Análise da norma internacional de eficiência energética IEC 60364-8-1: viabilidade técnico-financeira de aplicação às instalações elétricas brasileiras

Abstract

The propose of this study is a technical-financial feasibility analysis based on the guidelines of the international standard IEC 60364-8-1. Initially the situation of Brazil and the world in relation to the consumption of electric energy and the application of energy efficiency are presented. Next, it analyzes how Brazilian standards are involved in applying the concept of energy efficiency in the development of electrical installations projects and how the international standard, IEC 60364-8-1, addresses the subject. Then, it focuses on conductor design standards for low voltage electrical installations by comparing the advantages of the international standard IEC 60364-8-1 with the advantages of Brazilian standards.
