Expansion and refurbishment of the headquarters of the Region of Murcia Official Gazette, Murcia

Ecoproyecta

The aim of this project was to refurbish a building constructed in 2001, to adapt it to new functional needs, but also to improve its energy efficiency, thermal comfort and quality of life for the people who work in it. The sustainable construction strategies used can be summed up in these points:

- Integration of a 100kW photovoltaic installation which, as well as producing enough electricity to cover the building's demand, filters solar radiation and collects rainwater.

- Sustainable management of water, with the aim of achieving zero consumption of non-drinking water, by collecting rainwater and condensation water from the climate control system.

- Optimisation of the use of sunlight, making the most of natural light, whilst at the same time filtering the excess solar radiation to prevent overheating.

- Creation of a microclimate in the interior courtyard, with a garden of native species from the Mediterranean riverside ecosystem, making it the bioclimatic heart of the building.
