Environmental certificates. Sustainability. Natural resources.Abstract
Given the growing concern about the depletion of the planet's renewable and nonrenewable resources and awareness of environmental issues, it became necessary to study alternative ways of developing one of the fastest growing sectors in the world, . Thus, with the objective of economic growth, together with environmental preservation, the gradual insertion of buildings called Green Buildings, which aim at sustainable energy, water and natural use, offered a new reality for the construction sector. This paper aims to present the LEED (Lidership in Energy and Environmental Design) Certification which not only evaluates the performance of new projects, but also encourages the use of more sustainable practices and less impact to the environment, promoting the implementation of innovative projects of the point of technology, as well as the valuation of certified enterprises. In order to assess whether a construction is sustainable or not, environmental certifications have emerged, which through scoring systems or concepts allow a qualitative evaluation of the sustainable performance of a building. The present study noted the importance of the LEED certificate, in a broad understanding from the perspective of sustainable constructions.
