Resumo: | Public Lightning is an important part of municipality’s nighttime landscape. Lighting can be used to enhance public safety and security while improving the aesthetic appeal of the surrounding properties but with the current global financial crisis, such lighting systems must also be sustainable. Most climate policy efforts focus on the state and international level, however national governments won’t be able to meet their international commitments without local action. In Portugal, the Public Lighting is responsible for 3% of energy consumption. The problem is that the trend is to increase (about 4-5% per year) which represents very high costs for the municipal authorities. In terms of numbers are analyzed in this thesis 45 of 278 existent in Continental Portugal what represents only 16,2 % of the counties. This where the local authorities in Portugal that had a Sustainable Energy Action Plan (SEAP) that had been accepted and made available in the Covenant of Mayors website until the end of year 2013. It is important that the Covenant of Mayors will increase the local authorities awareness for energy efficiency and especially to public lighting because there is still a long way to go in terms of energy consumption reduction. In future works it would be interesting to see the payback of the EolGreen post in a real scenario due to lack of energy consumption from the grid it would allow to have a pretty high initial investment even with the maintenance that those technologies need. |

A iluminação pode ser usada para aumentar a segurança e protecção enquanto melhora a aparência estética da sua envolvente mas com a atual crise financeira mundial os sistemas de iluminação tem de ser sustentáveis também. A maioria dos esforços para a politica climática focam-se a nivel dos países e a nível internacional, no entanto os governos não serão capazes de cumprir os seus compromissos internacionais sem acção local. Em Portugal, a iluminação pública é responsável por 3% do consumo de energia. O problema é que a tendência é para aumentar (cerca de 4-5% ao ano), o que representa custos muito elevados para os municipios. Em termos de números são analisados nesta tese 45 de 278 existentes em Portugal Continental o que representa apenas 16,2% dos municípios. Este são os que os municipios em Portugal que tinham um Plano de Acção de Energia Sustentável (PAES), que tinha sido aceite e disponibilizado no site do Pacto de Autarcas, até o final do ano de 2013. É importante que o Pacto de Autarcas aumente a consciência das autoridades locais para a eficiência energética e, especialmente, a iluminação pública, porque ainda há um longo caminho a percorrer em termos de redução do consumo de energia. Em trabalhos futuros, seria interessante ver o retorno do poste de iluminação EolGreen em um cenário real, devido ao não consumo de energia da rede permitiria ter um investimento inicial bastante elevado, mesmo com a manutenção que essas tecnologias necessitam.Universidade de Aveiro2016-06-23T15:39:20Z2015-01-01T00:00:00Z2015info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10773/15821TID:201591669engOliveira, Ruben Filipe Madeira deinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2024-02-22T11:29:21Zoai:ria.ua.pt:10773/15821Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-20T02:51:06.705802Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
