Estudo de um sistema de iluminação eficiente utilizando a tecnologia a LED no bloco E da Universidade Tecnológica Federal do Paraná - câmpus Curitiba

Abstract

This research presents a technical-economic study about the replacement of the current lighting system of Bloco E of the Federal Technological University of Paraná, Curitiba Campus, for a lighting system based on LED technology. It introduces information about natural lighting use, data regarding different types of lamps and their applications, as well as a comparative of existent lighting simulation software. It collects data on the characteristics of Bloco E, of the related University, in order to evaluate the conditions of the current lighting system. Next, outcomes of the simulations with tubular fluorescent lamps and tubular LED lamps are presented. As a result it is made a technical-economic comparison between the simulated systems, and it is noticed that the LED technology is still too expensive in order to be used in buildings.
