Project
Sustainability strategies
- The project incorporated an efficient building envelope, skylights to take advantage of natural lighting, and high-efficiency luminaires with automatic controls indoors and outdoors, representing a 12.1% energy saving compared to a baseline building.
- In water efficiency, the installation of efficient plumbing fixtures reduced indoor water consumption by 54.66%, and the use of native vegetation eliminated the need for outdoor irrigation.
- To promote more sustainable mobility, the project reduced the number of parking spaces relative to the baseline and allocated preferential spaces for carpooling.
- The white roof, with an initial Solar Reflectance Index (SRI) of 72, reduces heat absorption and mitigates the urban heat island effect. In terms of lighting, 78.9% of the regularly occupied area reaches adequate levels using only natural light, reducing the use of artificial lighting.
- During construction, materials with lower environmental impacts were selected, evaluated by their performance throughout the life cycle.
- A LEED Accredited Professional oversaw the project and verified the implementation of the sustainability strategies.
