In a historic period in which the climatic crisis is becoming more threatening than ever, actions need to be taken to reduce the emissions in every possible human activity. One of the measures in the construction sector is the adoption of sustainable building certifications on a voluntary basis, whose results are expressed with a very simple grading that clearly shows everyone how much a building is green. However, such protocols currently lack in considering seismicity and the relative resistance to earthquakes. The current codes are providing buildings that are safe against seismic actions with the aim of avoiding human life losses, but they do not consider many attempts for reducing the damages inflicted to the structure.
