Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
At Universidad Autónoma de Tamaulipas we are in a process of renovating the lights using LED technology
that helps us reduce energy consumption as well as reduce heat generation. Likewise, there is an insulation
system in the glass and roofs of the buildings, which allows us to be more efficient in the use of electrical
energy
