Sustentabilidade ambiental em residência unifamiliar já construída: Estudo de caso para sugestões de mecanismos sustentáveis e descrição dos já implantados em uma residência unifamiliar na cidade de Barra do Garças - MT

Abstract

The neglect of humanity with the environment is a major problem for future generations. Problems seen for some time, such as global warming, served as a warning for society to start looking for ways to contain man-made environmental degradation and to start helping nature, so the term sustainable development came up through a thought of how development would continue without harming the environment. Sustainable development is necessary in all areas of activity, including construction, so the union of environmental sustainability with construction is in each phase of the work, starting in the project, going through the execution phase and also after finalized. Given this whole concept, there is sustainable construction that through sustainable methods provides a way to alleviate the negative impact of construction on the ecosystem. In view of the arguments cited, this monograph aims to present some mechanisms of environmental sustainability for homes already built, where residents mainly use drinking water beyond the necessary and unsustainable means, such as conventional electricity, too much, harming daily the environment. With the installation of sustainable mechanisms in the building, it is possible to save drinking water and reduce electricity consumption.
