SUSTAINABILITY CRITERIA
Characteristics:
Energy efficiency has been very present in the design of the project:
- In Alta Gràcia, all the flats have exterior rooms that maximize natural light in the interiors and offer a greater ventilation of the spaces.
- To make the most of this natural light, Alta Gràcia construction unveils an innovative rounded-shaped building, which brings warmth to the interiors during all the seasons, reducing in this way energy dependency.
- Alta Gràcia has a spacious interior courtyard, open from the first floor, to ensure safe and adequate ventilation and natural light.
- The result is a homely, quiet and safe 11 apartment’s building.
Facilities:
Alta Gràcia’s facilities are designed with the aim of avoiding thermal loss, maintaining interior comfort, and guaranteeing superior acoustic insulation.
-
- The building is equipped with aerothermal technology, an excellent heating and water circulation system that reduces energy waste. This air-to-water heat system is based on heat generators that recover thermal energy from the air.
- Thanks to Alta Gràcia’s excellent soundproofing, with double-glazed windows, the flats are completely soundproof and, at the same time, better isolated from the outside weather conditions.
- Efficient air-conditioning system in the 11 flats in Alta Gràcia, which is an outstanding example of environmental energy efficiency.
- An internal electrical programming system that helps to optimise consumption and reduce energy waste, favouring control.
- Alta Gràcia’s smart lift, which has a “sleep” function, reducing unnecessary community electricity consumption.
Materials:
- In the construction of Alta Gràcia we chose local materials, which reduce the carbon footprint in transport.
- Local suppliers have been selected due to their implication in reducing environmental impact during the construction process.
- We have given priority to local companies when signing the agreements with development and construction companies.
