What is the LEED seal?

LEED Certification (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) is a certification tool that seeks to encourage and accelerate the adoption of sustainable construction practices. This evaluation system promotes a whole-building approach, from project conception through final construction and ongoing maintenance.

By achieving LEED certification, a business owner publicly demonstrates that their building meets demanding sustainability standards, especially those focused on system and equipment efficiency.

What are the benefits for the business owner? With a LEED-certified development, the business owner:

• Differentiates their product in the international marketplace.

• Strengthens and extends relationships with clients and investors.

• Improves company image.

• Increases sales velocity.

• Creates property appreciation for resale or leasing.

• Proves that the building meets efficiency and environmental and social responsibility levels that are recognized internationally.

• Improves relationships with environmental agencies and communities.

• Ensures resource savings during construction and condo operations.

• Drives modernization and reduces building obsolescence.

What are the benefits for users?

There are also benefits designed so that the people who will occupy these developments can live more sustainably:

• Real savings on water and energy.

• Lower condo fees.

• Better building maintenance and preservation conditions.

• Better comfort and health conditions in all spaces and environments.

In short, it's a certification that prioritizes sustainable construction with a high quality of life standard. We can point to the development under construction in southern Brazil—the country's first planned park neighborhood—which was certified right from the start with the highest-scoring level: Platinum. Vivapark is definitely a great example. If you'd like to learn more about this model neighborhood, click the link below.
