Arquitetura hospitalar: projetos ambientalmente sustentáveis, conforto e qualidade. Proposta de um instrumento de avaliação / Hospitals architecture: projects sustainable, comfort and quality; proposal of an evaluation instrument.

Sampaio, Ana Virginia Carvalhaes de Faria 02 February 2006 (has links)
A partir da análise dos conceitos de sustentabilidade, de arquitetura hospitalar, de conforto e qualidade, é constatada a importância da preocupação que projetos hospitalares devam ter, desde o início, com os recursos naturais e a sua adequação ao meio ambiente. Através de uma Avaliação Pós-Ocupação do Hospital Universitário de Londrina é verificado que os principais problemas detectados pelos usuários - problemas esses responsáveis pela sua insatisfação na avaliação dos ambientes - são aqueles que estão diretamente relacionados ao projeto e a sua inadequação ao local. É proposto um instrumento de avaliação, um guia que pode ser utilizado por arquitetos durante a elaboração de projetos hospitalares, na avaliação de projetos prontos e de edifícios construídos e em uso, capaz de verificar o comprometimento do projeto sob os aspectos ambientais, de conforto e qualidade, funcionais, construtivos e estéticos. / Starting from the analysis of the sustainability concepts, of hospitals’ architecture, of comfort and quality, it is verified the importance of the concern that hospitals’ projects should have, since the beginning, with the natural resources and its adaptation to the environment. Through a Post Occupancy Evaluation of the Hospital Universitário de Londrina it is verified that the main problems detected by the users - problems responsible for the unsatisfactory evaluation of the spaces - are those that are directly related to the project and its inadequacy to the place. It is proposed an evaluation instrument, a guide that can be used by architects during the elaboration of hospitals’ projects, in the evaluation of ready projects and of built buildings and in use, that can verifies the compromising of the project under the environmental aspects, of comfort and quality, functional, constructive and aesthetic.

The design and development of a knowledge-based lean six sigma maintenance system for sustainable buildings : the design and development of a hybrid Knowledge-Based (KB)/Gauging Absence of Pre-requisites (GAP)/Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) model for implementing lean six sigma maintenance system in sustainable buildings' environment

Al Dairi, Jasim S. S. January 2017 (has links)
The complexity of sustainable building maintenance environment requires managers to define and implement appropriate quality benchmark system suitable for this function. Lean Six Sigma (LSS) is one of the most effective process improvement and optimization philosophy that maintenance organisations can implement in their environment. However, literature review has shown that 90% of failures in LSS implementations are due to lack of readiness to change, the unawareness of the required benchmark organisation capabilities, and improper control of priorities. The contribution of the current research approach is in developing a hybrid Knowledge-Based (KB)/GAP/AHP System, consisting of three stages (Planning, Designing and Implementation) and containing over 2500 KB rules. The KB System can assist the decision-makers in identifying the obstacles behind the organisation readiness to change into a benchmark LSS maintenance environment. Thus the KB System will be used to achieve benchmark standards by determining the gap existing between the current environment and the benchmark goal, and then suggest a detailed plan to overcome these hurdles in a prioritised and structured manner, thus achieving cost benefits. To ensure its consistency and reliability, the KB System was validated in three Oman-based maintenance organisations, and one published case study for a UK-based organisation. The results from the validation were positive with the System output suggesting list of top priorities and action plans for achieving benchmark LSS standards for these organisations. The research concludes that the developed KB System is a consistent and reliable methodology for assisting decision-makers in designing, planning, and implementing LSS for benchmark sustainable building maintenance.

xii, 145 p. : ill. (some col.), maps. A print copy of this thesis is available through the UO Libraries. Search the library catalog for the location and call number. / In an effort to confront global warming and the increasing scarcity of resources, the preservation community began several years ago to adopt sustainable and green building practices and metrics for historic rehabilitation projects. As a result, there is an ever growing number of rehabilitated historic buildings in the United States not only incorporating sustainable building designs but also achieving Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification. Most of these are large, architect-designed buildings in urban settings rehabilitated for cultural and commercial uses. This thesis explores the application of the LEED 2009 New Construction and Major Renovation Rating System for the development of a sustainable rehabilitation plan for the modest vernacular 1897 Jeff. Smith's Parlor Museum in Skagway, Alaska. The goal of this research is to demonstrate how the LEED rating system might be applied to the rehabilitation of this building and other historic vernacular buildings. / Committee in Charge: Donald L.

