Energy Efficiency | Maximizing the Use of Natural Resources

Some of the key places to reduce energy consumption are in households and offices. 80% of the global energy consumed corresponds to these sectors. Now, achieving a space with energy efficiency does not imply having to risk the comfort and welcoming atmosphere of homes and other spaces.

Sustainability

Buildings that opt for elements that reduce energy demand and consumption are based on:

01 | PASSIVE HOUSE MODEL

Achieving a Passive House-style of living, where space design starts with achieving proper orientation to utilize natural resources such as solar energy and natural ventilation.

002 | Techniques for Reduced Energy

Incorporating architectural techniques that help achieve energy efficiency: incorporating thermal insulation throughout the thermal envelope (facades, roofs, and floors), using highly efficient windows with solar protection, and eliminating thermal bridges where insulation continuity is lost; weak points where a lot of energy is lost.

003 | Efficient Technology

Incorporating technologies (hot water supplies, electricity, or appliances) with high energy efficiency or that consume a large part of renewable energy, in order to maintain thermal comfort inside spaces and reduce the consumption of non-renewable energy.

004 | Low-Impact Materials

Using materials with lower climate impact, which are not of low quality, in the construction of buildings and homes, so that no waste is generated, achieving a balance between construction and the enjoyment of natural resources in architecture.

The latter is one of the main objectives of the architectural sector: to achieve the lowest possible environmental impact when producing any type of construction. Currently, there is a growing advocacy for the idea of nature as both an objective and a means in architecture.
