Abstract(s)
A eficiência energética busca otimizar o uso dos recursos energéticos, minimizando o desperdício e as perdas de energia. Este conceito visa não apenas a redução do consumo energético, mas também a diminuição da emissão de gases de efeito estufa, tornando a utilização de energia mais sustentável. A eficiência energética implica no uso racional e sustentável da energia, visando a redução de custos financeiros e ambientais, e promovendo uma melhor qualidade de vida para a sociedade. É notório que
a sustentabilidade na construção civil tem ganhado destaque tanto no meio acadêmico, com o crescimento de estudos científicos a respeito do assunto, quanto no comercial, com a crescente demanda de tecnologias e materiais que otimizem o uso de energia em uma residência. Países e renomadas organizações internacionais, como a Organização das Nações Unidas, estão empenhados em implementar práticas sustentáveis tanto em âmbito nacional quanto global. Diante deste panorama voltado à sustentabilidade, o Brasil se destaca em alguns aspectos, desde sua rica biodiversidade até aspectos geográficos, considerando sua vasta extensão territorial e densidade populacional, no entanto enfrenta alguns desafios, como o investimento financeiro em medidas de eficiência energética residencial e a falta de ensino sobre o tema nas instituições de ensino, por exemplo. Um dos fatores primordiais a ser investigado, decorrente da mencionada agenda sustentável, concerne ao uso eficiente de energia pela população brasileira em suas residências. Assim, o estudo em questão se debruça sobre essa temática, examinando preliminarmente
os contextos socioeconômico, climático e energético do Brasil, visando compreender a realidade contemporânea enfrentada pelos brasileiros. Adicionalmente, são explorados tópicos que mensuram os avanços do país no domínio da eficiência energética, considerando legislações, iniciativas educacionais, programas, instituição de órgãos reguladores, diretivas e a incorporação de tecnologias que fomentem a eficiência energética. Por fim, apresentam-se os resultados de um questionário aplicado aos
residentes do município de Belo Horizonte, objetivando discernir a realidade e práticas da população acerca da eficiência energética em suas residências e, assim, consolidar as conclusões advindas das revisões bibliográficas realizadas no presente estudo sobre o tema proposto.
Energy efficiency seeks to maximize the use of energy resources while minimizing waste and energy losses in various activities. This concept aims not only to reduce energy consumption but also to decrease the emission of greenhouse gases, making energy use more sustainable. Energy efficiency implies the rational and sustainable use of energy, aiming to reduce financial and environmental costs, and promoting a better quality of life for society. It is noteworthy that sustainability in civil construction has gained prominence both in the academic environment, with the growth of scientific studies on the subject, and in the commercial sphere, with the increasing demand for technologies and materials that optimize energy use in a residence. Countries and renowned international organizations, such as the United Nations, are committed to implementing sustainable practices both nationally and globally. In this panorama focused on sustainability, Brazil stands out in some aspects, from its rich biodiversity to geographical aspects, considering its vast territorial extension and population density. However, it faces some challenges, such as financial investment in residential energy efficiency measures and the lack of education on the topic in educational institutions, for example. One of the primary factors to be investigated, stemming from the aforementioned sustainable agenda, concerns the efficient use of energy by the Brazilian population in their residences. Thus, the study in question focuses on this theme, preliminarily examining the socioeconomic, climatic, and energy contexts of Brazil, aiming to understand the contemporary reality faced by Brazilians. Additionally, topics that measure the country's progress in the field of energy efficiency are explored, considering legislation, educational initiatives, programs, the establishment of regulatory bodies, directives, and the incorporation of technologies that promote energy efficiency. Finally, the results of a questionnaire applied to residents of the municipality of Belo Horizonte are presented, aiming to discern the reality and practices of the population regarding energy efficiency in their residences and, thus, consolidate the conclusions derived from the bibliographic reviews conducted in the present study on the proposed theme.
