The efficient and rational use of energy, the implementation of non-conventional technologies, and educational and outreach actions were the topics discussed at the meeting recently held between Dr. Yovani Barría, Project Coordinator of the National Energy Secretariat (SNE, for its acronym in Spanish) and members of the Energy Saving Committee of the Superintendency of Banks of Panama (SBP).
According to Law 69 dated 12 October 2012 that establishes the general guidelines of the national policy for the rational and efficient use of energy within the national territory, the SBP has been applying different measures, such as changes in air conditioning systems maintenance to achieve greater efficiency as well as training workshops and awareness campaigns for employees on the rational and efficient use of electricity consumption in the common areas of the institution.
Currently, the SBP’s Energy Saving Committee is working on the five-year energy saving plan to support this great national project, which seeks to decarbonize and reduce dependence on fossil fuels in the country; with these initiatives, the SBP will contribute to government energy saving and environment protection measures.
