We help you implement mitigation strategies that allow you to stay up to date with regulations and minimize the risks arising from a high level of emissions, moving towards sustainable operations and compliance with the most demanding policies.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;Carbon footprint&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;Footprint&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1738586802818{padding-top: 2% !important;padding-right: 2% !important;padding-bottom: 2% !important;padding-left: 2% !important;background-color: #B7EAA54D !important;border-radius: 5px !important;}&#8221;]Operational carbon footprint<\/p>\n<p>We calculate and monitor the carbon footprint of your building. This detailed monitoring is essential to establish clear emissions reduction goals, measure progress and ensure that your building meets the requirements for environmental certifications.<\/p>\n<p>These emissions are divided into direct emissions, such as those derived from the use of fossil fuels on site, and indirect emissions, such as those associated with electricity consumption or the transport of goods and people. Measuring and managing this footprint is essential to identify areas for improvement and align with global decarbonization commitments.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;Material sourcing&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;Materials&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1738586846670{padding-top: 2% !important;padding-right: 2% !important;padding-bottom: 2% !important;padding-left: 2% !important;background-color: #B7EAA54D !important;border-radius: 5px !important;}&#8221;]Use of sustainable materials<\/p>\n<p>We advise you on the selection of sustainable and responsible materials for the construction and maintenance of the building, evaluating the origin and impact of each resource used. These materials include recycled, recyclable, locally sourced or certified options. In this way, we guarantee construction and operation that comply with the principles of the circular economy, reducing environmental impact and ensuring that the materials meet sustainability standards.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][\/vc_tta_pageable][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;no&#8221; type=&#8221;full_width&#8221; angled_section=&#8221;no&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; background_image_as_pattern=&#8221;without_pattern&#8221;][vc_column][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>What is the Zero Energy Building classification and how can we help you achieve it?<\/h2>\n<p>Achieving a Zero Energy Building means that all the energy it consumes is generated on site, using 100% renewable sources. This ambitious goal is key to reducing environmental impact and fostering a more sustainable future. With our assistance and experience in sustainability, we help you turn your building into a Zero Energy Building, implementing strategic solutions in every aspect.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>What measures do we take to achieve this level of classification?<\/h2>\n<p>Renewable energy: We design and install solar, wind or other renewable energy systems that adapt to the characteristics of your building. These systems allow you to generate the energy needed to operate without resorting to external sources, reducing both consumption and carbon emissions.<\/p>\n<p>Envelope improvements: We optimize the building envelope (walls, windows, ceilings and floors) to maximize energy efficiency. We apply advanced insulation and passive design materials and techniques that minimize heat loss in winter and gain in summer, significantly reducing energy demand.<\/p>\n<p>Monitoring: We implement advanced monitoring systems to manage and analyse energy consumption and generation in real time. With this information, we can detect opportunities for improvement and adjust consumption based on generation, maintaining energy efficiency and helping to avoid waste.<\/p>\n<p>Sustainable mobility: We integrate sustainable mobility solutions such as charging stations for electric vehicles and promote infrastructure for active transport, such as bicycles and scooters. This supports sustainability both in the building and its surroundings and contributes to an overall reduction in emissions.<\/p>\n<p>Education and awareness: We know that the success of a zero-energy building also depends on those who occupy it. We carry out workshops and educational programmes to raise awareness about the efficient use of resources, encouraging good energy practices and responsible care of spaces.<\/p>\n<p>Circular economy: We apply circular economy principles in each phase of the building&#8217;s life cycle. From the selection of recycled and recyclable materials to waste management, we promote sustainable practices that minimise environmental impact and optimise the use of resources.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;no&#8221; type=&#8221;full_width&#8221; angled_section=&#8221;no&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; background_image_as_pattern=&#8221;without_pattern&#8221;][vc_column][vc_empty_space][vc_text_separator title=&#8221;Another services&#8221; border=&#8221;no&#8221;][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;no&#8221; type=&#8221;full_width&#8221; angled_section=&#8221;no&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; background_image_as_pattern=&#8221;without_pattern&#8221; gap=&#8221;10&#8243; equal_height=&#8221;yes&#8221; z_index=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;]<a  itemprop=\"url\" href=\"\/en\/esg-asset-optimization\/\" target=\"_self\"  class=\"qbutton  default boton-largo\" style=\"\">ESG ASSET OPTIMIZXATION<\/a>[vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;]<a  itemprop=\"url\" href=\"\/en\/sustainable-construction\/\" target=\"_self\"  class=\"qbutton  default boton-largo\" style=\"\">GREEN CONSTRUCTION<\/a>[vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;]<a  itemprop=\"url\" href=\"\/en\/monitoring\/\" target=\"_self\"  class=\"qbutton  default boton-largo\" style=\"\">BUILDING MONITORING<\/a>[vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;]<a  itemprop=\"url\" href=\"\/en\/site\/\" target=\"_self\"  class=\"qbutton  default boton-largo\" style=\"\">SITE &amp; LOCATION<\/a>[vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;no&#8221; type=&#8221;full_width&#8221; angled_section=&#8221;no&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; background_image_as_pattern=&#8221;without_pattern&#8221;][vc_column][vc_column_text][\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;no&#8221; type=&#8221;full_width&#8221; angled_section=&#8221;no&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; background_image_as_pattern=&#8221;without_pattern&#8221; content_placement=&#8221;top&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1729763298046{background-color: #F6FCF200 !important;border-radius: 10px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;] Driving a carbon-free future Decarbonisation is the process of reducing, offsetting and eventually eliminating greenhouse gas emissions associated with our activities.
