SUSTENTABILIDADE NA CONSTRUÇÃO DO INSTITUTO BALEIA JUBARTE: TÉCNICAS DE BIOCONSTRUÇÃO

Abstract

The Bioconstruction was the chosen alternative to develop ‘Baleia Jubarte Institute’ project, guaranteeing a sustainable construction in balance with the environment. The constructive techniques of bioconstruction generate energy reduction, transportation, environmental impact and costs. The work aims to present the constructive techniques used, incorporating traditional methods allied to innovative methods in a rational way. The Bioconstruction is able to ensure quality standards for built ecosystems, meeting the demands of human activities with reduced environmental impacts. The survey of the sustainable measures employed in the project implies the adoption of new conscious consumption principles and consumption patterns. With a methodology carried out using the qualitative method, the sustainable actions applied through bioconstruction as a guiding the mechanism are presented. The construction is a milestone that demonstrates the possibility of allying sustainable techniques and obtains satisfactory results of energy efficiency, thermal and acoustic insulation, resistance, quality, durability, sustainability and pleasant aesthetic effect.
