has also replaced the illuminated signs installed on the
building’s facade in Villaviciosa, incorporating LED lamps.
Overall, these measures have reduced the Company’s
energy consumption by 217,053 kWh per year. At the
same time measures to promote sustainable energy
consumption have continued, including lowering the
stage lighting during commercial breaks in live shows
and during “dead time” in recordings. In addition, the
solar panels installed in the new building have a total
installed power of 10·5 kW which directly feeds the
installations.
While energy saving measures have been maintained and
encouraged throughout the year, the level of electricity
consumption has remained almost identical to the
previous year. This is due to greater higher production
activity at the facilities, resulting in an increased energy
demand which has offset the savings achieved by the
measures implemented.
Regarding of diesel and propane gas consumption,
there has been a sharp decline in 2013 compared with
the previous year mainly due to the replacement of
these fuels with natural gas in the kitchen facilities. In
addition, diesel consumption increased in 2012 due
to the large number of tests required to star t up and
adjust the back-up power generator installed for the
new building.
The Company’s natural gas consumption has increased
considerably in 2013, primarily due to the heat generation
system at the new building which involves a system of
natural gas heaters and also to the utilisation of natural
gas at the studio kitchens.
The regular stationary supplier holds the ISO 9001, ISO
14001 and OHSAS 18001 certificates. Toner suppliers
hold the ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certificates.
Consumption of tapes, discs and other recording storage
materials declined significantly in 2013. This reduction
is mainly due to two reasons: firstly, in 2013 the quality
control over Boing programmes was handled directly by
the distributor, delivering the required quality material
for broadcast; Secondly, production of the “La que se
avecina” series, which required a large consumption of
such materials, was outsourced.
