Análise de interesse dos engenheiros civis e arquitetos acerca de soluções para aplicação das técnicas de construção sustentável

Abstract

This present study investigates the knowledge and interest of civil engineers and architects engaged in the construction industry, specifically focused on the topic of sustainable construction, encompassing both the project development phase and its execution. The scope of this research is confined to the city of Maringá, Brazil. This work proposes a comprehensive literature review concerning concepts related to sustainable constructions, aiming to address the most prevalent subjects, primarily categorizing them into design methods and solutions that enhance the efficiency of building systems.Based on the literature review, a questionnaire was formulated to comprehend the relationship of civil engineers and architects in the city with the theme of sustainable constructions. A quantitative data analysis was conducted utilizing the responses obtained from the application of this questionnaire. Through this analysis, it was concluded that the majority of professionals express interest in the subject but do not incorporate it into their professional practice. A few professionals exhibit disinterest in the techniques that characterize a construction as sustainable, with these individuals predominantly being the younger members of the surveyed sample. Conversely, the majority of professionals asserted that they have made or are currently making isolated alterations in projects to enhance their efficiency, aligning them with the concept of sustainable construction.
