Sustentabilidade na engenharia civil: estudo de caso em um instituto social da cidade de São Luís

Abstract

Sustainability is linked to the future of the planet, while the growth of nations cannot be stopped. In general, companies and society were able to visualize and feel the damage that mass production without environmental responsibility brings to their daily lives. This work aims to present the concept of Sustainability within civil construction, with a focus on presenting economical and viable alternatives for implementation within the domestic environment as well. Through understanding about environmental seals, the environmental management system, sustainable actions, we sought to generate personal reflections on the preservation of the environment. Based on the analysis and understanding of environmental issues and the urgent need for awareness, this monograph worked on suggesting sustainable proposals to be adopted within a nonprofit social institute along with an estimate of costs for future implementation.
