Avaliação da sustentabilidade de habitações de interesse social a partir da especificação de materiais e elementos de edificação

Objective of the Study : The present paper aims to continue the development and application of the MASP-HIS tool for the sustainability analysis of social housing (SH) projects, which was applied to certain elements of this type of building. Methodology/Approach : The criteria developed for this assessment are based on environmental, sociocultural and economic aspects. Thereby, it is possible to individually evaluate the complete project and the elements specifications of a building. A case study was evaluated. Originality/Relevance : The work presents a versatile and adaptable tool to different SH projects. It has the potential to systematically assess different aspects of sustainability (environmental, sociocultural and economic). It considers the diversity of materials and construction elements used in the project. Main Results : Different combinations of the specified materials, components and elements can be analyzed. Structural, roofing and frame elements were developed. Theoretical/Methodological Contributions : The use of the tool can subsidize and facilitate the specification of SH projects attending sustainability criteria. Conclusion : Ultimately, it was possible to obtain a global sustainability index for different combinations of an SH project.
