Análise de Impactos no RTQ-C com a adoção da Norma ISO 8995:2002 deIluminância de Interiores

Abstract

The revision of the brazilian standard NBR 5413 to conform to the standard ISO 8995:2002 will lead to several changes in the classification of buildings that seek PROCEL labeling (the Brazilian National Initiative for Reduction of Energy Consumption). The RTQ-C (Quality Technical Regulation for Energy Efficiency in Public, Commercial and Service Buildings) was revised in September, 2010 and now stablishes new methods to determine the lighting power density in commercial and public and services environments, setting the maximum levels of illumination power density to the medium illuminance levels of NBR 5413 standard various of these levels will rise when ISO 8995 is adapted. Consequently, several environments will have power densities over the upper limit specified by RTQ-C, turning it harder to obtain the PROCEL Level A labeling. The impact analysis of the NBR 5413 standard changings may result in proposes of what needs to be changed in RTQ-C to adequate it to ISO 8995:2002 standard and the difficulties which the designers may find in obtaining PROCEL Edifica Level A seals.
