Evaluation of energy efficiency and proposal of sustainable solutions for block E of the Fluminense Federal Institute Campus Campos Guarus

The development model used by society has amplified the use of natural resources, and as consequence of this disproportionate use, there is environmental impact. Therefore, one of the solutions to soften that process effects, is the efficient use of that resources. So, the search for sustainability reached the branch of civil construction, consequently setting goals for energy-efficiency. This work has as objective to evaluate the energy-efficiency of an edification at Fluminense Federal Institute Campus Campos Guarus. Two main points are addressed: air conditioning and lighting, since they're the biggest consumers on electric energy in a construction. This document uses methodologies provided in technical standard to calculate thermal load and technical lighting study. This way, solutions to improve energy-efficiency are listed, along with alternatives for optimization of consumption. Finally, these proposals are evaluated by the technical and financial viability. It’s noticed the efficiency of LED (Light Emitting Diode) lamps compared to fluorescent tube lamps and oversizing of the thermal load in the building E.
