Resumen
Desde el año 2012 se comenzó a trabajar en la Universidad Nacional de Costa Rica (UNA) en el Programa de Gestión Ambiental Institucional (PGAI), establecido mediante Decreto Ejecutivo N° 36499 S MINAET (2011) Reglamento para la elaboración de programas de gestión ambiental institucional en el sector público de Costa Rica. Dentro de estos marcos, el presente trabajo expone el estudio realizado con el objetivo de determinar el comportamiento ambiental de la UNA y el grado de avance de las estrategias y acciones previamente establecidas y su posible efectividadmediante laverificación de la demanda institucional de energía eléctrica, agua, combustible fósil, papel y residuos sólidos aprovechables para el período 2011-2016. Con esto se tiene un control ambiental mediante la generación de indicadores fiables, verificables y accesibles. Los datos mensuales utilizados en el análisis se sumaron para obtener valores totales anuales; estos valores se dividieron por la población universitaria para obtener también indicadores per cápita. A nivel per cápita se continúa disminuyendo anualmente la cantidad de estos recursos consumidos en la institución. Los resultados son un reflejo de mejoras en la implementación de metas ambientales y acciones que integran a la totalidad de la población universitaria, encaminadas hacia un desarrollo sustentable en la institución.
Since 2012 the National university of Costa Rica starts to work in the institutional of environmental management program (PGAI) establish through the executive decree N° 36499-S-MINAET regulation for the institutional of environmental management program elaboration in the public sector in Costa Rica. On these frame, the objective of this study was to determinate the environmental behavior of the UNA and the advance degree of the strategies and actions previously established and its possible effectiveness thru the verification of the institutional electric, water, fossil fuels, paper and usable solid waste demand for the 2011 – 2016 period. With this we have an environmental control through reliable, verifiable and accessible indicators. The monthly data used on the analysis were added to obtain annual values and divided between the university populations for the per capita indicators. At the per capita level the annual consumption quantity of the institution have been reduced. These results are due to the improvement on the implementation of environmental action and goals that integrate the whole university population, looking for a sustainable development in the institution.
