Sustentabilidade em edifícios inteligentes: um estudo de caso em edifício multifamiliar em São Luís

Abstract

The buildings have a great impact on the environment. They are responsible for the consumption of up to 50% of the energy in use on the planet and, in similar proportions, for the consumption of raw material and water. The purpose of this work is to understand how the design of architecture can influence the reduction of impacts on buildings and environmental sustainability. For that, a project was developed at the preliminary study level of a multi-family building with sustainable bases for the city of São Luís, Maranhão, in the Renascença II neighborhood. The project was developed based on the texts of authors such as Sabatella and Edwards and with the principles of the environmental certification system Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED). After the development of the project, an analysis of the projected building was made using IES VE Software, from the American company Environmental Solution, to collect statistical data on the efficiency of the projected elements, when possible. The result obtained has micro scale (such as internal comfort and energy consumption) and macro scale (such as urban mobility and microclimate impacts). This work concludes that the breakaway from paradigms in conventional practices in architecture makes it possible to create a built environment with greater environmental comfort and energy efficiency, which provides a better quality of life for users, and is expected to be a starting point for new researches.
