Sustainable Development Goals
Purposeful analysis of bioclimatic and environmental aspects – Objective: a study of passive and active energy-saving systems
Project funded by the European Commission “Altener Program” to extrapolate and study the incorporation of passive and active energy-saving systems in urban areas.
– Integration in the urban surroundings.
– Use the ventilation patio as a great semi-public space with vegetation, a wind tunnel that canalizes the prevailing winds and creates a microclimate.
– Crossed ventilation in the apartments typologies.
– Façades that, according to its orientation guarantee thermal gains and losses according to the time of the year.
– Green roof with a water tank that stores the rainwater, acts as insulation, regenerates the environmental air, as well as making possible the reusability of the water.
– Use of materials with a sustainable life cycle, avoiding toxic components and using recycled materials.
– Analysis of the manufacturing and placement costs for a study of the energetic savings in the buildings.
– Selective storage of the domestic residues.
– Thermal solar energy. Positioning of collectors.
– Energetic efficient power facilities, centralization of the air conditioning and domestic hot water.
– Water-saving devices.
