Regarding this, the manager stated that EcoCasa is an ecological sustainability project that aims to reduce CO2 emissions by at least 20% and improve the comfort part of the home by 40 to 80%, which will result in better urban environments and a better carbon footprint.

For his part, Luis Ángel Mecinas Cruz, corporate director of credit and technical area at Banco Inmobiliario Mexicano, emphasized that EcoCasa is a program of the Federal Mortgage Society, so that they, as a banking institution, are intermediaries and administrators of this program.

He stressed that the reduction of CO2 emissions is achieved through materials, design and orientation; everything according to the bioclimatic zones of the country.

Thus, what the bank does is channel and make the project viable. Afterwards, they send the project to an evaluation, through an environment tool that is HEEVi, which is installed in the Single Housing Registry.

In addition, the bank provides advice to developers, who will know the steps to follow and the investment required to have sustainable issues and learn about the benefits of this type of house.
