Analysis of the implementation of initiatives aimed at promoting sustainability, in its social perspective, in the buildings of ifsertãoPE campus

Abstract

Discussions around the sustainable development of buildings make good design practices
imperative for new buildings, as well as the adequacy of buildings in the use phase. Regarding the search for
sustainability in engineering works and services in the public sector, this obligation also already exists. In this
context, this article aims to identify initiatives aimed at promoting sustainability, in its social perspective, in
compliance with Law 13.146/2015 and accessibility standards, in buildings in use on the campuses of the
Instituto Federal do Sertão Pernambucano – IFSertãoPE, in the period from 2014 to 2022. For this, we used the
documentary analysis of the parts of the bidding processes for works and services, which took place within the
scope of the buildings, contracted between 2014 and 2022, and the technical visit to the buildings. Thus, it was
possible to identify the criteria adopted for the promotion of sustainability, in its social dimension, in compliance
with Law 13.146/2015, and the accessibility standards for buildings, showing that, although IFSertãoPE has
advanced a lot in this direction, some aspects still need to be promoted.
