Abstract

Introduction: Sustainable materials for construction are those that have a minimal environmental impact in their production and life cycle, and that favor the reduction of polluting emissions and energy savings. Materials and methods: To develop this research, a bibliographic review was carried out, and those chosen were considering that the databases used showed reliable data, were also written in Spanish and were less than 5 years old. Finally, 35 articles were selected; the vast majority of scientific articles were found in Google Scholar and Redalyc, Lilacs and Medline. Results: The results showed that sustainable materials for building homes and buildings have the fundamental characteristic that they are recyclable, reusable and do not have components that contain toxicity. On the other hand, obtaining them does not require a high cost of energy and natural resources, when compared to the use of conventional materials. Discussion: Some examples of sustainable materials used in construction are wood from responsible logging, cellulose obtained from waste paper, cork, sheep wool, baked clay, bamboo and natural paints. Conclusions: It was concluded that sustainable construction materials do not require a high cost of energy and natural resources to obtain them, when compared to the use of conventional materials. Some examples of sustainable materials used in construction are wood from responsible logging, cellulose obtained from waste paper, cork, sheep wool, baked clay, bamboo and natural paints. The implementation of sustainable materials in construction presents different challenges that have to be analyzed and addressed, taking into account important aspects such as cost, availability, awareness and regulations.
