as an important measure for public
health. In this sense, disclosure, compliance and enforcement to “Portaria
3523” and “Resolução 09” of the Ministry of Health is priority.
The “Police Power” which supervisory and enforcement public agencies
have is a great tool to compel compliance with existing standards, moreover,
the GBC Brasil understands that regardless of proper supervision, investor,
trader, property managers and business owners should be aware of and
attentive to all public health risks inherent in the building and its systems.
It is unacceptable the fact that the citizen could be at risk from health to
walk in the park, go to a restaurant or shopping, for lack of concern and
maintenance of authorities and responsible. And dealing with standards,
is important to emphasize civil and criminal liability assumed front of the
occurrence of an accident or fatality.
To address the issue of the technical point of view, GBCBrasil highlights
the presence in our market of high professional knowledge on the subject
as well as the latest technology for risk analysis and other measures.
And as a trend of global green building movement we have building
operation, performance of energy consumption and water, waste treatment,
transport users, and especially, systems monitoring and managing air
quality and occupant health.
Awareness of
Legionella
has been growing at an accelerated rate and
the Green Building Council Brasil has much pride and gratitude to have
contributed with these achievements.
