Sustentabilidade na construção civil: análise da viabilidade de aplicação do selo de certificação Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design BD+C em uma edificação na cidade de Campo Mourão, Paraná

Abstract

Environmental sustainability is fundamental to ensuring a viable future for the planet. In civil construction, the environmental impact is significant, as it is responsible for the consumption of large amounts of natural resources and the generation of waste. It is necessary to seek solutions that make this industry less polluting, promoting sustainable development in civil construction. Practices such as the use of green materials, energy efficiency, and waste management are essential in this process. Environmental certifications are a way of recognizing and encouraging these practices in civil construction. The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) of the United States Green Building Council (USGBC) is one of the main certifications, recognized worldwide for promoting sustainability in civil construction. In this context, the present work aims to evaluate the LEED BD+C certification potential of a commercial building in Campo Mourão - PR. For this, the reference guide and checklist available on the USGBC website were used, verifying the requirements for certification with the support of the enterprise's architectural, hydraulic, and electrical projects and in-situ visits. Through these analyses, it was verified that the enterprise has a high score (28 points) since it was not designed to be certified. Despite this, it did not reach the minimum score (40 points) and all the necessary prerequisites for LEED certification.
