EFICIÊNCIA ENERGÉTICA: substituição das luminárias fluorescentes por luminárias leds na biblioteca da universidade federal – UNIFAL - MG

Abstract

This work aims to evaluate the efficiency parameters in the library of the Federal University of Alfenas - UNIFAL - MG, located in the city of Alfenas, Minas Gerais. An important theme due to the problem in Brazil with the scarcity of natural resources caused by the population growth and the increase of the energy consumption, also causing the increase of the energy demand. The place to carry out the project was chosen due to its high energy consumption from the lighting system, where it is now considered obsolete, a fact demonstrated by the lack of efficiency of the lamps and luminaires used in the place. A large bibliographical research was done to obtain information and data for follow-up in the project. This information is of fundamental importance to the sequence of work. They will be used as a basis for the Energy Efficiency Actions (ESAs) that will be suggested to follow this project. In this stage, the computational tool DIALUX will be used with the purpose of simulation of the proposed system due to the study carried out in relation to the Energy Efficiency Actions (AEE) of the place. As a complement to the Energy Efficiency Actions (AEEs), the International Measurement and Performance Verification Protocol will be used, which defines the main parameters for the application of EEE together with NBR 8995 -1, where it defines the main parameters of lighting environments. Two baselines of actions will be used in this work, the retrofit that is the substitution of all the fluorescent luminaires existing in the place by LED luminaires, considered more efficient, and an ESA project that will be proposed through the Cost and Benefit Ratio for the system of the Library of the Federal University of Alfenas. It is expected that after the ESAs, it is reasoned that the Energy Efficiency (EE) process, even if it generates a high momentary cost, will bring more quality to the system as a whole in the library, since being efficient is nothing more than the optimization of use of electricity.
