Análise da Viabilidade Econômica da Utilização do Sistema Fotovoltaico em Habitações de Interesse Social em Belo Horizonte, MG

Abstract

Research systematically points to the depletion of natural resources. There is an urgent need to use cleaner sources of energy, especially with the unplanned growth of cities. The lack of housing is a reality and directly impacts the quality of life of the population. This work proposes to study the economic viability of using the photovoltaic system in social dwelling in Belo Horizonte/MG, more specifically in the Paulo VI neighborhood, in the northeastern region of the capital of Minas Gerais. Through the literature review, seeking to deepen the theme, surveying the information in the case study and applying formulas and simulations by specific software focused on solar energy (Rhinoceros®, Grasshopper® and Ladybug®), the results obtained demonstrate the potential of the photovoltaic system, especially if associated with the solar heating, and using Ordinance No.643, which provides for the conditions for the provision of alternative energy generation systems for the Minha Casa Minha Vida Program. The study also demonstrates the technique of The Solar Envelope, which suggests an implantation and form of the building different from the usual one, in order to privilege the natural lighting and ventilation. An aesthetic possibility for both architecture and urbanism, envisioning sustainable growth. Research on new technologies and materials is of great importance in alternative energy systems and points to economic viability in social housing.
