description Current environmental conditions demand revaluating the professional practice of architecture, urbanism and building construction. To serve that purpose, the article presents various certifications granted throughout the world to help the professionals above mentioned to put up “green” structures; other specifications for building materials to be considered “sustainable”; and Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) techniques to analyze constructions’ cradle-to-grave behavior, for measuring building’s environmental impact as well as corroborating its sustainability.

Las condiciones medioambientales actuales exigen la revisión del ejercicio profesional en el campo de la arquitectura, el urbanismo y la construcción. En el artículo se presentan: los sistemas de certificación de construcciones sostenibles desarrollados en diversas regiones del mundo, herramientas que ayudan a los profesionales mencionados a acometer la tarea de producir construcciones “verdes”; las características que deben tener los materiales de construcción para considerarlos sostenibles, y los sistemas para evaluar el ciclo de vida de las edificaciones LCA (Life Cycle Assessment), herramienta para la medición del impacto ambiental de las edificaciones y su verificación en términos de sostenibilidad. 2021-11-10T01:00:01Z 2021-11-10T01:00:01Z 2011-12-14 Artículo revisado por pares info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_2df8fbb1 info:eu-repo/semantics/article http://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85 http://revistas.uan.edu.co/index.php/nodo/article/view/64 http://repositorio.uan.edu.co/handle/123456789/5546 spa http://revistas.uan.edu.co/index.php/nodo/article/view/64/49 Acceso abierto Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0) https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/ info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess http://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2 application/pdf Universidad Antonio Nariño 2346-092X 1909-3888 REVISTA NODO; Vol. 6 Núm. 11 (2011); 99 - 106
