The country currently lives an energy crisis due to the fact that 70% of the generated electricity comes from fuel powered generators. The crisis surges because of the high costs of fuel on which the country's electrical generation rely on, and because clean energy resources capable to displace the fuel generated electricity have not been implemented and finally by a high consumption of electricity. In the presence of this situation, all Hondurans are compelled to implement energy efficiency on our homes, industries and in public and private buildings. The UNAH is not exempt from this energy crisis and it has to implement a viable energy saving plan on the illumination system of the 4-A building, and the most important part of this program is that it does not require a monetary investment which makes it feasible in almost a 100%. The plan consists in the modification of the electric timer and a adequate setting on the times on the timer. It was also found that the electric transformer of the building is overcharged and requires an urgent replacement
Key Words: Electrical energy; energy crisis; energy consumption; energy saving.
