SUSTAINABILITY CONSIDERATION IN BUILDING STRUCTURAL FRAME SELECTION PROCESSES
Abstract eng: Methodologies for indicators selection and benchmarking are paramount to present strategies for achieving sustainability in the construction industry. Life cycle-based studies show structural frames and envelopes as major contributors to the building’s environmental loads. With a case study approach focusing on design alternatives for residential medium-rise building columns, this paper aims at validating a core set of multidimensional indicators that helps integrates functional, environmental and economic structural systems’ performance requirements along its life cycle, to assist in selecting structural frames in the Brazilian context.
