Estudo comparativo entre certificações ambientais para edificações com foco na fator verde

Abstract

In the last few decades, environmental problems have become increasingly apparent, as natural reserves are gradually becoming extinct, and negative environmental effects, such as global warming, are increasingly worse. In this sense, certifications were created that enable the use of natural resources in a more conscious way such as: Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED), High Environmental Quality (AQUA) and Green Factor. Considering this growing concern with the environment, this work aims to evaluate the effects of sustainability certificates on buildings and society, as well as evaluate legislative projects that aim to fulfill the same role as certificates. The work methodology was bundled in existing research and articles, so that such certifications LEED, AQUA and Green Factor could be compared and compared among them, emphasizing a Green Factor, because it is a certification elaborated by the Municipal Department of Urbanism. and Environment (SEUMA) of Fortaleza / CE. In this way, the present program will be better visualized for a Green Factor certification, while the best indicators are the best and most recent, aiming to propose proportions, so that it is subject to compete with certifications of greater support. Thus, with the process of going through a process of adaptation to incorporate municipal legislation, since the data are favorable to banks, social and environmental. Keywords: LEED; AQUA; Green Factor; Sustainability.
