The Sustainable Building Certification System (CES) includes two main phases: Pre-Certification and Certification regarding the compliance of a variable set, with compulsory and voluntary requirements that provide a score, and also contemplates an optional voluntary seal, arranged in the following way: 

• Pre-certified "Sustainable Building": The architecture and facilities of the building are assessed. 

• Certified "Sustainable Building": The architecture, facilities and construction of the building are assessed. 

• Seal "Plus Operation": The management during the operation of the building is assessed.

The general scope of the environmental behavior of a building is assessed in five thematic aspects: 1. Quality of the Indoor Environment 2. Energy 3. Water 4. Waste 5. Management.  These themes have been grouped into four categories: A. Passive Architectural Design (Architecture) B. Active Systems Design (Facilities) C. Construction D. Operation.

The Pre-Certification is mainly established as an assessment instance of the design stage that enables improvement of its architecture and facilities, including possible modifications during the construction stage, and additionally allows the client to make statements validated by a third party regarding the environmental and energy efficiency features of its building, prior to or during its construction.

The CES "Sustainable Building Certification" allows to assess, qualify and certify the environmental behavior of buildings for public use in Chile, both new and existing, without differentiating administration or public or private property.

The system was developed by the Construction Institute with the support and formal participation of 13 public and private entities, gathered with the purpose of encouraging the design and construction of buildings with sustainability criteria, and promoting the market so that it values this type of buildings.
