Resumo: | University campuses, through their facilities and the many activities that take place at them, concentrate numerous people of, such as teachers, students, administrative collaborators, suppliers and visitors. All of these activities generate environmental impacts and consequently need mitigation to promote sustainability. Recently, classifications have emerged that aim to measure and compare the level of sustainability in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) around the world, in order to encourage good environmental sustainability practices and minimize the impacts on the environment of the higher education sector. This research was carried out with a university campus as the object of study that participates in the classification of the Green Metric World Rankings. The objective of the research was to propose a method for defining environmental sustainability guidelines on university campuses, based on metrics used in the global classification of sustainable universities. Methodologically, the analytical hierarchy process (AHP) was used to support the decisionmaking process based on the evaluation criteria of the Green Metric World Rankings. Waste, water, and energy data were also used as well as internal reports from the environmental management system (EMS) department of the studied campus, in addition to the application of questionnaires with employees who participate directly and indirectly in the EMS in the technical, operational, and financial areas. The results include the construction of the method based on the Green Metric criteria and oriented to AHP, its appropriation in different scenarios being recommended. The indicative of guidelines developed suggest the expansion of environmental sustainability in the studied campus. The AHP results identify sustainability needs such as requiring investments in the construction of a structure for the storage of rainwater in the classroom blocks (with 27.3% of respondents favoring this choice) and the installation of photovoltaic panels in the same blocks (with an AHP weight of 21.7%). The guidelines elaborated in the research herein propose the consolidation of the participation in sustainability classifications for universities, the involvement of senior management to strengthen the implementation of action plans for environmental improvement, control, the maintenance of data and records according to the Green Metric criteria, and the use of the AHP method for decision making. |
