Abstract(s)
No último século, a energia elétrica deixou de ser um recurso de luxo e tornou-se um bem
indispensável para a manutenção da sociedade, o que elevou significativamente o seu
consumo, sobretudo nas últimas décadas, com o advento e evolução das novas
tecnologias.
Todavia, este consumo apresenta significativas oportunidades de redução e melhorias,
principalmente na questão da eficiência energética, uma vez que muitas organizações
ainda tratam os custos referentes a tal consumo, como custos fixos, ao invés de tratá-los
da mesma forma que os outros dispêndios, tais como mão de obra e matérias-primas,
por exemplo, ou seja, custos variáveis.
Deste modo, estas oportunidades têm sido progressivamente alvos de investimentos e
pesquisas, sendo estes fomentados inclusive, pelas vigentes regulamentações
determinadas pelos governos, para que, assim, um desenvolvimento sustentável seja
alcançado mediante a obtenção de um retorno económico, sem que os fatores sociais e
ambientais sejam comprometidos.
Neste contexto, o objetivo do presente trabalho consiste em, através da consideração de
um caso de estudo - Faculdade de Ciências da Saúde (FCS) da Universidade da Beira
Interior (UBI) – aplicar o controlo de qualidade na gestão energética das instalações da
FCS-UBI, a fim de aumentar a eficiência energética do edifício e, consequentemente,
reduzir os seus custos por intermédio da implementação de recursos como os princípios
Lean, Six Sigma, ferramentas da qualidade e uma estratégia de manutenção
condicionada.
In the last century, electrical energy has ceased to be a luxury resource and has become an indispensable asset for the maintenance of the society, which has significantly increased its consumption, mainly in the last decades, with the advent and evolution of new technologies. However, this consumption presents significant opportunities for reduction and improvement, mainly in the area of energy efficiency, as many organizations still manage the costs related to such consumption as fixed costs, instead of dealing with them the same way as the other outlays, such as labor and raw materials, for example, that are considered as variable costs. Thereby, these opportunities have been progressively aimed by investments and research, being even fostered, by the current regulations determined by the governments, in order to achieve a sustainable development, by obtaining an economic return, without the compromise of the social and environmental factors. In this context, the objective of the present work consists of, through the consideration of a case study - Faculty of Health Sciences (FCS) of the University of Beira Interior (UBI) - applying quality control in the energy management of FCS-UBI facilities, in order to increase the efficiency of the building and, consequently, reduce costs through the implementation of resources such as Lean principles, Six Sigma, quality tools and an oncondition maintenance strategy.
