With over 30 years of operation, LEED Certification (Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design) has become the most widely used sustainable legalization system in the world, spanning more than 180 countries. According to the Green Building Council, Mexico was recognized as one of the top 10 LEED countries and regions in 2019. This same institution certified 232 projects from December 2020 to July 2021 in our country.
Throughout the years, developers have adopted this mechanism as a planning and decision-making tool when conceiving their buildings compared to conventional construction. By using less energy, LEED-certified spaces save money for entrepreneurs and, consequently, end-users. This type of certification has been recognized as a significant factor in property appreciation, as it reduces maintenance costs, enhances occupants' comfort, and respects the environment.

Among the significant economic benefits of obtaining this certification is the possibility of saving more on energy consumption. Meeting the standards results in up to 90% waste reduction and a reduction in water use between 30% and 50%.
Constructing green buildings allows for capitalizing on sustainability investments and becoming a benchmark that promotes environmental respect values. Besides energy and economic efficiency, other advantages include better health and productivity conditions in workplaces.
