Aplicabilidade de práticas sustentáveis a edificações de estabelecimentos assistenciais à saúde

Abstract

The architecture focused on health care facilities and hospitals has one of the most complex architectural and procedural programs, where restrictions imposed by regulations, flows and processes make it difficult to plan, construct, occupy and maintain during the life cycle of the building. In this scenario, a sustainable architectural design for hospital buildings from the initial phases of design and implementation can contribute to the correct functioning of their processes, as well as to meet economic needs and minimize the damages generated by the establishment to the environment. As impact generators, establishments focused on health services have the duty and potential to promote sustainability, where, due to their complexity, a methodology for elaborating their infrastructure becomes necessary in order to satisfy criteria of flexibility, technology, rationality, humanization and sustainability. Thus, this research aims to identify the possibility of applying sustainable practices based on criteria of certifications in buildings of health care establishments. This research is characterized as methodological and referenced through case studies. Thus, this work began through bibliographic research and was followed through documentary analysis for data collection. Subsequently were carried out the analysis, classification and interpretation of the information obtained for later compilation and comparative and qualitative analysis.
