Design of an eco-efficiency system for sustainable development in the university context

Abstract

The main objective of the research is to determine the relationship between the design of an eco-efficiency system and the sustainable development of the Universidad Nacional José Faustino Sánchez Carrión. The study has a quantitative approach, non-experimental design, transectional cut and correlational scope. There was a population of 1304 workers, including teachers and administrative staff, from which a sample of 297 workers was obtained. The information was managed by means of the survey, using the questionnaire as an instrument, whose reliability was 0.971, according to Cronbach's Alpha coefficient, and the validity was 0.91, according to the content validity method carried out by three expert judges. Finally, it was possible to prove that there is an asymptotic significance (p=0.000) lower than the significance level (0.05), with a Spearman's Rho correlation of R= 0.490 considered positive and moderate. In other words, the design of an eco-efficiency system has a direct relationship with the sustainable development of the Universidad Nacional José Faustino Sánchez Carrión. This allowed inferring that such design allows reducing expenses in energy, water, paper and related materials, fuels, as well as adequately managing solid waste, making environmentally sustainable public purchases, promoting a culture of eco-efficiency and using clean technologies. In other words, these actions implemented, thanks to the eco-efficiency design, will improve the sustainable development of the university.

Water contamination due to oil spill in Ancon

“…This suggests that there is widespread awareness of the magnitude and relevance of the social problem in question. 42 These findings support previous research that has identified and documented the importance and impact of this problem in society 22,43,44 . In relation to the source of unhealthy conditions, it was found that 50.0% of the participants agreed or strongly agreed with the existence of a source of unhealthy conditions related to the social problem.…”

“…The methodology used to develop an energy management system [14], focused on the study and analysis of energy performance, should diagnose the use and consumption of energy [15], which allow a proper atmosphere for the development of energy management standards [16], energy can be managed because it is a resource that can achieve many benefits [17], such as reducing costs and increasing competitiveness [18], [19]. Energy use is the form or type of application in production processes [20].…”
