Eficiência energética no sistema de climatização: caso do bloco J da Universidade Federal do Tocantins Campus Palmas

Abstract

In 2001, Brazil had serious problems with energy rationing, this issue is strong again in this year of 2021. The importance of saving energy goes far beyond the issue of financial reasons, but also to the importance for the environment. The Federal University of Tocantins on the Palmas campus has more than 50 classrooms across the university. There is a very high energy consumption of electricity, in addition to the state of Tocantins having high temperatures throughout the year, the use of air conditioning is necessary for the well-being of students and professionals working at the University, classes take place during the three shifts: morning, afternoon and night. The employee of each block is responsible for the control that connects the air conditioning equipment. There is an unnecessary waste of energy that occurs during classes, an expense that can be avoided in all classes by installing a device.

Saving energy is not about not doing basic things that should be done using energy- consuming appliances, but avoiding the waste that can make a big difference at the

end of the day.
