Soluții de construcție durabile pentru menținerea și creșterea prețului imobiliar

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to explain the necessity of sustainable solutions in the real estate sector and their potential benefits for investors. By sustainable construction it is implied that the built structure takes into consideration all three pillars of sustainability: people, environment and profit [5]. Moreover, in the context of climate change and resource scarcity, sustainability is gaining more importance across all economic activities, even in construction industry and real estate. Real estate sector is facing an important challenge, as a large amount of GHG emissions (i.e. almost 40 % of global CO2) [3] is attributed to buildings and their operation. Therefore, it is essential to integrate the ecological and social aspects along with the economic efficiency. To account for all these aspects, buildings should be examined through the entire life cycle. Starting from the design and planning phase, designers and investors should consider energy-saving solutions, durable and safe materials, design for flexibility, etc. to ensure profitability in the long run. These are only few examples of sustainable solutions against the loss of value of real estate.
