Sustainable Building Certifications
Building certifications according to international protocols such as LEED, BREEAM and WELL enable design, construction and management of properties with high environmental, energy and human well-being performance. These standards evaluate a building throughout its entire life cycle, considering aspects such as:
- energy efficiency and resource use
- water management
- reduction of environmental impacts
- health, comfort and quality indoor environments
- management and design innovation
Standards and certifications
The protocols: LEED, BREEAM and WELL
Each protocol can be selected based on specific goals of the project
LEED
Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design
Evaluates the overall sustainability of buildings in terms of energy, materials, water, emissions, site management and innovation.
BREEAM
Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method
One of the most widely used protocols in Europe, it analyzes environmental impacts, management, health, transportation, waste and energy efficiency.
WELL
WELL Building Standard
Primarily focused on human health and well-being, considering air quality, light, comfort, water, nutrition and spatial design.
