Abstract:
|
Civil construction is the human activity with the greatest impact on the environment, and is of
fundamental importance in consolidating the goals for sustainable development in the country.
Although the greatest impacts on building sustainability occur during use and maintenance, it is no
building design that has the greatest potential to interfere with performance over its useful life. In this
way, the objective of this article is to understand through which the control of sustainability can be
inserted in the design processes of new building projects and intervention in Brazilian pre-existing
buildings. Therefore, a literature review was adopted as the research methodology. As a result, it was
identified that sustainable design can follow bioclimatic strategies, computational simulations to understand the performance of buildings in different contemplative scenarios; the assumptions of
certifications and seals; and the sensitivity of the designer to include social issues in the process. |
