LEED certification (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) is one of the best strategies implemented to reduce the environmental impact of any construction.

It is an evaluation and certification system that qualifies the construction strategies, their design, as well as the technologies used, guaranteeing that the building operates under the efficiency of water and energy consumption, the sustainable development of free spaces on the plot, the use of alternative energies, the improvement of indoor environmental quality, as well as a correct selection of materials and the proper management of construction waste.
