Construction regulation in Mexico Municipalities (autonomous) have the authority to enact construction regulation. •

Most local regulations do not address energy efficiency so its adoption is voluntary

•

Federal government issues technical regulation known as NOM (Official Standards) for efficient use of energy in buildings (natural lighting, adequate ventilation, or restrictive use of glass) however they are

not

currently included in the local construction regulations.

Sustainability policies in INFONAVIT INFONAVIT is the biggest mortgage bank in Mexico, issuing around 350k mortgages per year, thus we take advantage of our size and scope to create a conforming market • We have implemented mortgage-origination policies to promote energy efficiency in construction • New housing that intends to be financed through Infonavit must comply with certain construction criteria.

Green Mortgage Objectives Houses financed through Infonavit must fulfil some energy efficiency criteria in their construction materials and characteristics (baseline), otherwise they are not eligible for credit. Infonavit grants an additional loan amount added to the mortgage to buy a house with energy-efficient technologies.

Benefits • Savings by reducing the consumption of water, gas and electricity. • Increase in house equity value.

Base Line (Not Financed) Energy savings: • Saving Lights (FCL) + LED • Roof thermal insulation • Gas heaters

Water Savings • Ecologic grade toilet • Ecologic grade watering can

Additional technologies (Green Mortgages additional amount) Energy savings : Water Savings • A/C • Rainwater collection • Fridges system • Washing machines • Stove Heat reduction measures • Thermal insulator in 1 or 2 walls • Reflective coating on roof and wall • Double glazing windows

SISEVIVE (Environmental performance evaluation) SISEVIVE is a tool to evaluate environmental performance of houses financed with our loans. The tool compares efficiency of an specific house vs a Base line • Evaluate thermal comfort and its impact on

energy demand • Estimate water consumption based on devices that use water (toilets, shower, washing machine, laundry room)

SISEVIVE provides a bigger rating to those houses with lower demand of energy and water compared to a reference home. 8
