Arquitetura residencial multifamiliar baseada em conceitos sustentáveis : ensaio projetual à luz dos quesitos da metodologia LEED

Abstract

Most residential buildings do not take into consideration environmental issues. It have been decided to study the issue and make a project test, that means, a original project in preliminary stage, of a residential condominium in Serra, Espirito Santo, with sustainable features considering the nature, the local climate, social, cultural, and economic aspects. To prepare the test were considered environmental strategies based on LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) for new buildings. This essay serves as a starting point for further research to achieve an architecture that considers the climate and the Brazilian cultural, social and economic necessities, taking advantage of the existing natural wealth in order to meet the huge housing demand quantitatively and qualitatively.