Diretrizes sustentáveis e saudáveis para melhoria em hospedagem assistida a idosos / Sustainable and healthy guidelines for improving assisted in hosting the elderly

Cochmanski, Liliane Cristina de Camargo 05 April 2016 (has links)
O envelhecimento populacional é um processo natural que está ocorrendo em todo o mundo. O Brasil terá apenas 25 anos, enquanto os países europeus levaram um século para o envelhecimento da população. Com o aumento da população idosa, a sociedade terá importantes consequências culturais, sociais e econômicas, advindas de muitos problemas, que estão relacionados às famílias com condições econômicas precárias e número cada vez menor de filhos, habitações sem planejamento para a terceira idade, asilos sem infraestrutura para atendimento, cuidadores de idosos sem formação, descaso, abandono e pobreza. Com todos os problemas relacionados à terceira idade, este trabalho busca determinar as diretrizes sustentáveis e saudáveis para a melhoria da arquitetura para os idosos. Mediante entrevistas estruturadas e visitas nas Instituições de Longa Permanência dos Idosos (ILPIs) existentes na cidade de Curitiba, possibilitou-se a identificação das reais condições em relação à qualidade de vida dos idosos. Durante a pesquisa observou-se: carência em infraestrutura da edificação; inexistência de equipamentos para o aproveitamento das águas das chuvas e/ou aquecimento da mesma para usar principalmente no chuveiro; falta de local ao ar livre com direito ao sol fora do recuo frontal e sem exposição à rua; serviços e atividades ofertadas, como médicos geriátricos, odontólogos e falta de atividades voltadas às doenças que mais se apresentam nas instituições, como o Alzheimer, a Hipertensão e Diabetes. Isso indica a necessidade de um espaço projetado para a terceira idade utilizando diretrizes sustentáveis e saudáveis, como por exemplo a escolha de materiais não tóxicos e próximos ao local da construção devem ser escolhidos durante a fase de projeto, que possam melhorar a qualidade de vida dos idosos residentes nas casas de repouso. / Population aging is a natural process that is taking place worldwide. The Brazil will take only 25 years, while European countries had a century to the population aging. With population aging, the society had important cultural, social and economic consequences, resulting from many problems, which are related to families with poor economic conditions and increasingly fewer children, houses without planning for the elderly, nursing homes without infrastructure to service, untrained elderly caregivers, neglect, abandonment and poverty. With all the problems related to old age, this study seeks to determine the sustainable and healthy guidelines for improving the architecture for the elderly. By structured interviews and visits in the institutions of the Long Term Elderly (ILPIs) in the city of Curitiba, enabled the identification of the actual conditions regarding the quality of life for seniors. During the research it was observed: lack of infrastructure building; lack of equipment for the use of rainwater and / or heating the same for use mainly in the shower; lack of outdoor venue with the sun right out the front setback and without exposure to the street; offered services and activities such as geriatric doctors, dentists and lack of activities related to diseases that present themselves in institutions, such as Alzheimer's, hypertension and diabetes. This indicates the need for a space designed for seniors using sustainable and healthy, such as the choice of non-toxic materials and nearby the construction site must be chosen during the design phase, guidelines that can improve the quality of life of elderly people living in nursing homes.

DiagnÃstico da sustentabilidade nas construÃÃes residenciais no municÃpio de Juazeiro do Norte/Ce com base no plano diretor de desenvolvimento urbano / Diagnosis of sustainability in residential construction in the municipality of Juazeiro do Norte/Ce based on master plan for urban development

