The construction sector, with all the subsectors are involved, is one that generates greater environmental impact. Buildings consume between 20% and 50% of natural resources, contribute greatly to the increase in emissions and pollution, both during the construction process and throughout its useful life once completed.
It is also evident the high impact of its location on the territory, around 80% of people living in urban areas, with negative influence on other sectors like transport and energy. Another key issue is the important generation of waste, construction, maintenance and demolition of buildings, with increasing prospects and difficulties for re-use or recycling. DCS Management develops an r & d activity to promote the use of sustainable, recycled or recyclable materials that reduce CO2 emissions, both by the type of material, due to its proximity in transport (which therefore reduces fuel consumption), and in production processes.
Sustainability loans special dedication to the sensory impact of buildings, both visual and acoustic or nose, looking for suitable sites and increase the comfort of users without emissions, for example the design of buildings with green roofs, with proximity of services to promote the safe transport.
