Análise de certificação de edificação pública de ensino e pesquisa visando nível A pelo RTQ-C através de ações de eficiência energética e análise econômica

Abstract

This dissertation presents the analysis of energy efficiency of the Ceamazon building, a research laboratory bounded to the Federal University of Pará. For this study it was utilized the prescriptive method of the “Regulamento Técnico da Qualidade para o Nível de Eficiência Energética de Edificações Comerciais, de Serviços e Públicas – RTQ-C”. RTQ-C’s energy analysis involves three distinct parameters: the building envelope, the artificial illumination system and the air-conditioning system. The study of the characteristics of each one of these systems provides material for the necessary calculations of the method, which will result in a numeric equivalent for each one, representing the efficiency of each system. This dissertation’s analysis was done mainly at the artificial illumination system and the air-conditioning system, since one previous analysis of the building’s envelope had already collected good results. The primary goal of this dissertation was to fit the building studied in the level A of energy efficiency proposed by the regulation. Thus, adjustments were made to the project from the energetic point of view, specifically on the artificial illumination and air-conditioning systems, aiming not only the maximum classification according to RTQ-C but also energy savings and the consequent reduction of costs. Therefore, proposals of inclusion of energetic alternatives to the building will also be presented, aiming at a higher energy efficiency, as well as economic viability analysis and energetic simulations of the alterations proposed to the building project, utilizing the softwares RetScreen and EnergyPlus.
