Aplicação de conceito de economia de baixo carbono em projetos de construção civil: breve resgate sobre alguns métodos existentes.

Abstract

The construction industry is also responsible for the emission of greenhouse gases (GHG), contributing to climate change. In this context, this work presents tools for the implementation of low carbon constructions, that is, the sector can improve its production processes in order to reduce the energy impact, reduce the elimination of GHGs in the environment and give impetus to sustainability. These tools include the Carbon Emissions Inventory, the LEED Certification, the Casa Azul label, the AQUA seal, the seal Procel Edifica and the methodologies of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), in others. The application of these valuable tools contribute to the environment, but also, promote improvements in the management of the entire construction process.
