Pioneers in eco-efficient homes

All ACCIONA Real Estate projects incorporate sustainability principles, in line with one of the company’s main goals - to protect the environment. To do so, it follows three major lines of action: energy efficiency, efficient use of water, and clean construction and sustainable design.

ACCIONA Real Estate buildings are always designed to save energy, and feature materials and devices that ensure overall energy efficiency, limiting heating demand through passive insulation techniques and materials. Bioclimatic architecture technologies are used, as too are efficient heating and air conditioning systems, renewable energies –solar thermal, among others- regulating and automation systems, efficient lighting –low-consumption lights and timers-, energy efficient electrical appliances (A, A++) and low-consumption elevators.

To ensure the efficient use of water, buildings feature faucets with shut-off valves and double-flushing cisterns, while gardens and grounds are fitted with automated watering systems, native plants and recycling and reuse systems for gray water and rainwater for watering communal areas.

ACCIONA Real Estate builds using all the latest advances in habitability and accessibility, improvements in acoustics and ventilation, easy maintenance and efficient construction systems. It uses materials that have a low impact on the environment, through life-cycle analysis and by using environmentally certified recycled materials and FSC-approved wood.
