Avaliação do desempenho lumínico na Universidade Federal do Pampa – campus Alegrete

Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the lighting performance of several rooms at the Federal University of Pampa - Alegrete Campus, with the goal of identifying potential deficiencies and proposing improvements to ensure a learning-conducive environment. The methodology employed was based on performance standards (NBR 15575), natural lighting (NBR 15.215), and workplace lighting (NBR ISO/CIE 8995-1), resulting in the following steps: defining the study object; data collection of the rooms under study; defining the point grids for in-situ lighting measurement; processing the collected data; developing a diagnosis and solutions through computer simulation software. The results obtained from the measurements revealed the conditions at the time of the in-situ verification, identifying areas with lighting deficiencies, indicating the need for interventions through a lighting project. Despite the findings from the in-situ results, it was possible, with a new spatial configuration of different luminaires and the use of T8 LED lamps in the project conducted in DIALux evo, to achieve results that meet the requirements of the NBR ISO/CIE 8995-1 standard. The results of the new project ensured a reduction in energy consumption, with a decrease of more than 30% in the total installed power of all the studied rooms.
