Sustainability is occupying more and more space in the media and attracted the attention of various areas, especially construction. The stamp "sustainable" has become an object of desire for industries producing materials and the companies that build buildings in cities. But to achieve this certification in Brazil, you must follow the instructions of the system Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED), a tool created in the United States and being adapted in Brazil by the Green Building Council Brazil, which provides guidelines to measure the degree of sustainability of buildings. Accomplishment of the building, site infrastructure, easy access, energy efficiency and water management, in addition to the use of materials considered sustainable are some of the items analyzed by the system. Sustainability is not just about alternative materials or cutting edge technologies. It includes; a good architectural plan, correct implementation, considering the frequency of the sun, the wind, proper planning of the work, taking into account the locally available materials, among others. Sustainable products are those that throughout its lifecycle, from manufacturing to disposal, do not harm the environment. This is the work of the professionals at RealLogs.
