Eficiência energética em espeço educacional: recomendações para consumo em campus do IFPE

Abstract

With the central theme of energy efficiency for sustainability, this dissertation aims to perform energy efficiency assessments of the standard architectural design for campuses of the Federal Institute of Pernambuco in different municipalities that represent the bioclimatic zones of Pernambuco through the Technical Regulation Quality for the Energy Efficiency Level in Commercial, Services and Public Buildings - RTQ-C and computational simulations, identifying design procedures that contribute to a good performance and reduction of energy consumption. Initially, it brings a theoretical reference on energy efficiency, with an approach on the origins of the energy efficiency of the buildings in the bioclimatic and sustainable architecture, on the climatic and architectural aspects that influence in the energy efficiency, methods, programs and certifications, besides computational simulations like Tools for efficient building design. Computational simulations of energy efficiency were performed with the Domus software for four geographic orientations and four different locations. The results were labeled "A" for the wrappings. It was studied efficient strategies, differences in energy consumption among localities, as well as considerations on environmental comfort and use of natural ventilation to reduce energy consumption. It was concluded that the studied project managed to minimize the influence of climatic variables through materials with good thermal insulation indexes and shading of the façades. It was emphasized the importance of energy efficiency as an instrument of environmental management to avoid new energy crises in Brazil and in the world. It is expected that this study of energy efficiency in buildings of a standard IFPE campus will contribute to improved environmental quality and minimized operation and maintenance costs, allowing better use of available resources.
