Abstract

This work evaluates the impact of air renewal on energy consumption for indoor environments. For this purpose, an analysis of the problem of air renewal at a Brazilian level was carried out, as well as research into the energy impact of air renewal without energy recovery and the different existing technologies for recovering energy from renewed air. On the other hand, the influence of heat-recovery systems was analyzed in three Brazilian cities (Manaus, São Paulo, and Brasília) for different environments, where a classroom in Manaus has an approximately 50% external air factor and a 42% sensible heat factor. However, classrooms in São Paulo and Brasília have a lower external air factor (27% and 8%, respectively) and a higher sensible heat factor (61% and 78%, respectively). Considering a system with heat recovery, the external air factor decreases to 23%, 10%, and 3% for Manaus, São Paulo, and Brasília, respectively. This allows us to understand the influence of heat-recovery systems, which reduce the external air factor and increase the sensible heat factor.
