Abstract

With the human premise of contributing to the sustainable development of society, engineers and researchers work looking for ecological alternatives for the housing construction. The SERMAP – PRFV system is based on the use of precast lightweight panels for foundations, walls, beams and slabs solutions. The small thickness of the elements leads to an economy of cement that could be up to 45% of what would be needed to build with conventional concrete block wall and reinforced concrete slab system, and in consequence to its low weight it is not necessary the use of expensive lifting equipment. With the application of a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), it is shown that, for the aggressive environment of the areas near the Cuban coasts, the SERMAP – PRFV system generate less environmental impact than conventional system, Sandino and small beams and lightweight bricks prefabricated systems.
