Abstract

The civil construction is considered one of the most important economic activities to Brazil’s economic development, enabling the generation of job and income to the population. However, this activity increases major impacts to environment, whether by natural resources extraction, as well as by modification of the environment and waste production. Therefore, this work aims to analyze the existence of sustainable practices in the building of Alto Sertão Regional Hospital, in Delmiro Gouveia, Alagoas, applying sustainability assessment system built environment and checking the indicators and certifications. The research in question was the result of the combination of the descriptive study, describing the characteristics of built, relating to sustainable principles, and exploratory, using a set of sustainable indicators, based on the Sustainability Guide of the Chamber of the Construction Industry (2008). For data collection, two forms were prepared and on-site visits to the construction were carried out. As for the results of the study carried out, it was observed that the Hospital was designed to seek to achieve quality standards and norms, not being designed with the purpose of having sustainable standards, despite having adopted some practices that have positive aspects for sustainability. Such practices taken allowed to reduce the environmental impact created in a built in the environment where the enterprise is located.
