Resumo
This paper assesses the impact of the arrangement of pillars and building height and its effect on the environmental impacts for the structural solution. Impacts are analyzed in the elements of the structure: Foundations, pillars, and slabs. By embodied energy and carbon footprint, both, the manufacturing process of materials and the process of implementation of the proposed structure are measured. The results are obtained per executed square meter. The analysis provides the optimal arrangement for the pillars and the height of the building; the increase in separation of the pillars causes greater impacts, and the design of tall buildings also drives to an important increase of resource consumption.
