Energy efficiency in the construction and design of buildings<\/strong> has become a fundamental factor<\/strong><\/a> today. As awareness of climate change and<\/strong> the need to reduce energy consumption increases<\/strong>, ESG criteria (environmental, social and governance) have become more relevant in the real estate sector.<\/p>\n

In this Renta Insights article we will explore the growing importance of these criteria in the construction<\/strong>, transformation<\/strong><\/a> and<\/strong> sale of buildings<\/strong><\/a> and the energy certifications that support this approach.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Read on to find out more!<\/p>\n

ESG criteria: A holistic approach to sustainability<\/strong><\/h2>\n

ESG criteria are based on the need to consider environmental, social and governance aspects in business<\/strong> decision-making. In the context of building construction, these criteria imply a commitment to reduce environmental impact, promote social equity and ensure good governance throughout the process.<\/p>\n

In terms of energy efficiency, they promote the adoption of practices and technologies that reduce energy consumption<\/strong> and greenhouse<\/strong> gas emissions<\/strong>. This includes the use of efficient lighting and air conditioning systems, the use of renewable energy sources and the implementation of adequate thermal insulation measures.<\/p>\n

Energy certifications: Measures of excellence in sustainability<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Energy certifications are tools used to evaluate and certify the energy and sustainable performance<\/strong> of buildings. These certifications provide a guide to design, build and transform buildings<\/strong> in an efficient way from an energy point of view.<\/p>\n

Some of the most internationally recognized energy certifications include:<\/p>\n
