Meet the winners of the Construverde 2021 Sustainable Project

Proyecto Sostenible Construverde 2021

Colombia. The Colombian Council of Sustainable Construction gave recognition to projects that have high standards of sustainability and that are also backed by LEED and CASA Colombia certification.

Within the framework of the annual Construverde 2021 event, which took place on September 1, 2 and 3, 18 outstanding projects participated that were recognized by more than 10,000 visitors to our online platform. These projects are found throughout the national territory, in the departments of Atlántico, Antioquia, Cundinamarca, Huila and Valle del Cauca, and in very varied typologies, from an airport and an aeronautical center, residential buildings, university buildings, commercial and warehouses, corporate buildings and even a community, thus demonstrating the great application that these certification systems have in Colombia and the great commitment of the actors of the value chain towards sustainability.

All the participating projects stood out for their energy efficiency, for the reduction in water consumption, for the selection of their materials, for the strategies to minimize the impacts on the environment and seek to guarantee healthy spaces for people and communities.
