This text discusses strategies and barriers for the implementation of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
sustainable building in the region based on four focal points:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(1) long- and short-term balance between building quality expectations
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
at low environmental impact and the need to satisfy basic needs for
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
large proportions of the population
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(2) development of sustainable building regional parameters, which can
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
be significantly different from those found in developed countries
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(3) difficulties posed by formal and informal construction to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
sustainable building implementation
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(4) introduction of sustainable building in professional education.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The industrialized countries taking part in the first rounds of the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Green Building Challenge process (GBC) have developed environmental
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
policies and finalized construction-oriented research investment. This
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
solid foundation facilitated and allowed for immediate work on
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
environmental assessment of buildings. Argentina, Brazil, Chile and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Mexico are now part of the GBC. Although it is clear that they cannot
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
replicate methods based on the success they had in other regions, GBC
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
can be a valuable means of introducing concepts and raising awareness.'
