Energy Efficiency Actions in the Classroom/Administrative Center of the Faculdade de Ciências e Tecnologia of the Universidade Federal de Goiás

Objective: This study proposes the implementation of energy efficiency measures in the building of the Faculty of Science and Technology, as part of an extension project at the Federal University of Goiás. Theoretical Framework: The recommendations of the National Electricity Conservation Program (PROCEL) from the Energy Research Company (EPE) were the main guidelines used for the actions proposed in this study. Method: The current energy consumption was assessed through direct measurement, along with the projected energy demand and the analysis of electricity bills from December 2023 and August 2024. Additionally, the main issues related to the improper use of electricity were observed and discussed. Results and Discussion: Based on a review of the literature and, primarily, the recommendations of PROCEL-EPP, a banner was developed to compile the suggestions observed and discussed with project members, along with other visual elements. Thus, even in its initial stage, the actions proposed in this study show promise in contributing to the improvement of energy efficiency at FCT and, consequently, to sustainable development. Research Implications: The results of this research highlight the potential for reducing energy consumption through the implementation of energy efficiency measures in public buildings. Originality/Value: The present study demonstrates that it is possible to change people's habits and mitigate the problems of high energy consumption through the creation of campaigns promoting energy efficiency.
