ABSTRACT: The search for ways to measure the level of sustainability of buildings is increasing. We note the relevance of the application of methodologies that drive the act of designing more sustainable to improve the quality of the built environment in order to minimize their impact. Thus, this study aimed to verify certification systems and its better adaptation to […]

ABSTRACT: The ISO 14001 is an international standard, worldwide recognized, whose management of their environmental issues, thus contributing to sustainability, by preventing pollution and by meeting legal requirements. This article aims to discuss sustainability and the application of this standard within the construction sector in Brazil and its impacts upon construction companies. The methodology consists of the study of the […]
Critical overview of urban sustainability assessment tools
ABSTRACT: Sustainability assessment has been promoted by several institutions and organizations in order to encourage sustainable practices in the building sector. The scope of the first assessment tools was on buildings and building solutions. Research within this field of knowledge is already well established. But very recently, there has been a progressive development of tools aiming at broader scales […]
The trivialization of the sustainability in the civil construction
ABSTRACT: This paper aims to develop a theoretical reflection about the trivialization of the sustainability concept, putting together conceptual interfaces and real cases of contemporary buildings that has improper application of the sustainability concept. The case study was based on the comparison between contemporary buildings certified by LEED and modernist buildings of the 50s, which were more efficient in […]
The ASUS tool as a conceptual basis for proposing the inclusion of the sustainability concept in the formation of the Architect and Urbanist
ABSTRACT: The term sustainability is widely used in the construction industry as the subject of research, seminars and conferences. The discussion ranges from materials and techniques for construction to the use of the edification, allowing the identification of various application possibilities within the architecture field. The evaluation tools and certifications of buildings support achieving sustainable practices in the sector, […]

The use of BIM for the sustainable design
ABSTRACT: The construction industry is a great generator of environmental impacts by excessive consumption of raw materials, high energy consumption and amount of waste generated. In this context, there is an effort to mitigate these negative impacts, seeking better alternatives to create more sustainable buildings. Through the literature review methodology, this study aims to explore the use of BIM […]
Electronic waste as coating for construction industry
ABSTRACT: Electronic waste is a growing problem, as the production increases, also the waste grows. The e-waste is composed of hazardous materials and metals, as copper, iron, gold, aluminum, lead and others. A component that is massively present on electronic waste is the Printed Circuit Board (PCB), which is fundamental for any electronic device. Despite the danger that electronic […]
