Is there a nationally adopted and recognized form of certification for buildings? What is it and is it mandatory for all new buildings and refurbished buildings?
No. From a legal perspective, there are no nationally adopted or mandated green building certifications in Chile. Commercially, there are some certifications that have become common, especially Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED). However, these certifications are only related to marketing strategies and not to legal requirements. In addition, these apply mostly to offices rather than residential buildings.
