Abstract(s)
O consumo desenfreado de recursos ambientais, a incessante poluição do meio ambiente e a degradação dos ecossistemas ultrapassaram a capacidade regenerativa do planeta Terra, tornando a situação atual de consumo insustentável. Uma mudança no comportamento da humanidade é necessária e adoção de medidas sustentáveis na construção civil é promissora. Soluções sustentáveis incentivam o consumo consciente de recursos, poupando-os sempre que possível e tornando processos menos degradantes. Elas aprimoram a construção em questões ambientais, sociais e econômicas. No entanto, apresentam o desafio de variarem de acordo com as condições climáticas da região, fator importante em um país com dimensões continentais como o Brasil. Este trabalho baseou-se em um levantamento das zonas climáticas brasileiras e suas principais características; seguido de uma análise dos principais sistemas de avaliação da sustentabilidade existentes no mundo e das medidas propostas pelos mesmos. A partir disto, foi proposto um conjunto de diretrizes que podem ser utilizadas para tornar uma construção no Brasil mais sustentável. Foram feitas recomendações que podem ser seguidas em todo o território brasileiro e recomendações restritas a determinada zona climática. Incluem-se entre estas medidas soluções passivas para condicionamento térmico, utilização eficiente do solo, escolha da localização do terreno, melhora no desempenho energético e hídrico da construção, incentivo a reciclagem e reutilização de materiais, entre outras.
Rampant consumption of environmental resources, unrelenting pollution of the environment, and degradation of ecosystems have surpassed the regenerative capacity of planet Earth, making the current situation of consumption unsustainable. A change in the behavior of mankind is necessary and the adoption of sustainable measures in civil construction is promising. Sustainable solutions encourage the conscious consumption of resources, saving them whenever possible and making processes less degrading. They enhance construction on environmental, social, and economic issues. However, they present the challenge of varying according to the climatic conditions of the region, an important factor in a country with continental dimensions such as Brazil. This work was based on a survey of Brazilian climatic zones and their main characteristics; followed by an analysis of the main sustainability assessment systems in the world and the measures proposed by them. From this, it was proposed a set of guidelines that can be used to make a construction in Brazil more sustainable. Recommendations that can be followed throughout the Brazilian territory and recommendations restricted to a certain climatic zone were made. Included among these measures are passive solutions for thermal conditioning, efficient soil use, land location selection, improved energy and water performance of the building, incentive to recycle and reuse materials, among others.
