BIOCLIMATIC ARCHITECTURE
PROJECT
Lasal del Varador is built following the principles of bioclimatic architecture. This way, we reduce and optimize the amount of energy needed in the development of our activity. By using resources more efficiently, we achieve an activity that is more respectful of the environment and significant savings in costs.
CROSS VENTILATION – ORIENTATION
The building has natural cross ventilation between the two façades, which facilitates efficient air circulation. The southeast orientation allows us to make the most of solar energy in winter. The mobile overhangs provide shade in summer.
Bioclimatic Architecture
Lasal del Varador has been built following the principles of bioclimatic architecture. This type of architecture allows for better use of natural resources, such as the sun and air, to heat, cool, or ventilate spaces without the need to use energies other than renewable ones.
ECOLOGICAL MATERIALS – VEGETATION
When building Lasal, we sought the best balance between ecology and durability. The choice has been the most sustainable, although not all materials are ecological, as we have opted to extend the life of the materials as much as possible, given that they are exposed to high air salinity. The exterior plants act as a thermal control element: in summer, they block lateral solar radiation and cool and oxygenate the environment.
