Sustainable Construction is Present in our Espígul Houses and Apartment Promotions

Sustainable construction has become an essential focus in the building sector. It not only contributes to the care of the environment, but also offers economic and social benefits. In this article, we will tell you about the key aspects of sustainable and efficient construction, focusing on how a house and apartment construction company can embrace this philosophy.

negative impact of buildings on the environment. Mainly, it focuses on promoting responsible and efficient practices in the use of resources and materials used for construction. Also, the energy efficiency comes into play, since if we build sustainably, we ensure that our homes are more energy efficient.

• • Optimization of solar orientation: Maximize the use of solar energy and natural light through proper orientation of the home in relation to the solar cycle.

• • Energy efficiency and renewable sources: Energy efficiency and the use of renewable energy sources are crucial to reduce environmental impact and long-term costs.

• • Ecological and local materials: The choice of ecological and locally sourced building materials contributes to sustainability and reduces the carbon footprint.
• • Economic viability: It is essential that sustainable construction projects are profitable from an economic perspective.

Now you know what sustainable construction is and that it refers to the practice of designing, building and maintaining buildings using techniques that are environmentally responsible and efficient in terms of resources.

So we only need to specify the list of sustainable materials most commonly used in sustainable construction:

• • Certified Wood: Wood from certified forests guarantees that it comes from sustainable and well-managed sources.

• • Recycled Materials: Using recycled materials such as glass, metal, plastic and recycled wood reduces the demand for natural resources.

• • Ecological Insulation: Materials such as sheep’s wool, hemp, and recycled cellulose are sustainable options for thermal insulation.

• • Low Carbon Footprint Concrete: Forms of concrete are being developed that require less energy to produce, which reduces the carbon emissions associated with its manufacture.

• • Ecological Paints and Coatings: Water-based paints with low levels of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are better for indoor air quality.

• • Solar Tiles: Combines the function of roofing with the ability to generate solar energy.

• • Renewable Energy Systems: Solar panels, wind turbines and geothermal systems can make buildings more sustainable by using renewable energy.

• • Efficient Lighting: Use LED lighting and lighting control systems to reduce energy consumption.
   

• • Sustainable Landscaping: Choosing native and drought-resistant plants can reduce the need for irrigation and intensive maintenance.

• • Waste Management Systems: Implement systems for sorting and recycling construction and demolition waste.

• • Automation Technology: Implement automation systems for energy management, heating, cooling and other aspects of the home to optimize energy consumption.

In Espígul we are committed to sustainable materials and construction techniques, the environmental impact of buildings can be reduced and more responsible practices in the construction industry can be promoted.
