Certificates for sustainable building construction

According to data collected by the INE, the average water consumption in Spanish households is 132 litres per person per day. According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), a shower represents 34% of water consumption in our homes. Our challenge is to achieve a reduction in consumption and at the same time continue to provide the highest levels of comfort.

A building with energy sustainability certification has significant economic benefits for users (reducing energy consumption by 50-70% and water consumption by up to 40%). These are voluntary certifications, based on criteria to achieve highly efficient sustainable buildings. This sustainability system can contribute to healthier living and working environments and ecosystems.
