Fig 1. Energy Consumption and GHG Emission Reduction in Case Comparisons

# data[].attributes.body
As shown in table 4 and figure 1, when compared to the traditional project, based on gas, the project distributed energy system, shows 7% more energy as input, but when analyzing from the life cycle , is found to significantly reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions with 8% and 38%.

The Distributed Energy System project has a positive effect, but limited in terms of saving energy and reducing emissions.

1.DEFINITION OF THE REACH AND OBJECTIVE                    The definition of objectives should include:                            • Reasons to carry out the study and type of information that is expected to be obtained.                                      • Planned application of the study and use (what will you do with the results?)                  • Expected target of the study (ie, whether it will be an internal report, if it will be made public and to whom).

2. INVENTORY ANALYSIS Quantification of the inputs and outputs of the system under study. The data obtained in this phase is the starting point for the Life Cycle Impact Assessment. The stages to quantify are those that make up the Life Cycle of the product / process / service:                                       a. Adquisición de Materias Primas                                        b. Manufactura, Procesado y Formulación                               c. Distribución y transporte d. Uso, reutilización, mantenimiento                          e. Gestión de Residuos

ACV's relationship to ISO 14040 and 14044

# data[].attributes.body
The relationship of the ACV with ISO 14040 and 14044, is because this standard is the framework and principles for the creation of the life cycle analysis, are carried out with international standards, which set the guidelines for the elaboration of them.

The Colombian Technical Standards ISO 14040 and 14044 provide the parameters to be followed in Colombia for the analysis of life cycles, the framework of application, the phases or steps to be followed, the concepts to be taken into account, which gives clear guidelines for meeting an excellent lifecycle analysis design with current regulations.

# data[].attributes.body
The life cycle analysis identifies potential environmental aspects and impacts.

There are 4 phases for the application of the ACV, these are:

1. Phase of definition of the objective and scope

2. Inventory analysis phase

3. Phase of the environmental impact assessment

4. Interpretation phase.

# data[].attributes.body
The analysis of the life cycle of the products, was created in response to the growing concern about the impacts to the environment related to the industrial processes for the creation of products.

Some of the advantages of the implementation of the life cycle analysis are:

1. Identification of opportunities to improve environmental performance of the products in the different stages of their life cycle.
2.Selection of relevant environmental performance indicators

4. INTERPRETATION                 It is a systematic assessment of the needs and opportunities to reduce the environmental burdens associated with the consumption of energy, raw materials and the environmental impact of emissions that take place during the life cycle of a product, process or activity.
