Proposta de Alternativa de Sistemas de Cogeração como Fator de Redução de Custos no Consumo de Energia no Hospital Alpha

Abstract

Hospitals have high energy consumption per unit area due to the continuous use of heating and cooling equipment, essential for maintaining thermal comfort and indoor air quality. This study analyzes the feasibility of implementing a cogeneration system at Alpha Hospital, considering its structure, equipment, and consumption patterns. The research proposes a cogeneration variant and assesses its economic feasibility, demonstrating potential cost reductions and positive environmental impacts.
