This research aimed to identify the current use of sustainable construction criteria and their assessment, for the development of real estate housing projects in Lima Metropolitana. The instrument used for this purpose was a questionnaire based on the Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED) v4 system, developed by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC). The population consisted of 14 real estate companies who develop and construct housing projects in Lima Metropolitana, and are part of the Asociación de Desarrolladores Inmobiliarios (ADI). The research results showed that the surveyed companies consider, for their project developments, the use of sustainable building practices, whose implementation is mainly due to commercial factors. In addition, all surveyed companies assessed as important the inclusion of sustainable construction criteria for the development of housing projects, although they indicated that they lack incentives to encourage its development. According results, the use of sustainable construction criteria focuses on implementing sustainability strategies related to: (a) efficient use of water, (b) efficient use of energy, and (c) sustainable sites. Among the main barriers that prevent sustainable construction in our country, we have: (a) the investment cost overruns; (b) lack of sustainable construction programs that promote fiscal, tax and funding incentives to attract new investments; and (c) lack of knowledge about the benefits of sustainable construction. On the other hand, the companies interviewed mentioned that their customers do not value incorporating sustainable building practices in their projects, even less in the case of social housing, where the demand is very sensitive to cost increments. Therefore, the application of sustainable construction solutions not only depends on the government actions, but also of companies and customers who should act responsibly towards the environment and society.
