Abstract
The main objective of this work is to evaluate the potential of using the free Energy 3D software for undergraduate students of Engineering courses in courses involving solar energy and energy efficiency. Then, a specific case study on photovoltaic generation and energy efficiency was selected involving a hypothetical single-family residential building in the city of Porto Alegre, Brazil. Contrary to the usual, cases were simulated in which the PV modules were installed on the façade. The results of the simulations are presented, discussed, and then evaluated in terms of the potential to use specific courses as a didactic support tool. This potential for use takes into account the outputs of the software, how much information can be extracted from it, the relevance and quality of graphics and data that can be exported. It is expected to demonstrate the potential of the software through its use and the analysis of the results obtained, in order to encourage its use in different stages of an Engineering course.
