Identification of good practices based on the comparative analysis of the criteria covered in the CGB Brasil Casa, Selo Casa Azul and LEED Residential Single Family Homes certifications

Abstract

Considering the impacts generated by civil construction on the environment, devices that seek to mitigate or minimize these effects survived in the 1990's and 2000's. Thus, the first environmental certifications are created, which are being developed and adapted according to time, new technologies and even the location of their surveillance. This work presents a comparative analysis between the criteria of three certifications: GBC Brasil Casa, LEED for Homes and Selo Casa Azul. The aim is to point out their points of similarity, presenting a form of evaluation of each of the certifications against these questions. From this analysis, 5 categories were formed, which in total have 15 items that meet similar criteria. Finally, as a result we have a minimum scope of good practices based on the three certifications.
