Projeto de eficiência energética no Instituto Federal de Educação de São Paulo, Campus Boituva.

Abstract

This paper presents a case study within the scope of the Energy Efficiency Program (PEE) from the National Electric Energy Agency. It’s based on technical procedures to save energy and reduce demand at rush hours so as to bring benefits to the consumer by reducing the amount paid on their invoice, as well as the Brazil's generation, transmission and distribution system by reducing the need for investments of system expansion. Due to the constant growth of the area, more advanced techniques of measurement and verification are imposed for better project viability, and that is the reason why the concepts of linear correlation and linear regression model are commonly used in the context of energy efficiency. The study of efficiency actions at the Federal Institute of São Paulo, Campus Boituva was able, from an investment of R$ 384.522,61, to reduce its energy consumption by 144.33 MWh/year and 11.50 kW less demand at the rush hour.
