Eficiência energética:um estudo de caso em uma empresa de treinamentos em elétrica - Treinar Serviços

Abstract

Energy efficiency in businesses and industries is an increasingly important topic, driven by rising energy costs, pressure to reduce CO2 emissions, and environmental concerns central to modern discourse—given that natural resources are finite while human needs tend to be limitless. With this in mind, this study aims to explore ways to reduce corporate energy consumption by analyzing inefficiencies and the suboptimal use of systems related to lighting, motors, and various electrical components. The methodology employed was a case study conducted at a training company located in the Vale do Aço region of Minas Gerais. The study involved an inventory of all electricity-consuming equipment at the company and the development of a proposal to replace such equipment. The findings highlight that energy efficiency measures offer a viable alternative for companies facing growing energy demands; indeed, increasing energy efficiency is essential to optimizing consumption and ensuring the safe, sustainable use of electricity. Consequently, methods to improve efficiency are proposed. Ultimately, the study concludes that energy efficiency is a crucial step toward reducing consumption and should serve as the primary tool for achieving such reductions—thereby also lowering pollutant emissions.
