Estudo de caso sobre os impactos da norma de desempenho, ABNT NBR 15575: 2013, no mercado de residencias unifamiliares populares

Abstract

The ABNT NBR 15575-1: 2013 Residential Buildings - Performance, was implemented in February 2013, and came into force on July 19, 2013. Its main objective was the restructuring of the civil construction sector, through the establishment of Performance requirements for residential buildings. Going against with the vast majority of technical norms published in Brazil, the Performance Standard (PS), as it is known, does not establish materials and procedures to be used in the execution of the building, but performance results to be achieved. Therefore, innovation is stimulated, since it is not necessary to create a standard for each constructive system, it is enough to only prove the performance of each system used. Because it is still quite recent in the market, the PS is still not being fully complied with, for reasons such as resistance to the new, lack of adequate supervision and focus on cost reduction by builders. The present work has the objective of analyzing NBR 15575, studying its implications in the civil construction market, focusing on the market of popular single family residences, of the “Minha Casa Minha Vida” program. For this, a case study was carried out in a condominium of popular residences, in Campina Grande / PB. The study was divided into two stages. The first one consisted of a visit to the work, for later evaluation of its conformity with the Performance Standard. The second stage consisted of an interview with the builder, with the objective of evaluating the company and the construction market of the region, regarding compliance with the Performance Standard. The expected results consist of assessing the impacts of the PS on the civil construction market, assessing their importance and the effects caused to each agent in the production chain.
