| dc.description.abstract | In the construction industry, the concern with performance is a worldwide trend. In Europe it is common to use laws, rules or codes based on the concept of performance. The Technical Code of Buildings (CTE) of Spain is often cited as an example of relatively successful. I effect since 2007, the CTE is considered a landmark legislation, which establishes new provisions to the buildings, their performance and durability. In Brazil, in 2008, the NBR 15.575/2008 was proposed under the general heading of buildings housing up to five floors - Performance, expected to come into force until 2012. However, the use of standard initiatives are still incipient. This work focuses on the implementation of that rule because it believes the deployment as a highly complex and challenging, in view of the multidisciplinary approach of NBR 15.575/2008, requiring commitment and effort of different actors in the construction sector. Thus, our objective is to contribute to the implementation of NBR 15.575/2008, based on the implementation process of the CTE. The work is based on analysis of the two standards and conducted interviews with architects in the city of Logrono, Spain engineers and architects and construction companies in the cities of Porto Alegre and São Leopoldo - RS to understand how was the implementation of CTE and how this code and NBR 15.575/2008 are being used by professionals. As a contribution to the implementation of NBR 15.575/2008 the work points, the gradual implementation, the opportunity for a reappraisal of current standards, the creation of agenda for dissemination of the Standard, the creation of means of communication between those responsible for Standard and users need a program dissemination to key suppliers need to adapt laboratory, conducting courses for designers and consideration of parameters of NBR 15.575/2008 by building codes. | en |
