Projeto de análise da eficiência energética do Museu Casa das Rosas de São Paulo - SP conforme parâmetros do programa nacional de etiquetagem (RTQ-C)

Abstract

Energy efficiency is essential for sustainable development, especially in the building sector, which consumes a significant portion of energy resources. This study analyzed Casa das Rosas, a historical landmark in São Paulo, based on the Technical Quality Regulation for Energy Efficiency Levels in Commercial, Service, and Public Buildings (RTQ-C). Using the prescriptive method, the building’s envelope, lighting, and air conditioning systems were evaluated. The envelope, consisting of thick walls and metal roofing, demonstrated good thermal performance, achieving an A-level rating, however, the roof did not meet the criteria required for higher efficiency levels, resulting in a level C classification for the system. The lighting system, efficient in using modern lamps, was rated level C due to the lack of automatic shutdown systems. The air conditioning system received a level B rating, with certified equipment that meets the building’s demands. Overall, Casa das Rosas was rated level A, proving the feasibility of combining historical preservation with sustainable practices. The building’s recent restoration modernized its energy systems without compromising its cultural significance. The study underscores the importance of regulations like the RTQ-C, highlighting that historic buildings can serve as examples in promoting sustainability and the efficient use of energy resources.
