Nowadays is common to hear architects, interior designers, engineers and even
real estate professionals talk about concepts such as the Kyoto protocol, carbon
neutral, sustainable construction, bioconstruction and other theories or tools
recently developed from the need to generate global social awareness about the
environmental crisis we face. Many of these “green” tools assist professionals
for instance by indicating the chemical composition of materials or measuring
the emissions produced by an operating building – this with the purpose of
assisting in reducing, stopping or eliminating the environmental impact caused
by the construction industry, o�ering at the same time environmental and
socioeconomic advantages.
We expect the construction sector to adopt the “green” concept not only as a
trend, but as an important attribute of new commercial developments. For
many developers adopting these green initiatives in their commercial projects
can bring many bene�ts such as recognition as an environmental champion,
assistance in meeting local environmental regulations, decrease operating
costs, diminish sta� rotation of current tenants, allow for better use of human
capital and other resources and increase space e�ciency among others.
That is why several Latin American countries have joined global organizations
such as the World Green Building Council in order to create awareness about
this type of construction in their local markets. For example, Argentina, Brazil,
Colombia and Mexico have already established Green Building Councils and
Chile, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Panama, Peru and Uruguay are currently in the
process. Ecuador, Paraguay, Dominican Republic and Venezuela are only a few
of the 16 other countries interested in creating their own Green Building
Councils.
With the objective of accelerating our clients understanding of these new
sustainability concepts and ideas, Colliers International has gathered regional
information from our Latin American specialists to better assist in the
understanding of this topic. Colliers International Latin America remains
committed to delivering the best real estate market advice available and as
always we welcome your comments and questions.

Sustainable constructions or Green buildings as they are usually known are
structures speci�cally designed to reduce the negative impact on human beings
and the environment. Their objectives are:
- E�cient use of energy, water, land and materials.
- Protect the well being of its occupiers and improve the productivity of
employees.
- Reduce waste and contamination generated by the building.
Green Buildings are designed to achieve a high level of productivity during their
complete life cycle – from site selection, through their designing process all the
way to the end or demolition.
Sustainable constructions are signi�cantly better than standard buildings. They
use less energy, save money in the long run, improve comfort levels for their
occupiers and are environmentally friendly.
In order to obtain the maximum amount of bene�ts from sustainable buildings,
the whole process has to integrate all di�erent disciplines – i.e. designers,
architects, construction process, etc.

GREEN REPORT | LATINAMERICA | DECEMBER 2010
The �rst step in the process is fundamental - it consists of de�ning the
sustainability level of the project. There are several sustainable construction
certi�cations such as BREEAM , Green Star , CASBEE , GSBC and LEED
among others and they all have di�erent levels of sustainability (see table). The
World Green Building Council -WorldGBC - promotes the adoption of all
the di�erent systems of sustainable construction certi�cation – the WorldGBC
is an organization that has as a main objective facilitating the exchange of
information regarding the environmental performance of sustainable buildings
in the di�erent green building councils in each country.
The LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Certi�cation was
created by the US Green Building Council and it is actually the most widely
used certi�cation in America and one of the most utilized around the globe
(more than 120 countries).
Once a sustainability level has been decided, it is important to integrate each
one of the resources and disciplines in the design, construction and operation
process. These are the teams in charge of design, construction, subcontractors,
users and building operators. This has to be done to ensure that all the di�erent
groups work as a team to achieve better synergy and achieve the sustainability
goals set at the beginning of the process.
The integrated design is one of the most important factors in the development
of sustainable buildings and a key element to avoid going over budget.

HOW MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE IS A SUSTAINABLE CONSTRUCTION?
Generally, most people think sustainable construction is costly but in reality it is
not more expensive and in some cases it can even be cheaper than
conventional construction. The most commonly made error that makes a
sustainable project more expensive is to decide or modify after the design
process the desired level of sustainability - this is what results in many of the
additional costs. Another mistake is to work individually without any
interaction among the di�erent teams and professionals working on the project.
This increases the cost of hiring professionals because of the many extra hours
needed to �x errors that could have been avoided.

COST COMPARISON OF SUSTAINABLE CONSTRUCTIONS
As mentioned before it is necessary to determine the level of sustainability
desired for the project and then decide how many “points” to achieve given that
there some more expensive than others but that in the end translate into more
savings in the operation of the project. Nevertheless, these costs can be greatly
reduced or even eliminated if sustainability objectives are clearly de�ned in the
pre-design stage.

On average green building projects take 2 years from the time they are registered to their �nal certi�cation. However, it is important to mention the exponential increase in registered projects between 1st and 2nd semester of 2010 in Brazil and a twofold increase in certi�ed projects during the same period in Mexico.
Regarding Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica and Panama an important increase in the short term is expected, given the tendency in new sustainable projects.
In the short term it is even possible to experience an increase in this trend given the level of importance some governments currently give to green initiatives.
Currently, more than 46% of all green projects are related to o�ce and retail projects followed by residential and hotel/resorts projects.
On the other hand it is important to notice the big gap that still exists between Latin America and the rest of the world regarding public infrastructure projects.

The LEED Rating systems are the di�erent certi�cations available to projects.
In this way a new project can chose to obtain from 1 to 3 certi�cations: LEED
for Core & Shell, LEED for Commercial Interiors and LEED for Existing
Buildings: Operations & Maintenance. It is important to mention that the LEED
for Existing Buildings: Operations & Maintenance certi�cation is for both
buildings LEED certi�ed or not and it is the only one requiring renewal. On the
other hand the LEED for Core & Shell certi�cation is the only one allowing for
pre-certi�cation. The complete and o�cial names of the LEED 2009 rating
systems are:

Since May 2009 a LEED Specialist is an accredited professional with all the
knowledge and experience in sustainable construction. Any obtained
credentials need to be renewed every two years through continuing education,
practical experience or submitting the exam again. The �rst tier exam is called
LEED Green Associate. The second tier exam is called LEED Accredited
Professional with specialty and has �ve separate exams to allow for individual
specialization.
