Indicators of energetic performance: A path to sustainability. "A case study of a high-roasting industry of coffee"

The result of the massive production of goods and services; has led our civilization to deal a major challenge: turning industrialized economies into sustainable industrial systems. The indicators of energetic performance achieve to improve the productive-energetic capacity of any organization and contribute to generate economic value, to reach the competitiveness and to mitigate the environmental impact. In the present research established the indicators of thermal energetic performance in one of nine high-roasting industry of coffee which cover more 90% of market in Colombia. The methodology used was based on the integral model of energy management. This study allowed to identify factors that affect directly the use and consumption of energy as the maintenance, the leaks of heat and lack of pressure and air calibration according to required power and to determine the scale of savings and expense in excess of thermal energy and CO2 amounts.
