About 

After several years working as an architect, I discovered that sustainability and energy efficiency is an specific way to understand job. So I started my training and develop my professional work as a consultant in this field. In recent years focused on the buildings in use,because I understand that the future is to rehabilitate the existing buildings. BREEAM and LEED certifications help to support this level of sustainability to achieve.
