“…Different analyses are used to outline the type of measure to carry out, such as the comparative cost-optimal methodology, proposed directly by the European Directive 2010/31/EU [2,3] and combined very often with the calculation of the payback period and the CO2 emissions released into the atmosphere [4]. This was performed with the comparison through simulation in a dynamic regime between the existing state and the design state with a proposal of upgrading according to nZEB standards, considering the interventions in terms of cost [5] and performing monitoring on the existing building to validate the simulation models [6] or through the life cycle assessment (LCA) or the application of certification protocols [7,8]. Finally, many authors point out that, in order to significantly reduce primary energy demand, it is necessary to work on the artificial lighting system and on the management of shading systems [9][10][11].…”

In 2017, 46.5% of school buildings in Italy needed urgent maintenance regarding architectural usability and accessibility, but also concerning structural, energy, and environmental aspects. A total of 36% of the energy needs during the operational and management phase of the Italian school sector are required by secondary schools. The main objective of this paper is to propose an integrated (architectural, energy, and environmental) redevelopment for the “Raffaello” School in Pistoia (Italy), aimed at improving the environmental and technological system and decreasing the building’s primary energy demand. Here, for the sake of brevity, we will only deal explicitly with energy rehabilitation. The results show that the replacement of the artificial lighting system with LED lamps alone leads to a 45% decrease in primary energy demand.

“…In civil construction, the term sustainable (or green) construction emerged to meet the demands of sustainability, being used by several authors as referring to efficient structures in terms of the use of resources (energy, water, and materials), but which require additional capital for their construction (ELKHAPERY et al, 2021).…”

“…While sustainable construction is more efficient in the long term than conventional construction, clients may avoid proposals that require additional capital, particularly when the alternative project may have variable costs and benefits that are difficult to measure, as in the case of improved health and productivity (ELKHAPERY et al, 2021). However, it is observed that sustainable construction initiatives lead to the effective implementation of economic investments, providing sustainable economic growth and the efficient use of resources (energy, water, and materials) (DURDYEV et al, 2018).…”

O início da preocupação com sustentabilidade na construção, por meio do conceito do Triple bottom line (TBL), surgiu na década de 90, cunhada por Elkington. Este movimento teve por finalidade proporcionar um equilíbrio entre as dimensões econômica, social e ambiental. Para consolidação do assunto, é importante identificar os conceitos relacionados à sustentabilidade que estão sendo utilizados no contexto na construção sustentável. O presente artigo realizou uma revisão sistêmica sobre o conceito de TBL aplicado à construção sustentável, no período de 2010 a 2021, nas seguintes bases de dados: Scielo, Scopus e Science direct. Foram encontrados, inicialmente 739 artigos, após filtragem 169 e após leitura dos resumos e retirada dos duplicados, restaram 33 artigos, que foram analisados, para dar suporte a revisão. Evidenciou-se o crescimento da pesquisa na área TBL para a sustentabilidade das construções nos últimos 10 anos e que foram incorporados novos conceitos, como o de economia circular, que poderão desdobrar em novos caminhos para dar suporte ao desenvolvimento sustentável. Muito dos artigos demonstraram a ausência de uma visão holística de avaliação.

“…Además, se estima que el ahorro promedio en el nivel LEED Platinum para energía es de 30% y para consumo de agua es de 27%. Por último, el estudio también concluye que las inversiones propuestas, en optimización de los sistemas de agua y conservación de la energía, podrían recuperarse en un plazo máximo de siete años [10].…”

El concepto de sostenibilidad ha tomado protagonismo en estos últimos años debido a la preocupación por el cuidado del medio ambiente. Es por ello, que surge la necesidad de hacer cambios en la forma en que construimos actualmente, para garantizar la construcción y operación de edificios sostenibles que reduzcan el impacto ambiental. Por otro lado, está demostrado que la infraestructura es un pilar del desarrollo de la educación, pues la capacidad, condición y sostenibilidad de la infraestructura impacta directamente en el aprendizaje, la seguridad y bienestar de profesores y alumnos. Bajo esta premisa, surge la necesidad de establecer criterios que garanticen una infraestructura que tenga la capacidad de brindar espacios de aprendizaje saludables y sostenibles, los cuales además de generar un impacto positivo en el medio ambiente, puedan resultar económicamente atractivos a las entidades gestoras o administrativas, por los porcentajes de ahorro en consumo energético y consumo de agua. La presente investigación se enfocó en la implementación de la certificación voluntaria para alcanzar la certificación LEED for Schools V4.1 enfocado en el uso racional de los materiales, consumo eficiente de energía y agua, para el caso de estudio Colegio Tambo Huancayo. Finalmente, mostrar los beneficios que engloba dicha certificación, desde un enfoque sostenible, económico y social. Con ello, demostrar que, con el ahorro en el consumo de agua y energía, el retorno de la inversión de la implementación es de once años.
