| dc.description.abstract | There is growing the concern about the performance of buildings concorcomitantly with the damage caused to the environment during the execution of a work. Under the concept of the triple bottom line, it is extremely important to analyse the materials that make up a building, as they influence the factors that can reduce costs, improve performance of the building and minimize environmental impacts. In order to improve thermal performance, reduce your weight and reduce costs with the structure can be used monolithic panels in EPS and vertical seals. Monolithic EPS panels comprise a core of expanded polystyrene (EPS), surrounded by metal mesh and a coating layer. It will be consideration to influence of the structure and cost of the work is the masonry walls were replaced by monolithic panels in EPS. For this purpose, it will be used a design of a building of 4 floors with área of 1342,00 m² and another project of a horizontal condominium with a total area of 600,43m², evaluating two typologies. From this projects was dimensioned the structure with walls in ceramic blocks and monolithic panels in EPS. The calculation models were analyzed to quantify the total concrete and steel in each option. The concrete quantitative analysis showed a reduction of 10,69% in the building of 4 floors ans 7,23% in the condominium with the monolithic panels of EPS. In the quantity of steel, the difference was slightly lower, of 6,02% in the building of 4 floors and 1,69% in the horizontal condominium. EPS monolithic panels also had advantages over the total budget of the structure and fences and in relation to the execution time of the work. The budget os the building with 4 floors was 4,92% cheaper, wich represents a saving of R$ 30.698,08. And the execution time was reduced by 19 days, adopting this system. In the horizontal condominium budget, the difference was similar, of 4,90%, wich represents a saving of R$ 12.227,74. And the execution time of this building would be reduced in 18 days. | en |
