Energy Refurbishments
Most of the buildings we inhabit, use or enjoy have been built long time ago, when the environmental comfort was very different than nowadays. In this sense, as a building can be completely refurbished, we can also do it in the energy way. Improvements over the envelope, the installations systems and the use efficiency allow the building to reach a lower consume with a better environmental quality indoors.
ARCHITECTURAL INTEGRATED INTERVENTION
The interventions related to an energy refurbishment are applied over constructive elements (facades, roofs, windows, etc.) and installations systems, which usually belong to an individual owner or a community. Treating the intervention as a joint action means a great opportunity to turn the image of the building into an interesting architectural result.
PROJECT MANAGEMENT
The refurbishments, which usually are made in high consolidated environments, can change urban parameters. The management with the government can be extremely complicated, exceeding the simple processing of the license, but if it is done by the appropriated technical team, good results can be obtained so as to convince the government, the promoter and the users.
GRANT MANAGEMENT
The investment in an energy refurbishment can be regained through the energy efficiency grants that many autonomous governments confer. If a qualified technical team manages these subventions, a good result is guaranteed in their transaction.
