Abstract
Historically, building and construction sectors have played a significant role in the development of national economies all over the world. There is evidence that building, and construction (B&C) sectors plays a pivotal role in determining quality of life and is a key contribution determinant of cultural identity and heritage. However, over the last 30 years this sector has been the subject of several studies due to the high environmental impact. This paper present an adaptative framework based on Multifunctional Analysis of Regions through Input-Output (MARIO) in Mexico for environmental assessment. The study presents calculation of greenhouse and heavy metal emissions, and its relationship to health hazards. The result shows that the proposed framework has the potential to easily be implemented and the capability to assess all types of sectors. Furthermore, it provides a promising alternative for integral sustainability assessment for regions with lack of tools.
