ARQUITETURA SUSTENTÁVEL: adaptação de uma residência conforme os parâmetros da sustentabilidade

Abstract

Sustainability is a current theme in people's daily lives. It means "to be able to sustain". If people do not take care of your home, which is your first world, what will be on the planet? Thus, this work has the objective of adapting a single family dwelling already built according to sustainability parameters and highlight the importance of the architect in the search for alternatives capable of meeting these criteria. The lower the family income, the more she needs to adjust to increase her savings in the top expenses of her household. It was selected a house in a popular neighborhood of Varginha, MG, and through a research done with its residents were detected their needs and possibilities of suitability for better comfort in their interior. Bibliographical research, documentaries and study of two internationally awarded sustainable projects were also carried out. One of the factors that weigh on the family budget is the consumption of water and, for this, suggestions were made for saving the reuse of the water from the shower and from the bathroom sink, the washing machine, the installation of aerators on the taps and records beyond rainwater harvesting for irrigation, floor cleaning and even laundry. The solutions presented were the use of the system of transformation of solar energy and electric energy through photovoltaic panels, the use of LED lamps, presence sensors, plus a window in the kitchen to facilitate ventilation and illumination and use of equipment with PROCEL seal.
