Why incorporate Environmental Criteria?
Urban pressures
The growth of the middle class globally is increasing significantly, with an average of 90 million people joining this group each year. It is projected that by 2050, 70% of the world's population will be living in urbanized areas, placing greater demand on infrastructure and services. In addition, the construction sector will experience accelerated growth, with the global built-up area expected to double by 2060.
Climate pressures
The construction sector and buildings generate pressure on the environment. Buildings are currently responsible for 19% of global greenhouse gas emissions and consume 40% of the world's electricity.
According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report, by 2030 all new buildings should have zero net carbon emissions. In addition, by 2050, all existing buildings should achieve the same target of zero net carbon emissions.
Economic Opportunities
Despite the challenges presented by urban and climatic pressures, there is great untapped economic potential. It is estimated that 80% of the viable potential in the construction sector is untapped. Implementing sustainable and efficient solutions would not only contribute to mitigating climate change but would also benefit multiple actors in the sector's value chain.
What are we doing at Fibra Nova?
At Fibra Nova, we are committed to integrating sustainability criteria in construction, as well as optimizing energy and water efficiency in the design and remodeling of our properties. Our goal is always to exceed the expectations of our stakeholders and generate a positive impact on both the community and the environment.
To this end, we have aligned ourselves with the EDGE (Excellence in Design for Greater Efficiencies) certification, a building evaluation system developed by the International Finance Corporation (IFC), which promotes the construction of sustainable and efficient buildings in the use of key resources such as energy, water, and materials. By adhering to this certification, Fibra Nova is committed to achieving a minimum savings of 20% in energy and water consumption and in the energy embodied in construction materials.
EDGE adapts to any level of ambition in resource efficiency, including zero carbon.
How is a Green Building defined?
Performance above the local reference standard: The building must show a performance that exceeds the parameters set by local regulations in terms of sustainability, energy efficiency and resource use.
Ability to obtain green certification through independent third-party verification: The property must be evaluated and qualified by an independent certifying entity that guarantees its compliance with international green criteria.
Quantified impact report: A detailed report must be submitted that quantifies and demonstrates the environmental benefits of the building, such as reduction in energy and water consumption, as well as carbon emissions.
Sustainable Portfolio
We reaffirm our commitment to sustainable construction by integrating practices that minimize environmental impact, optimize resource use, and promote the well-being of communities. We firmly believe that building responsibly is key to ensuring a more resilient future, and we are constantly working to implement innovative technologies and certifications that support our vision of a more sustainable environment. This is why, at the beginning of 2024, we began the certification process for our industrial portfolio. In December of the same year, we were able to certify the industrial buildings located in the Parque Tecnológico Bafar Chihuahua, Parque Bafar Milenium and Parque Bafar Reynosa. In the coming years, we will continue with our certification process, seeking to comply with the highest sustainability standards.
