Sustentabilidade no canteiro de obras: estudo de caso de um empreendimento em wood frame na cidade de Maringá-PR

Abstract

Faced with a scenario in which there is an increasing awareness of current and future generations of the finite nature of the natural resources available on the planet, and the need to rethink consumption habits in all areas, this concern is also present in the civil construction sector, remembered for the relevant environmental impact that historically causes to the environment, society demands attitudes aimed at minimizing these. Sustainability has become a goal of companies and civil construction professionals, who seek to use less polluting construction methods, which generate less waste, handling practices and use of materials that are more efficient, carry out constructions that provide greater thermal, acoustic and luminous for its users, and among other characteristics that directly influence the lives of people living in the building or in its surroundings. In this context, this study aimed to evaluate the level of sustainability of a construction site in a wood frame development in the city of Maringá, Paraná. The methodology used is characterized by the application of a checklist that includes, sustainable construction site, rational use of water, rational use of energy, materials and resources, environmental quality and innovation processes, developed by Zeule (2014). The project evaluated had several positive highlights, including waste management, the use and reuse of certified wood, acoustic and olfactory comfort and the use of managerial and technological innovations. In the final average of the work, the construction site reached 60 percent of utilization, thus obtaining the classification of good level of sustainable practices.
