Not enough research on the economic aspects of the S. C.
The information available is confined inside universities

Items that can be incorporated in real estate projects to make them more sustainable, without any additional construction cost; & Technologies to reduce water and energy consumption that have additional cost, but have an acceptable pay back period by the buyer.
So… real estate developers are able to build more sustainable projects,without any additional cost, even if it is not possible to get it certified
Buyers can clearly understand the benefits of the sustainable real estate
&correctly value it!
Let’s keep learning!
And let each one of us do our part
