Abstract

The performance standard has become an essential component in the pursuit of quality in the construction sector. It specifies minimum criteria for the behavior in use of construction systems, as well as the definition of the tasks and interventions necessary to achieve the useful life. The obligation to comply with it highlights the importance of ensuring the requirements of the users for the building, with emphasis on the flooring system. The objective of this work is to analyze the mechanisms adopted by a construction company to meet the requirements of thermal, acoustic, lighting performance and tightness, with a focus on the flooring system. This work aims to analyze the fulfillment of the requirements of Part 3, Requirements for Flooring Systems, of NBR 15575, Residential Buildings – Performance, in a construction company. A case study was carried out through document analysis, interviews, as well as visual inspection of the flooring system executed, with photographic record. In the results obtained, it was verified that the company met the requirements through the dimensioning of the flooring system so that it could be represented, due to its characteristics, by a FAD, and by tests or inspections in the field. However, it is worth highlighting the following as the main obstacles to ensure compliance with the requirements studied: the difficulty of hiring economically viable laboratories to perform the tests determined by the standard and of requiring suppliers to provide test reports that ensure the quality of the materials purchased for the flooring system.
