GREEN CONSTRUCTION: USE OF RENEWABLE RESOURCES IN CIVIL CONSTRUCTION

Abstract

The problem of sustainability in civil construction has taken a central role in the reflection around the dimensions of development and the alternatives they configure to ensure a quality of life, economy, raw material, labor, environment, harmoniously. A building that seeks to be sustainable uses local, recycled and reusable materials. As well as renewable resources not only in the processes of execution of the work, but as in its operation. This article has as its general objective to analyze opportunities and present contributions to sustainable practice in construction from renewable resources. The method used for data collection was scientific research in the annais and journals, in addition to books and articles, and the criterion adopted for the selection of samples was that of Rational Choice. From the qualitative and quantitative analysis of the data, contributions to sustainability and renewable resources were identified, which can be implemented by companies operating in the construction sector.
