Some information about energy efficiency in Brazil and the world: in Brazil complain of the cost of our energy, but much is still wasted, or misused. Electric energy consumed in the country, 42% is used for residential buildings, commercial and public. In the residential sector consumption reaches 23%, while commercial and public sectors reaches 11% and 8% respectively.
To illustrate the waste, take a simple example, on a small portion of total energy used in most Brazilian homes: around 92% of the energy that is spent with the use of incandescent bulbs is lost. This loss of energy can be demonstrated even in the narrower sense of the word, because the energy that heats the lamp and that burning our hands when the play is spent on heat energy, and not in light. Therefore, the energy actually consumed by incandescent lamp only 8% is converted into light energy.
In this example, may be added others, such as energy wasted with many other equipment kept in most homes, amazingly inefficient compared with more modern products already available in Japan and Europe. Already available in the market refrigerators, dryers and air conditioners more efficient, but the majority of the population still uses older models. And even the new electronics - the fastest growing segment in which demand for energy - even despediçam much energy.
Another excellent example is the control of TV and other equipment that is connected or not, use the same amount of energy. The same is true of video games, they spend as much as a refrigerator, which are always connected on stand-by because the "auto power" is not available. The same happens with the TV equipment and equipment for cable TV, which have no key or button that allows them shut. This means that we are throwing money in the trash!
Today, in Brazil, we have the Brazilian Labeling Program, whose goal is to stimulate conservation of energy through information labels, which aims to alert the consumer about the energy efficiency of major appliances nationals. This program was only in 2008, contributed to the generation of energy equivalent to a 942 MW hydroelectric plant, being replaced by compact fluorescent lamps and circular responsible for 49% of this volume.
In this program, the compact bulbs finally assume its role as a focus because it is the product that contributes most to its success (49%), since it is largely a product that reaches the entire class of consumers. Now the PBE collects and analyzes the quality of products through a complete and efficient network of Brazilian laboratories.
Sodium lamps also have a seal that allows the voluntary Procel prefectures higher reliability of products acquired in the market. Similarly, the program of electronic tagging of reactors, has consolidated, the consumer ensures efficiency and durability.
Although all Brazilians know that labeled products use less energy, few know also that a simple account of the lamp reduces light by approximately R $ 2.00 per month.
The mayors who came to take their positions can make a more efficient management of resources simply changing your car lighting products labeled by the PBE. The financial return is guaranteed before the end of its earnings quality management with significant public safety and the environment.
