Estudo de caso: eficiência energética em um condomínio

Abstract

The energy reserves are getting scarce, because of the increasing necessity of energy, it is necessary to use them in the most efficient way possible. The subject Energy Efficiency has been growing and has become increasingly addressed. This paper aims to approach the realization of techniques directed to the efficient use of energy. A case study will be presented in a condominium, where an Energy Efficiency study was conducted. A search for essential information was carried out on site where possible points of misuse of energy could be raised so that simulations of changes could be applied for a better energy use, from an Energy Audit. With the data collected, several techniques and calculations were presented that led to conclusions that possible modifications can make the use of energy used more efficiently and economically. Calculations of economic feasibility of these possible modifications are presented. Some of these changes consist of the replacement of conventional motors with higher efficiency, the use of more efficient light bulbs and the change of tariff modality from the investment in a substation.
