This is a study with a quantitative, conclusive, descriptive approach, with data collected via a survey with 87 residents of Florianópolis and analysis through descriptive statistics and structural equation modeling technique. We observed that it was possible to statistically validate the hypotheses outlined in the study, in which both collective interests and technologies have a positive impact on sustainable development goals. The main contribution of this article was to verify in practice that actions of collective interest and the efficiency caused using technology in favor of smart cities accelerate the promotion of sustainability.

This research aims to analyze the degree of sustainability of a building in a community university (object of analysis), as regards its energy efficiency. Therefore, it seeks out to contribute to the literature, provide a basis for the application of SICOGEA system in other buildings and contribute to the consolidation of an effective and consistent environmental management system. The research can be classified, as to its technical procedures, as a case study. As to its objectives it is descriptive, with a qualitative approach. The literature on environmental management and sustainability assessment of buildings was used to support the research. As to the results found, the overall University sustainability rate was 48%, which can be classified as regular, that is, it aims to deal with the legislation only. Therefore, it is believed that the institution can make improvements to achieve a more efficient index. By taking into consideration the deficit items, the following is suggested: to introduce sustainable procurement; to strive for stamps and certifications; to avoid environmental fines and indemnity; and to implement environmental auditing. However, it is clarified that these are suggestions that should be taken into consideration along with financial matters and within the institution planning questions. The analysis of financial sustainability was considered good and, ideally, it will go on. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
