Abstract
The energy world crisis of 1973 besides the problems of supplying and the raise of prices also propitiated in various countries, a reaction aimed at the efficient use and conservation of energy and to the application of a common sense architecture: the BIOCLIMATIC ARCHITECTURE, which is based in utilization in the buildings of the alternate energies, such as the wind power, etc. The obtaining natural environmental comfort conditions and the saving and efficient use of energy in the buildings are the fundamental objectives of the BIOCLIMATIC ARCHITECTURE. Under these considerations several passive systems for the thermal control in buildings have been set forth, which have been applied in different climatic regions of the planet. This paper presents and analyzes the potential saving of energy through the implementation of practices such as the installation of artificial high efficiency lighting systems and passive cooling systems for the thermal control of an educational building -the central library of the Universidad Autonoma Metropolitana, Azcapotzalco Unit, located in Mexico City. The objective of this study is aimed at the reduction of the consumption of energy in the library and the attainment of comfortable hygrothermal environment for its occupants.

Studies performed during the first stage of the research, have permitted the identification of a excessive energy consumption and lack of comfort hygrothermal conditions and the need of high quality air inside the library. These actions have been focussed to two aspects. The first one is related to the improvement in the operation of the electric installation and in the library lighting. These actions were based in the substitution of lamps, load balancing of the secondary circuits, checking and improvement of the electric insulation a better selectivity of lighting switches installation in the vicinity of windows and areas with greater natural illumination. The second aspect refers to the calculation, design, construction and monitoring of the functioning of cooling passive systems. The results obtained to date point out that the energy consumption has diminished and improved the environmental comfort conditions for the library building users.
