The challenge

Replicate and improve on the performance of Espai Natura I in a second development, optimising the envelope and systems to further reduce the building's energy use and emissions.

Our approach

End-to-end project management, Verde GBCe certification process and publication of "Understanding Espai Natura II". Refinement of the industrialised construction solution inherited from phase I.

The results

A-rated energy performance with non-renewable primary energy use of 18.48 kWh/m²/year and emissions of 3.31 kg CO₂/m²/year. A 20% improvement on phase I in energy consumption.
