In addition to being respectful of the environment and the surroundings where they are located, this type of buildings offer various benefits for owners, users, and other companies.

Contribution to the environment: some aspects that can be mentioned are the improvement of air and water quality, the reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, the restoration of natural resources, temperature control, among others.
Attracting investment and customer satisfaction: building sustainably involves an affordable cost and, more importantly, the return on investment is assured within a reasonable timeframe. Moreover, by being sustainable, a certification is also obtained that is considered of high commercial value for the construction industry.
Competitiveness: by promoting green construction, operating costs are reduced, the building's life cycle is optimized, the processes of the involved team improve, the property value increases, as well as the productivity of the users.
Energy efficiency: this is one of the areas where the return on investment in sustainable buildings is most quickly realized. Strategies aimed at energy efficiency achieve lower consumption than conventional buildings during their operational phase, in addition to using energy based on renewable resources.
Health: with sustainable construction, pleasant spaces are created, providing better lighting and thermal conditions, which impacts their comfort and overall health, as well as their productivity.

It is worth noting that, for a construction to be truly sustainable, it must meet certain characteristics, such as:
Ecosystem and environment: The construction should not negatively impact both the space where the construction takes place and the other participating elements.
Natural resources: It should promote the use of new energies, or the reuse of resources suitable for it.
Human comfort: The spaces within the building must be designed in such a way that they promote the comfort of the occupants. The sites must be accessible to everyone, in such a way that they enhance the quality of life.
Aesthetics: It refers to the need for a design that is both pleasant and useful according to the requirements; it should not alter the visualization of the environment.
Materials: The materials used do not generate pollution; they are environmentally friendly, from their transportation, creation, use, or disposal.
