Project
Sustainable Strategy Planning
The project implemented construction plans to avoid soil, air and water contamination, protect the health of workers and future occupants, and reduce construction waste going to the landfill.
The VLT and area of the skylights were analyzed to define the threshold that would best favor natural lighting levels and prevent heat from entering through the roof.
Different interior and exterior lighting designs were analyzed for efficiency, compliance with regulatory lighting levels, and integration of the automatic control solution.
The project's rainwater management proposal was reviewed to return the water to the hydrological cycle even if the soil has low permeability.