DÃborah Macedo dos Santos 10 May 2013 (has links)
CoordenaÃÃo de AperfeiÃoamento de Pessoal de NÃvel Superior / Formulada a hipÃtese de que o municÃpio de Juazeiro do Norte tem deixado a desejar no que diz respeito à sustentabilidade das construÃÃes, este trabalho pretende fazer um diagnÃstico deste municÃpio mediante o estudo de suas residÃncias jà consolidadas. Mesmo com comprovada relevÃncia econÃmica nas atividades da construÃÃo civil no municÃpio, a preocupaÃÃo com o planejamento, implantaÃÃo e execuÃÃo das construÃÃes parecem nÃo fazer parte da âculturaâ da maior parte da populaÃÃo local. As construÃÃes e suas tÃcnicas construtivas tem se desenvolvido com a finalidade Ãnica de prover abrigo, sem a preocupaÃÃo com uma melhor utilizaÃÃo dos recursos naturais e com a saÃde de seus ocupantes. à notÃrio o alto Ãndice de construÃÃes que fazem uso de ausÃncia de recuos, divisÃo de ambientes internos sem janelas para Ãrea externa, exaustÃo de diversos gazes e compostos orgÃnicos volÃteis que poluem a atmosfera e reduzem a saÃde dos seres vivos, descarte de Ãguas servidas nas ruas, alto consumo energÃtico, calÃadas inacessÃveis, inexistÃncia de coleta seletiva de resÃduos domiciliares, ausÃncia de Ãreas permeÃveis das Ãguas das chuvas, entre outros. Consequentemente estas residÃncias se encaixam no perfil do que se conhece por "sÃndrome do edifÃcio doente". Com base nisto, esta pesquisa à justificada pela busca da inserÃÃo de um desenvolvimento urbano e arquitetÃnico sustentÃvel, equilibrado, justo, acessÃvel e que provenha melhor qualidade de vida, atà mesmo de saÃde, para os habitantes desta cidade. A pesquisa objetiva caracterizar e analisar a evoluÃÃo das construÃÃes no municÃpio de Juazeiro do Norte sob o viÃs da sustentabilidade mediante do estudo das metodologias vigentes de avaliaÃÃo de construÃÃes sustentÃveis, da legislaÃÃo local pertinente, de amostras de plantas de residÃncias unifamiliares e da elaboraÃÃo de mapas urbanos que caracterizem as construÃÃes. Concluindo assim que o municÃpio, ao longo dos anos, em sua maioria, entra em desconformidade com as diretrizes bÃsicas de construÃÃes sustentÃveis e com seu sistema local de regularizaÃÃo, o plano diretor de desenvolvimento urbano. / Hypothesized that the municipality of Juazeiro do Norte has left much to be desired with regard to the sustainability of buildings, this work aims to make a diagnostic of this municipality through the study of their homes already consolidated. Even with proven relevance in economic activities of construction in the municipality, the concern with the planning, implementation and execution of the buildings seem not to be part of the "culture" of most of the local population. The buildings and their construction techniques have been developed for the sole purpose of providing shelter, without worrying about making better use of natural resources and the health of its occupants. It is noticeable that high level constructions make no use of setbacks, divisions inside are without windows to the outside area. Various exhaust gases and volatile organic compounds pollute the atmosphere and reduce the health of living beings. The disposal of wastewater in streets, high energy consumption, inaccessible sidewalks, the lack of selective collection of household waste and the lack of permeable areas for rainwater are among some other negative conditions. Consequently, these homes fit the profile of what is known as "sick building syndrome". Based on these facts, research is justified for the pursuit of insertion of urban development and architectural sustainable, balanced, fair, and affordable homes that offer a better quality of life and even health for the inhabitants of this city. The research aims to characterize and analyze the evolution of the buildings in the city of Juazeiro under the bias of sustainability through the study of current evaluation methodologies for sustainable buildings, local legislation for relevant plant samples of single-family homes and mapping that characterize urban constructions. In conclusion, the city over the years mostly comes into disagreement with the basic guidelines for sustainable buildings and for the local system of regularization. Therefore the master plan for urban development is required to improve the quality of the municipality.

Propuesta para la certificación LEED de un proyecto educativo escolar del sector privado para reducir costos de operación y mantenimiento / Proposal for LEED certification of a private sector school educational project to reduce operation and maintenance costs

Briones Becerra, Mariángela, Velasquez Condori, Nora Edith 01 November 2020 (has links)
El concepto de sostenibilidad ha tomado protagonismo en estos últimos años debido a la preocupación por el cuidado del medio ambiente. Es por ello, que surge la necesidad de hacer cambios en la forma en que construimos actualmente, para garantizar la construcción y operación de edificios sostenibles que reduzcan el impacto ambiental. Por otro lado, está demostrado que la infraestructura es un pilar del desarrollo de la educación, pues la capacidad, condición y sostenibilidad de la infraestructura impacta directamente en el aprendizaje, la seguridad y bienestar de profesores y alumnos. Bajo esta premisa, surge la necesidad de establecer criterios que garanticen una infraestructura que tenga la capacidad de brindar espacios de aprendizaje saludables y sostenibles, los cuales además de generar un impacto positivo en el medio ambiente, puedan resultar económicamente atractivos a las entidades gestoras o administrativas, por los porcentajes de ahorro en consumo energético y consumo de agua. La presente investigación se enfocó en la implementación de la certificación voluntaria para alcanzar la certificación LEED for Schools V4.1 enfocado en el uso racional de los materiales, consumo eficiente de energía y agua, para el caso de estudio Colegio Tambo Huancayo. Finalmente, mostrar los beneficios que engloba dicha certificación, desde un enfoque sostenible, económico y social. Con ello, demostrar que, con el ahorro en el consumo de agua y energía, el retorno de la inversión de la implementación es de once años. / The concept of sustainability has taken center stage in recent years due to concern for the care of the environment. That is why the need arises to make changes in the way we currently build, to guarantee the construction and operation of sustainable buildings that reduce environmental impact. On the other hand, it has been shown that infrastructure is a pillar of the development of education, since the capacity, condition and sustainability of the infrastructure directly impacts the learning, safety and well-being of teachers and students. Under this premise, the need arises to establish criteria that guarantee an infrastructure that has the capacity to provide healthy and sustainable learning spaces, which, in addition to generating a positive impact on the environment, can be economically attractive to managing or administrative entities, by the percentages of savings in energy consumption and water consumption. This research focused on the implementation of voluntary certification to achieve the LEED for Schools V4.1 certification focused on the rational use of materials, efficient consumption of energy and water, for the Tambo Huancayo College case study. Finally, show the benefits that this certification includes, from a sustainable, economic and social approach. With this, demonstrate that, with the savings in water and energy consumption, the return on investment of the implementation is eleven years. / Tesis
