Sustainability permeates every angle of our business. We seek sustainable differentials<\/mark><\/strong> throughout the construction process, from project conception, and encourage employees to also \u201cthink sustainable\u201d, so that they adopt and apply these practices in all processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the design phase of the project, specialists in the area of Products, Projects and Works already determine the best standard of construction according to sustainable principles. This includes identifying processes and products that generate less impact, greater energy efficiency and less water consumption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This commitment justifies the Morar Even sustainable construction motto: \"we practice sustainability and you practice economy\"<\/mark><\/strong>. This care throughout the construction process provides greater safety, comfort, and quality of life for the future resident, greater future financial return for the client or investor and appreciation for the properties surrounding the developments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a rule, our developments exceed legal environmental requirements<\/mark><\/strong> and follow the standards established by entities that grant sustainability seals in many segments. In 2022, we obtained the Preliminary EDGE Certification<\/mark><\/strong> (Excellence in Design for Greater Efficiencies) for the Arbo Alto de Pinheiros development, representative of 6% of the projects in progress in the year, for meeting the expectations of the design phase. The certificates prove a 20% decrease in water, energy and energy embodied<\/mark><\/strong> in materials. The certification, which reveals our expertise and our commitment to ESG practices, brought a financial return of around R$300,000 in the financing fee for the work, due to the \u201cgreen seal\u201d of the Empres\u00e1rio Verde Program promoted by Banco Ita\u00fa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The financial advantage obtained after the Edge certification \u2013 the result of a partnership between the Brazilian Chamber of Construction Industry (CBIC) and the World Bank\/International Finance Corporation (IFC) \u2013 is an IFC concession to projects that prove, via seal, the adoption of sustainable practices with effective results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout the construction period, we use many resources and controls to ensure the quality of construction, the efficiency of predefined processes and the correct use of equipment and products. To this end, quarterly sustainability inspections are carried out at construction sites by the Quality area, which point to the following gains in recent years:<\/p>\n\n\n

Energy efficiency in civil construction is key, since there is an intensive use of energy throughout the construction process to operate machines, equipment, cranes, and racks, etc. We have water and energy consumption targets, controlled by the Quality area. In 2022, 75% of the projects reached their energy consumption targets<\/mark><\/strong>, in the other projects, action plans were adopted at the worksites to reduce consumption. There was no utility reading in 8% of the measurements. For 2023, we intend to install automated reading meters to monitor possible overconsumption at worksites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also have strict standards regarding cost and comfort for the lighting system in the common areas that will be delivered at the end of the development. We use LED lamps and timers<\/mark><\/strong> and we have studies to analyze transmittance and luminance, which allows for greater comfort for residents and greater energy power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The energy intensity rate, in 2022, was 10.28 Kwh\/m2 \u2013 it considers the consumption of all works in the year by the built area of the projects delivered. The variation between this year's data on previous years is due to the number of works in progress throughout the year<\/mark><\/strong>. We intended to reduce the accumulated consumption of water and electricity by 5% in the year, but it was not possible due to the large volume of works in the finishing phase. Due to this factor, we ended the year with a 15% increase in energy consumption.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
