Abstract

Nowadays cities are facing several environmental problems due to the populationmigration to urban areas, which is causing urban sprawl. This way, it is very important todefine solutions to improve Land Use Efficiency (LUE). This article proposes the use ofcommunity buildings features as a solution to increase land use efficiency. Communitybuildings consider the design of shared building spaces to reduce the floor area of buildings.This work tests the performance of some case‐study buildings regarding LUE to analyse itspossible pros and cons. A quantifiable method is used to assess buildings’ LUE, which considersthe number of occupants, the gross floor area, the functional area, the implantation area andthe allotment area. Buildings with higher values for this index have reduced environmentalimpacts because they use less construction materials, produce less construction anddemolition wastes and require less energy for building operation. The results showed that theuse of community building features can increase Land Use Efficiency of buildings.
