Certificação LEED O+M em condomínio residencial de Londrina

Abstract

The objective of this work was to evaluate the application of LEED certification in a residential condominium, aiming to understand the adequacy of this system to the actual conditions of the development. To achieve this, the methodology involved filling out all the topics present in the LEED manual, using the checklist provided by the certification to assess the condominium's performance. The results obtained were significantly lower than expected, causing considerable frustration. This low score highlighted the limitations of the development in terms of sustainability, revealing that Brazilian civil construction, especially in residential condominiums, is still far from the desirable levels of sustainable practices. It was concluded that, despite the potential of LEED certification, there is an urgent need to adapt its criteria to the Brazilian reality so that they can be more effectively applied and have a positive impact on the country's civil construction sector.
