Uso de equipamentos economizadores de água no IFBA, Campus Salvador, um estudo no bloco b

Abstract

The main objective of this final course work is to perform an economic analysis of water consumption when replacing conventional hydraulic equipment with water-saving models in Block B of IFBA, Salvador Campus. To achieve this goal, specific objectives were defined, including a bibliographic review on the subject, measurement of the flow rate of hydraulic equipment, identification of water-saving equipment and comparative analysis between the flow rates of existing equipment and water-saving equipment. The methodology adopted involves the construction of a theoretical basis, a cadastral survey of the equipment, the identification of water-saving technologies and the analysis of the benefits associated with the implementation of these measures. The preliminary results reveal high water consumption in the existing hydraulic equipment in Block B, but also indicate significant savings with the replacement of water-saving equipment and show a reduction of up to 53.53% in water consumption, which can result in considerable savings in the water bills of Block B. It is expected that the results of this work will serve as a basis for the implementation of an improvement project in Block B and in other blocks of the Salvador Campus, aiming at reducing water consumption, financial savings and promoting environmental sustainability.
