Summary: This dissertation approaches concepts related to sustainability in buildings, especially those carried out at the Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo, focusing on the management of construction and demolition waste, and discusses the importance of adopting ecologically correct procedures in the waste management. For that, an exploratory research was carried out, with a qualitative approach, of an applied nature. The procedures used were the bibliographical research, documentary research and case study, interviews and conversations with the staff of the Prefeitura Universitária, seeking to understand the management process of the Waste Construction held at the university. It is necessary to change paradigm, in order to
find solutions to the problem of the rubble generated in the constructions, either by the scarcity of non-renewable natural resources, or by the lack of adequate space for deposition; either because of the high cost that this operation generates or because
of the environmental and social problems caused. It addresses the benefits and impacts of waste management from social and economic points of view. Finally, it is reported the current situation of the Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo regarding the management of waste construction, the procedures that are adopted and some difficulties encountered for the implementation of sustainable management guidelines. It is hoped thereby identifying possibilities of application of these concepts to the reality of the university, taking into account cost, time, safety and quality in application. Having the data collected at the end of work, an action plan will be presented, containing alternatives for better procedures for the problem raised.
