    When budgets are tight, I focus on smart, simple choices like using more natural light, good insulation, and locally sourced materials. Even small steps, like planning for future upgrades or choosing recycled products, can make a real difference. Sustainability is about making thoughtful decisions, not just spending more. Every little bit helps the planet and the budget.

    One can achieve sustainability with various modes. Usage of good quality local materials can reduce travel costs for imports; the by-products from materials can be used as an aesthetic feature; relying on passive design strategies as well as nature driven energy management sources can reduce the usage of high consuming applicables; the site landscaping feature can be lowered down by using natural vegetation.

    Me parece que una buena estrategia es hacer un plan que muestre como las decisiones sobre la elección de materiales y el empleo de sistemas pasivos a lo largo de la vida del edificio pueden impactar positivamente en los costos de mantenimiento del mismo. Independientemente de eso sabemos que el presupuesto es el que manda, así que lo que propongo para lograr la propuesta arquitectónica es respaldarlo con alianzas con proveedores locales tanto de materiales como de servicios que nos permitan mantener costos adecuados a lo largo de la ejecución del proyecto
