To reduce the impact of these impacts, the concept of sustainable construction has appeared on the scene, giving rise to green buildings. The environmental certification systems that emerged as a result of these concerns seek to guide and stimulate the adoption of sustainable measures in civil construction. This work aims to conduct a study on sustainable strategies for buildings seeking LEED certification in Colombia. For this objective to be achieved, a list was given, and the sustainable alternatives adopted in a construction that seeks certification were analyzed. This study allows to show the efficiency of these strategies from the environmental point of view as of the contributions to the development of more comfortable spaces.
