description Sustainability evaluation of different techniques for concrete mixing based on quality control ABSTRACT In this study emergy analysis, an environmental valuation method was applied to concrete mixing with the purpose of evaluating its dependence on non-renewable natural resources. Three concrete mixing techniques, industrialized, semi-industrialized and manual, were evaluated based on quality control. The quantity of environmental resources used in production was measured in terms of equivalent solar energy. The resulting transformities were compared to show that emergy analysis is sensible to local context and the limits of the reference system. The results obtained show that concrete mixing is highly dependent on external resources. Semi-industrialized concrete was found to be the most sustainable. Keywords: emergy analysis; environmental accounting; sustainability; transformity; concrete. Evaluación de la sustentabilidad de diferentes técnicas de producción de concreto hidráulico basado en su control de calidad RESUMEN En este trabajo, se aplicó un método de valoración ambiental en la producción concreto con el fin de evaluar su dependencia de los recursos naturales no renovables. Tres técnicas de producción basadas en su control de calidad: industrializada, semi-industrializada y manual; se evalualuaron mediante eMergía. Esto se realizó para medir la cantidad de uso de los recursos del medio ambiente en términos de energía solar equivalente. Las Transformidades resultantes se compararon con el fin de poner de manifiesto que el análisis de eMergía es sensible al contexto local y los límites del sistema de referencia. Los resultados obtenidos muestran una alta dependencia en la producción de concreto sobre las fuentes de recursos externos, siendo el concreto semi-industrializado el más sustentable. Palabras clave: Análisis eMergético; contabilidad ambiental; sustentabilidad; transformidad; concreto hidráulico.    Avaliaçao da sustentabilidade de tres métodos de produçao de concreto com base no controle de qualidade RESUMO Este trabalho apresenta um método de avaliação ambiental na produção de concreto, baseado no consumo de recursos naturais não-renováveis. Três técnicas de produção (industrializada, semi-industrializada e manual) foram avaliadas sob o controle de qualidade eMergia. Este conceito foi utilizado para medir a quantidade do uso de recursos do meio ambiente em termos de energia solar equivalente. Os resultados foram comparados a fim de mostrar que a análise eMergia é sensível ao contexto local e aos limites do sistema de referência. Os resultados mostram uma alta dependência da produção de concreto em relação às fontes de recursos externos, sendo o concreto semi-industrializado o mais sustentável, segundo esta análise. Palavras chave: análise eMergética; contabilidade ambiental; sustentabilidade; transformidade; concreto.
