Solar energy continues to be the main choice of educational institutions to promote energy efficiency and savings. This time, UniSatc (Santa Catarina Carbon Industry Charitable Association), in partnership with the city of Criciúma (SC), is analyzing the installation of a sustainable project in one of the city's schools.
Located in the Vila Natureza neighborhood, CEIM (Municipal Early Childhood Education Center) Natureza has been receiving technical visits in recent months from students of the electrical engineering course at UniSatc who designed the program.
The aim was to survey the electrical installations, calculate demand and compare it with the institution's current consumption, so that the unit can be included in a photovoltaic pilot project.
“Since 2016 we have had a partnership with the city of Criciúma, in which we help with the evaluation and updating of electrical installations in municipal schools. This year, in addition to the usual processes, in which we update school projects to meet new energy demands, we are working on a program, also requested by the city hall, to use solar energy”, explained Franciele Ronchi, teacher responsible for the initiative.
“This is an excellent opportunity for everyone involved in learning and applying a technology that is increasingly being used by companies, homes and in the public sector, as is the case with the project with the city hall”, highlighted André Tavares, course coordinator of electrical engineering at UniSatc.
In this way, according to him, they are contributing to the training of professionals in this area and reducing electricity costs, in addition to reducing the impact on the environment in the municipality of Criciúma.
