Assessment of Energy Conservation Resource in Academic buildings seeking sustainable Energy planning

Abstract

The objective of this work is to evaluate the application of the Full Potentials Accounting and Valuation (FPVA) method for ranking Energy Resources in a faculty of a large private Brazilian company. This work is justified by the importance and complexity in decision making for the implementation of energy efficiency projects in a consumer company. The method for developing this work is divided into three steps, first the inventory of Energy Resources is carried out, then Resources are analyzed within the sub-attributes of the four dimensions of Integrated Resource Planning (IRP) and based on the opinion of internal stakeholders of the company, the ranking of the Resources identified is obtained. The work demonstrates that it is possible to have synergy for the application of methods developed in academic studies in the corporate market, in addition to opening the possibility of carrying out the same study in other teaching units of the studied company or in companies from other economic sectors.
