O Reconhecimento Das Certificações Ambientais No Setor Da Construção Civil

Abstract

The adoption of sustainable practices has become increasingly common in the professional field. In order to avoid wasting materials and using products that cause less environmental impact, the construction industry seeks to put sustainability into practice. Environmental certifications play a key role in this sector as a way to ensure that such practices are performed correctly. In this context, the objective of the article was to conduct a study on the role of environmental certifications in the civil construction sector, taking into account the way they are disclosed and applied. Although the professionals of the area are aware of the possibility of a building receiving a certain certification, it was verified that the information regarding the concept and the process to obtain an environmental certification are scarce.
