The construction of sustainable buildings is increasingly important to comply with the Paris Agreement on climate change and ODS, which seek to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Therefore, building sustainable buildings involves improving the energy efficiency of buildings.
To build a sustainable building, you must first understand and follow local and national legislation and regulations. In addition to understanding at a macro level the requirements and prerequisites of the certification that most aligns with your project. This will help determine the appropriate materials and equipment for use in construction. Finally, equipment and materials must be put in place to ensure that everything considered in the design has been correctly placed.
To achieve greater energy efficiency, it is important that a building design be efficient from the start, including the selection of insulating materials, good performance glass and efficient ventilation equipment. In addition, energy saving systems should be taken into account, such as the use of solar panels, heat pumps, geothermal heating and cooling systems and LED lighting systems.
Sustainable certifications such as LEED or EDGE they will ask to ensure that your green building must have good ventilation to provide the clean air that the occupants need. This can be achieved by installing windows and doors that allow adequate air circulation. In addition, it is important to choose building materials that do not emit harmful substances.
Finally, sustainable buildings must have a good water management system. This includes the use of rainwater collection systems, water treatment systems, water reuse, and the use of energy saving faucets.
It must be taken into account from the design phase to be efficient in energy, water and indoor environment. Therefore, it would be good to have an expert or an expert consultancy accompany you throughout the process to incur lower cost overruns.

EDGE certification is one of the fastest and most effective ways to create efficient buildings, reduce energy, water, and material consumption, and increase property resale value. Developed by the International Finance Corporation (IFC), part of the World Bank Group, EDGE helps real estate projects lower their environmental impact, reduce operating costs, and support decarbonization efforts. With a streamlined and measurable process, EDGE has become a strategic certification for developers and investors seeking sustainability, profitability, and market differentiation.
Sustainable certifications in Mexico are gaining prominence as a key tool for companies and projects that seek to demonstrate their environmental, social and governance commitment. They are no longer limited to construction alone, but encompass complete processes, operations, products and business models.
Discover how environmental certifications, energy efficiency and sustainable buildings increase the resale value of a property and reduce its environmental impact.
