Abstract(s)
A indústria da construção é um dos setores que mais matérias-primas consome, provocando grandes impactes ambientais. A adoção de materiais que promovem a sustentabilidade, e com baixa energia incorporada, contribuem para a diminuição dos impactes ambientais. No âmbito do tema em questão, foi desenvolvido na empresa LF Infinitech, um caso de estudo de um edifício onde se substituiu os materiais de construção utilizados por materiais mais sustentáveis, analisando as vantagens e desvantagens tanto ambientais, como sociais e económicas dos mesmos. Na sua análise, tentou-se obter uma melhor compreensão das mais valias que os materiais sustentáveis podem revelar em relação a outros materiais do setor da construção e o seu impacte no meio ambiente. Esta análise vai mostrar que é possível encontrar e adotar materiais que melhorem a sustentabilidade dos edifícios, permitindo a redução do consumo de matérias – primas no setor da construção.
The construction industry is one of the sectors that consumes the most raw materials, causing major environmental impacts. The adoption of materials that promote sustainability, and with low embodied energy, contributes to the reduction of environmental impacts. In the scope of the subject in question, a case study was developed in the company LF Infinitech, of a building where the construction materials used were replaced by more sustainable materials, analysing their environmental, social and economic advantages and disadvantages. In its analysis, we tried to obtain a better understanding of the added value that sustainable materials can reveal compared to other materials in the construction sector and their impact on the environment. This analysis will show that it is possible to find and adopt materials that improve the sustainability of buildings, allowing the reduction of the consumption of raw materials in the construction sector.
