Certifications that ensure quality and sustainability in the building industry
Sustainable Development Goals
Sustainability, defined as the capacity to meet present needs without compromising those of future generations, relies on a balance among three key pillars: environmental protection, social equity, and economic responsibility. This concept has gained global significance, propelled by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which offer a clear framework for promoting fairer and more environmentally conscious practices.
In sustainable building, the goal is to minimize the environmental impact of construction, optimize resource use, enhance energy efficiency, and ensure a healthy living environment. This is accomplished through the design, construction, and operation of buildings that adhere to strict sustainability criteria. Certifications like LEED, BREEAM, VERDE, WELL Building Standard, and PASSIVHAUS serve as tools to assess and validate the environmental performance of buildings, establishing a global benchmark.
Utilizing materials with sustainability certifications is vital for achieving these objectives. Certifications that ensure environmental quality and responsible sourcing have become essential for architects striving to meet international standards. Among the most recognized are PEFC and FSC, which certify that the wood used comes from sustainably managed sources, along with EPD and HPD certifications, which provide transparency regarding the environmental impact and safety of the products utilized.
