The soil-cement block with incorporation of applied waste to requirements needed paragraph LEED V4 in the category of Materials and Resources

Abstract

The sustainability of a building is not only based on the global analysis of sustainability. It is important to verify the origin of the materials used in the work, analyzing the way in which they are produced and the impact caused in the production. The certification of the soil-cement-waste block offers a detailed analysis of the product, showing its life cycle, raw material origin and waste management. Through a literature review, the characteristics of the product have been identified that meet the formal requirements required for LEED V4 certification. The large amount of raw material recycled or recycled and of sustainable origin in the soil-cement-waste block means that the material achieves a high score in all the requirements required for the certification of Materials and Resources, taking into account the desires of the producers and Consumers.
