Estudo de caso para eficiência energética em edifícios antigos

Abstract

With the large increase in electricity consumption in Brazil facing the high water crisis plaguing the country, the efficient use of electricity has become a recurring theme. Today several laws, decrees and federal regulations encourage efficient energy consumption. Besides encouraging, these federal regulations governing the production and marketing of products that are energetically efficient. There are several operating and maintenance methods to increase the efficiency of energy use. These methods can reduce losses during the energy consumption. Along these methods, we still can rely on the use of equipment with high-energy efficiency ratio, which decrease even more the consumption of electric power. After reviewing the facilities of old buildings, you could see that there are equipments with high operation time and demanding a high consumption electricity. Making up the necessary changes, the power consumption can be decreased significantly. These changes may reduce the tariff to be paid and the amount of taxes.
