Estratégias sustentáveis para edifícios comerciais que buscam a certificação leed no estado do ceará

Abstract

Due to the high consumption of natural resources and high rates of waste of materials, the construction industry has generated great impacts on society and the environment. To minimize these negative impacts, the concept of sustainable construction has been much discussed, giving rise to the Green Buildings. The environmental certification systems focused on buildings aim to guide and stimulate the adoption of sustainable measures in the construction industry. This work has as main objective to carry out a study on sustainable strategies that contribute to the LEED certification of commercial buildings. For this objective to be achieved, the sustainable alternatives adopted in an enterprise that already has certification were listed and analyzed. The study showed the effectiveness of these strategies from an environmental perspective, as well as contributions to the development of more comfortable workplaces.
