SUSTAINABILITY STRATEGY
Due to the favorable climate conditions throughout the year, with no seasons because of the proximity to the equator line, the altitude of Pitalito and to take advantage of this, in order to be more environmental friendly and to save energy, most of the core & shell project is naturally ventilated based on a bioclimatic design which including an optimal lighting design and some elements such as occupancy sensors, determine a 16 % of theproject energy savings. The water consumption reach a 40% on savings by using waterless urinals, high efficiency water closets and fixtures as well as native vegetation in all over the exteriors. One of the most important sustainable strategies is using materials such as steel and concrete which includes a high percentage of recyclabe material content, regional extraction and manufacture.
