Estudo de caso: diagnóstico e eficiência energética aplicado ao Centro de Tecnologia da Universidade Federal do Ceará

Abstract

With the emergence of new tools and technologies that encourage energy conservation, the application of these resources becomes relevant for public companies where, where energy costs can only be around 10% of their budgets. Therefore, this work aims to expose procedures and results acquired from research carried out through the Institutional Program for Administration Scholarships (PIBAD) of the Federal University of Ceará, making a brief description of the methodologies applied in this work. It was also analyzed, based on the energy efficiency procedure standard, PROPEE, prepared by ANEEL, and the Instruction Manual for Energy Efficiency Projects in Public Buildings of the National Electricity Conservation Program, PROCEL, the procedures for diagnoses and implementation of improvements as well as calculation of technical and financial feasibility. The stage of obtaining data was restricted to the Technology Center of the Federal University of Ceará due to the limited duration of the scholarship and included the collection of lighting data, area of the environments, power of the luminaires and air conditioning. Through data analysis, economic improvement scenarios were proposed with the Retrofit of lamps and efficiency air conditioning and the adoption of educational attitude.
