Viability study for a sustainable energy policy in informal settlements: The case of Santa Marta favela

Viability study for a sustainable energy policy in informal settlements: The case of Santa Marta favela

Verniz, Debora ; Santos, Deborah ;

Full Article:

Architects and urban planners are often challenged by design problems that include public policies for social development. While the use of sustainable energy has been growing, the costs with installation are still a problem to underprivileged communities such as informal settlements. In this sense, energy justice is a relatively new concept. This paper is part of a larger research that aims to propose a framework for a sustainable energy policy. In this paper we use a case study to estimate the capacity for solar energy production. Research steps include data collection, modeling, simulation, and analysis. Results show that the case study has the capacity to produce several times more energy than it consumes, with potential of selling the overproduction to generate benefits to the community. Future research includes a more detailed simulation of the case study’s potential using machine learning techniques.
