Summary
The implementation of the technical code for sustainable constructions (CTCS) is an engagement made during the COP20 in Lima, that aims to regulate the technical criteria for the design and construction of sustainable cities and buildings by making efficient use of resources, and reducing GHG emissions. The technical code establishes specific technical requirements when it comes to the rational use of water, energy and refrigeration, emphasizing the use of materials that support the climate conditions where new buildings will be placed.
