Sistema de revestimento em ecogranito : análises e especificações do material em diversos locais de aplicação estudo de caso : revestimento para fachada de edifício em Belo Horizonte. Granito x ecogranito

Abstract

This study aims to identify and analyze characteristics, properties and parameters of ecogranite, as well as its use as a coating on façades. For this, it was compared to the use of ornamental stone, granite, and its form of application in building facades. The growing interest in innovations and technology in favor of construction industry and consequent sustainability aroused the motivation for the study of the ecogranite cladding system, including material analysis and specifications in various application locations. This study was complemented with a case study: cladding for the facade of a building in Belo Horizonte, comparing ecogranite with granite. For this study, bibliographic studies and analyzes of laboratory tests and technical reports made available by reliable companies were used, in addition to a questioning of residents of the building in question, consulting issues of thermal and visual comfort of the building. With the studies it was possible to analyze reflectance and absorbance parameters of ecogranite and observe that, depending on the color used, it has an excellent thermal development, in addition to low material application and transport costs, which does not occur with granite, for example. Another point observed was in relation to the case study. For the needs of the building's residents, the use of ecogranite, associated with the existing granite slabs on the façade, was chosen and adopted during the renovation.
