"The current construction consumes 42% of the energy produced in our society, 30% of raw materials and generates 35% of emissions of greenhouse gases."

Faced with these figures, it is difficult to escape than a definitive change must occur in the sector. The value 'sustainability' and must be present in the building, and not only because of the above, but because households with designs to achieve higher yields energy are essential.

Sustainable construction is based on the prioritization of recycling and the use of renewable energy products and compared with the current trend of exploitation of raw materials. This trend takes into account all aspects of housing: construction materials (excluding toxic waste and low power consumption), construction techniques for low environmental impact, location of housing, relationship with their environment and energy and other resources.
