Abstract

Society is currently increasingly concerned about the environment and construction is moving in the same direction. The idea of buildings aimed at sustainability has grown and shown to be important in both the environmental and economic scenarios. To recognize these ideas applied in civil construction, there is the international Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification that uses evaluation criteria, such as energy sufficiency, rational use of water resources, adoption of new technologies, reduction of the environmental impact of the work , use of materials and resources that do not harm the environment. This article aims to qualitatively present the LEED certification implementation process during the execution of a project, aiming to analyze the economic, execution and organization, and planning impacts. For this, a case study was carried out during the construction period of a vocational education institution located in Serra, Espírito Santo (ES), in 2019, where old and revised projects, activities and modified attitudes at the construction site were analyzed, respecting the requirements required by the certifying entity Green Building Council (GBC) Brazil. In summary, the results showed that through the implementation of LEED certification, there was a great impact on activities at the building lands and on the initial and final costs of the project, in addition to an immense reduction in environmental impact, contributing to sustainability practices and the well-being of society.
