O SBTool como base conceitual para retrofit de edifícios multifamiliares
ABSTRACT: Diante da crise energética e da constatação de que a indústria da construção civil é uma das principais consumidoras de recursos naturais e grande geradora de resíduos, intensificou-se a busca por práticas mais sustentáveis nesse setor. As técnicas de reaproveitamento das edificações existentes como o retrofit , são um caminho para a valorização e modernização dos edifícios construídos. […]
Development of a retrofitting tool for classrooms
ABSTRACT: Several investigations have led to understand how architecture and the environmental surrounding such as natural lighting, thermal performance, and air quality influence on learning processes and are the key to provide comfort for the students. The purpose of this research is to study the application of different energy retrofitting strategies in classrooms of the city of Concepción, Chile. […]
Assessing sustainable urban densification using geographic information systems
ABSTRACT: Facing the expansive growth of cities and the wasteful consumption of resources, cities must be measured in its immense complexity, and its parts and layers must be observed so as to assess its ability to support such pressures. Cities should look at themselves and define how far away they are from a sustainable model, which means a greater […]
New tools for sustainable urban land regularization in permanent preservation areas: The 11.977/09 Brazilian Law Implementation
ABSTRACT: The right to housing is intrinsically related to urban-environmental conflicts as a result of the process of social and spatial exclusion characteristic of the economic system in force , causing a significant portion of the low income population to be neglected and left on the margins of human rights, particularly when it comes to the right to housing, […]
Sustainable retrofit based on BIM
ABSTRACT: The construction industry is responsible for a significant amount of environmental impacts, which mostly are due from the phases of use and maintenance. Rehabilitation of buildings in Brazil is an opportunity of solution for the large number of buildings that have obsolete structures and/or outdated equipment. In this context, BIM allows you to analyze various dimensions of the […]
Classroom practice about health unit assembly (bathroom) from recycled plastic
ABSTRACT: The bass interest of high school students in engineering courses is growing in Brazil. Moreover, a survey carried out at the Polytechnic School of the Universidad de São Paulo (USP) with students from the Civil Engineering course, about evasion in that course showed that students feel that there is excess basic subjects and less focused on practice they […]
Cenário da reciclagem e reuso de resíduos da construção e demolição em Natal, RN – Brasil
ABSTRACT: Construction Industry is responsible for 50% of natural resources consumption, thus adopting sustainable practices regarding use and adequate disposal of civil construction and demolition wastes (CDW) are of utmost importance. Recycling and reuse of CDW has been consolidated as an important sustainable practice and has great potential to diminish environmental impact generated by civil industry as well as […]
Ensino da concepção arquitetônica bioclimática com auxílio de maquetes físicas e heliodon
RESUMO: A incorporação de estratégias bioclimáticas no projeto arquitetônico determina o conforto dos usuários e o desempenho das edificações, levando a redução do consumo energético. Entretanto, algumas escolas de arquitetura ainda priorizam o ensino compartimentado e não estimulam suficientemente as experiências didáticas multidisciplinares, levando o aluno a dissociar a teoria da prática arquitetônica, o que gera conflitos entre o projeto […]
Aplicação de novas metodologias no curso de engenharia civil da UFES
ABSTRACT: Devido ao reconhecimento e aceitação da tecnologia Building Information Modeling BIM, os profissionais atualmente enfrentam uma nova transição: do CAD para o BIM, como aconteceu a 30 anos, da prancheta para o CAD. As Universidades são essenciais neste processo. Se os princípios teóricos e práticos do BIM estiverem incluídos nas matrizes curriculares poderá ser satisfeita a demanda por […]
