A EFICIÊNCIA ENERGÉTICA DE UM PROJETO INDUSTRIAL DO SETOR ALIMENTÍCIO: UM ESTUDO DE CASO

Abstract

This work focuses on the development of an industrial project structured with energy efficiency concepts and regulatory standards for a sorbet manufacturing industry. The study began with data collection, evaluation of the production process, and identification of the necessary equipment. Based on this assessment, the project planning sought to optimize natural resources such as natural lighting and ventilation, aiming to improve thermal and environmental comfort while reducing potential issues, losses, and inefficiencies within the facility. The proposal also included the creation of a new layout and architectural design, grounded in the recommendations of applicable regulatory standards, such as NBR 5410, NBR 14039, NBR ISO 50001, NBR ISO/CIE 8995-1, and NR-10. The methodology adopted combines both qualitative and quantitative approaches, employing case studies, energy calculations, and solar and lighting simulations. The results highlight the development of an energy management system, layout adjustments, and equipment upgrades. Ultimately, this work demonstrates the feasibility of an efficient industrial project.
