Estudo sobre o sistema de iluminação das áreas de circulação de uma edificação hospitalar

Abstract

This paper presents a case study about the lighting system of the circulation areas of a hospital. As a reference for this work, the activities were developed at the Universitary Hospital of Santa Maria (HUSM). Were analyzed the luminotecnic system currently installed. Based on regulations that control the characteristics of lighting in word environments and, if necessary, changes are proposed, for a better compliance with the current regulations. In this work, the main norm is the “NBR8995 - Iluminação de Ambientes de Trabalho - Parte 1: Interior”. After collecting information on the hospital lighting system, additional field visits and simulations ate carried out to optimally assess the essential criteria for carrying this work: the medium illuminance, the uniformity factor, the energy con- sumption and the efficiency of the system as a whole. The results show that the use of new technologies contributes to a lighting system up to six times more efficient, accompanied by a reduction in electricity costs.
