Proposta de aprimoramento da metodologia SBTool aplicada a projetos de centros de distribuição

Abstract

The civil construction sector, which is strategic due to the job creation and a direct influence on a country's revenues, also perform a large part in the process of degrading the environment, whether by new constructions or maintaining and using the built parcel. In this sense, the actions that aim at the efficiency of the building in the project stage, can be configured as one of the main elements to reach the objectives of improvements in the sector. In the corporate environment, logistics is a fundamental activity to strategically manage the material flow and related information to the consumer, while a Distribution Center is a structure responsible for unifying a supply chain. In this context, where the built environment assessment tools are important for the development of sustainable projects and, due to the lack of an ideal structure for applications in all cases, especially when considering the local reality, the objective of this research is to present a proposal for a sustainability assessment tool applied to Distribution Center projects, using the methodology of the SBTool. A research methodology, in addition to the bibliographic review, it was structured based on the following steps: selection of categories, criteria and indicators of the selected assessment tools, benchmarks and user's view; improvement from the perspective of specialist academics; application of the methodology for weightning the criteria and applicability test with evaluation of a Distribution Center of a company participating in the questionnaires; and evaluation of results. The analyzes results pointed 66 criteria and indicators and emphasis in themes such as Energy Consumption, Emissions of Substances to Ozone Depletion, Maximization Efficiency of Land Use, Reduction of Commuting Transport and Reduction in the Water Consumption and Gray Water Usage.
