Projeto e desenvolvimento de sistema não invasivo para eficiência energética em aparelhos de ar condicionado

Abstract

The search for environmental comfort in building and commercial installations has been the subject of research and normative updates in several areas of engineering and architecture. Thermal comfort, specifically, depends on the use of air conditioners which, depending on how they are used, can negatively impact electricity consumption. This work presents the design and development of a system to minimize the impact that air conditioners can provide in environments where thermal comfort associated with the installation's energy efficiency is desired. The system is made up of electronic elements that, in addition to preventing the use of air conditioning at inappropriate times, adjusts the temperature of the device according to the time of day and the temperature outside the room. Preliminary operating results are presented in order to demonstrate the potential of the system.
