ANÁLISE DE RENTABILIDADE DE INVESTIMENTOS EM SISTEMAS DE REFRIGERAÇÃO COM ALTA EFICIÊNCIA ENERGÉTICA

This study analyzes the profitability of investments in high-energy-efficiency refrigeration systems, addressing the economic and environmental impacts of these systems compared to conventional technologies. Energy efficiency is essential for reducing operational costs and promoting sustainability, especially in sectors with high continuous refrigeration demand. The objective is to evaluate the economic feasibility of efficient systems, highlighting variables that influence the return on investment. A descriptive and qualitative literature review was conducted, analyzing studies on energy efficiency, environmental impact, and cost-benefit in commercial and industrial sectors. The findings indicate that, although the initial investment in high-efficiency technologies is high, these systems significantly reduce energy consumption and operational costs over time. It concludes that adopting efficient refrigeration systems is economically viable across various sectors, especially those with high energy demand, and an effective strategy for meeting environmental requirements and reducing emissions.
