“…For example, Fleiter et al (2012) found that eco-efficiency is a strong predictor affecting environmental performance, whereas Ferreira et al (2010) found no such relationship. Research by Zanardo et al (2018) even reveals that environmental audits have more influence on the company's environmental performance. As no empirical results are available from Indonesia on this relationship in the context of accounting, this study can provide preliminary evidence on the importance of eco-efficiency and energy audits and corporate environmental performance (Lara et al, 2015).…”

This paper examines a conceptual framework that describes the relationship between energy eco-efficiency, energy audit and environmental performance. In this paper, the authors argue that eco-efficiency and energy audits can directly affect environmental performance. This paper examines responses to a survey of general managers in hotel companies registered with the Indonesian Central Bureau of Statistics. The time horizon of data collection is cross-sectional. The hypothesis was tested using a multiple linear regression analysis approach by interpreting the regression model through the value of the significant coefficient to see the partial effect. In general, the proposed framework obtains adequate fit statistics. Furthermore, the results support the argument that eco-efficiency and energy audits positively and significantly affect the company's environmental performance. A limitation of this study relates to the small sample size, as environmental results and energy use are still considered confidential by many hotel companies. A causal relationship could not be confirmed for the results. The instrument used was fully adopted from previous research without unidimensional retesting. This study contributes to the literature-based view of natural resource energy conservation by responding to recent calls to examine energy conservation efforts on environmental performance. These results can be a special reference for policy-making in companies to improve their environmental performance continuously. This study also has important implications for energy conservation practices by describing the potential for energy savings through eco-efficiency and energy audits to improve environmental performance. These results indicate that energy conservation with improved environmental management accounting mechanisms in Indonesia seems to require more pressure as mandated by the government.

“…Apesar disso, esse setor apresenta uma das maiores tarifas com megawatt-hora, o que prejudica sua competitividade tanto no mercado nacional como internacional. Nesse contexto, há uma crescente busca por alternativas que proporcionem a eficiência energética na indústria, visando a redução dos custos, a otimização do consumo, a diminuição dos impactos ambientais e consequentemente o aumento da competitividade (Sola e Mota, 2015;Viana, 2019;Zanardo et al, 2018).…”

“…Silva et al (2018),Silva et al (2019) eZanardo et al (2018) sugeriram modelos, combinando uma ou mais metodologias para diagnóstico do nível de eficiência energética e elaboração de cenários de consumos. O método Bottom-up foi aplicado nos trabalhos de Silva et al(2018) e Silva et al (2019), a fim de prever o consumo de eletricidade a longo prazo de um setor industrial específico (celulose e papel), considerando cenários de eficiência energética.…”

A crescente demanda por eletricidade vem estimulando estudos e ações não somente para o aumento da capacidade de geração de usinas, mas também o uso racional dessa importante forma de energia. Com isso, é notório o crescimento no número de publicações relacionadas ao tema, gerando assim um número demasiado de trabalhos, o que torna a filtragem e análise complexa. Nesse contexto, a revisão bibliográfica é uma importante ferramenta para verificação quantitativa e qualitativa dos estudos publicados nos diversos periódicos. Diante do exposto, o presente artigo tem como objetivo realizar uma análise bibliométrica da produção científica brasileira sobre a eficiência energética aplicada ao consumo de eletricidade. A base de dados Scopus foi utilizada para a busca dos artigos relacionados ao tema. Foram encontrados um total de 66 trabalhos no período de 2004 a 2020, no entanto, após uma leitura dinâmica verificou-se que apenas 37 desses discorrem efetivamente sobre a eficiência energética atrelada ao consumo de eletricidade. Desses, 83,8% correspondem a trabalhos de estudo de caso, 10,8% as políticas públicas e 5,4% foram estudos de revisão bibliográfica. A análise permitiu constatar que grande parte dos artigos de estudo de caso foram aplicados ao setor industrial (45,2%), especialmente aos sistemas motrizes. Além disso, observou-se que mesmo o setor residencial sendo um dos principais consumidores de energia, há um número de publicações pouco expressivo, indicando assim uma lacuna a ser preenchida.

“…Further, studies have discussed energy efficiency standards for electric motors in industry (e.g., Europe [23], Brazil [30], Malaysia [31]), as well as compared different countries in terms of technology, regulatory and trend aspects regarding motor systems [32], [33]. Studies have conducted energy-driven technological assessments of higher efficiency electric motors and related cost-effectiveness [34], [35] (also considering their transmissions, e.g., belts [36]), but also more detailed analyses over cost-effectiveness of selected EEMs in EMS. For instance, research [37] has discussed about induction motor oversizing, simulating the behaviour of different IEclass motors and showing that, for most IE-3 and IE-4 class ones, oversizing does not represent a costeffective option.…”
