Impactos da aplicação da ABNT NBR 15.575/2013 nas empresas de edificações

Abstract

Over the years the lack of performance in the brazilian buildings has been problematic in the construction sector. The problems related to the performance of the buildings fostered the search for better construction parameters, as well as better postures capable of configuring quality and performance for the products coming from the sector. Against this background, in 2008 ABNT NBR 15,.575 - Performance - Housing Buildings was created, whose objective was to promote a systemic view of buildings with a focus on users' needs. In the context of sustainability, the Performance Standard has three requirements: durability, maintainability and environmental impacts. Maintenance management consists of a preponderant factor in the configuration of performance in steps that encompass a building, being able to meet or even extend its useful life as well as its systems. This work aims to verify the impacts of the application of the Performance Standard on brazilian building companies, as well as to verify the way in which the companies carry out the actions related to the maintenance of the projects. For this, the methodology consisted of a bibliographic review followed by the accomplishment of case studies with four building companies. As a result, we have the local scenario regarding compliance with the Performance Standard as well as the maintenance requirements from the design stage.
