The stability of the economy, experienced in recent decades, combined with better income distribution provides an increase in electricity consumption in buildings, perceivable in Brazil and other countries. This fact led to the create new ways that encourage energy conservation, the seal PROCEL BUILDS and its manual and its Regulation are a result of this. The application of the seal on Bloco 3P, the Federal University of Tocantins (UFT) in Palmas, was based on Regulation Quality Technical buildings Efficiency Level Commercial, Public Service (RTQ-C) and the Zoning Standard Brazil. The metod takes into account the temperature, radiation, humidity and air movement, as variables directly related to thermal comfort. Analysis of the building was done using the prescriptive method, which evaluated the air conditioning system, the lighting system and envelope and by computer simulation in which they receive a rating of A (more efficient) to E (least efficient). The building received final grade A, the simulation method and B by the prescriptive method. Thus you can see certain incompatibility between the methods suggested by RTQ-C, due to limitations of prescriptive model.
