Aliar ao ambiente acadêmico o aspecto prático, buscar soluções para a economia de energia através do debate de soluções, proporcionar que os assuntos conservação de energia e eficiência energética sejam discutidos e tratados com relevância serão fundamentais para o desenvolvimento do país nos próximos anos. Novas oportunidades de pesquisa e desenvolvimento tanto no setor energético quanto no setor produtivo surgem e nos trazem a possibilidade que avanços tecnológicos ocorram. O entendimento da legislação e dos problemas relacionados ao consumo inadequado da energia propicia a criação de parâmetros básicos bem como a formação de políticas industriais de conservação e eficiência energética que venham a promover o melhor aproveitamento dos recursos disponíveis a menores custos. O estudo desta dissertação baseia-se em verificar quais os impactos a Lei 10.295 trouxe sobre a Matriz Energética brasileira e se houveram ganhos efetivos após a obrigatoriedade do atendimento da referida Lei. Cita os desafios para se aumentar ainda mais o rendimento dos motores elétricos sem aumentar seus tamanhos nem seus custos de fabricação e reafirma o esforço na busca por melhores materiais e por projetos que venham a melhorar a eficiência dos mesmos. Apresenta a evolução tecnológica dos motores elétricos e as vantagens da utilização dos motores de indução, devido os baixos custos de fabricação, a facilidade de transporte, a robustez mecânica, além da grande versatilidade de adaptação às cargas e de melhores rendimentos. Analisa o setor energético brasileiro, a geração e o consumo de energia no país, ressaltando a participação da indústria no consumo de energia elétrica no Brasil. Avalia os dados colhidos no Balanço Energético Nacional - BEN de 2010 e segmenta o consumo de energia elétrica da Indústria brasileira somente para a utilização de motores elétricos. Mostra-nos a evolução da legislação brasileira de eficiência em motores elétricos de indução trifásicos, o programa brasileiro de etiquetagem e o futuro da conservação de energia na indústria brasileira, com uma breve apresentação da norma ISO 50001 Diante dos dados e resultados deste estudo, concluímos que o atendimento da Lei trará, em um curto espaço de tempo, índices significativos de redução do consumo de energia elétrica e de eficiência energética no Brasil / Abstract: The management and conservation of energy are current topics of great importance. To add practicality to the academic scenario, find energy saving solutions through discussion, provide that the issues of energy conservation and energy efficiency are discussed and treated with relevance are key aspects to the country's development in coming years. New opportunities for research and development both in the energy and the productive sectors arise and offer the possibility of technological advances. Understanding the legislation and the problems related to inadequate consumption of energy enables the creation of basic parameters as well as the formation of industrial policies of energy conservation and efficiency which may come to promote a better use of available resources at lower cost. The study of this dissertation were a basis to check what the impacts that the Act has brought on the 10,295 Brazilian Energy Matrix and if there were effective gains after the obligation of attendance of the Act. Mentions challenges to further increase the efficiency of electric motors without increasing its sizes or its costs manufacturing and reaffirms the effort in the search for better materials and projects that will improve its efficiency. Presents the technological evolution of the electric motors and the advantages of the use of induction motors, because the low cost manufacturing, ease of transportation, mechanical robustness, and the versatility to adapt to loads and higher efficiency. Analyzes the Brazilian energy sector, the generation and consumption of energy in this country, highlighting the industry participation in the electricity consumption in Brazil. Evaluates the data collected in the National Energy Balance - BEN 2010 and segments the energy consumption of the Brazilian industry only for the use of electric motors. Present the evolution of Brazilian legislation of efficiency three-phase induction motors, the Brazilian labeling program and the future of energy conservation in the Brazilian industry, with a brief introduction of the ISO 50001 standard. In conclusion, given the data and results of this study, that the attendance of Law will, in a short time, significant reduction indices of energy consumption and energy efficiency in Brazil / Mestrado / Automação / Mestre em Engenharia Elétrica

Improving the energy efficiency of manufactured homes is important, as manufactured homes are built to a federal code which may not capture all the cost effective efficiency options available today. Energy efficiency improvements range from simple and inexpensive changes in manufacturing techniques (e.g. sealing duct systems) to more expensive additions (e.g. high performance windows) which still may be cost effective. This study will examine the most cost-effective options for energy conservation in manufactured homes including enhanced envelope and heating and cooling equipment options. Using cost information from various manufacturers and the simulation tool, Energy Gauge USA®, optimum energy conservation packages will be created for one or more climates. These packages will present manufacturers and homeowners with a guide to the costs and savings associated with various levels of energy conservation.
