Proposta de um plano de ação de gestão energética para implementação na gestão pública

Abstract

With an increasing demand for electricity each year, coupled with a strong emphasis on sustainability, various sectors in Brazil are seeking different ways to reduce their electricity consumption. This includes a greater focus on energy efficiency, creating opportunities to reduce electricity waste and optimize processes, thereby promoting the rational use of electricity by users. Thus, the present work aims to develop an energy plan for an energy management department applied in the public management sector. The methodology to be employed, Lean Energy, will be presented, which includes Lean Six Sigma concepts applied to reduce electricity waste, as well as the main opportunities to achieve a savings of between 5% and 20% in electricity consumption. A detailed plan for the department will also be provided, with suggestions regarding its organizational structure and its actions in the initial years of implementation. A case study will be presented in the context of the Federal University of Ceará (UFC) to exemplify a possible role of the department in the area of energy efficiency and the importance of this program’s knowledge among the staff and students of the institution. Thus, this study proposes the implementation of Lean Energy in public management, aiming to integrate Lean methodology knowledge, the requirements of ISO 50.001, and data analysis related to electricity consumption, as well as providing initial guidance for the department's implementation. The proposal aims to improve energy efficiency in public institutions, resulting in savings in electricity consumption and a reduction in environmental impacts, promoting sustainable practices and contributing to knowledge about energy management. Through this action plan, it is observed that even simple measures involving changes in habits by those involved can bring satisfactory results in reducing electricity consumption, thereby creating a more efficient and economical process.
