ACTIVITY RELATED TO LOW GHG AND ENERGY CONSUMPTION AND RESILIENT BUILDINGS

We aim to contribute to the positive transformation and development of cities and the regions through a set of urban solutions serving a smart city vision, and the application of high-impact state-of-the-art technologies. Our activity in the construction ecosystem focuses on energy efficiency, building industrialization and automation, life extension of buildings and infrastructures, urban regeneration and digitalization of the construction sector.
According to our commitment with a people-centred urban model aligned with the 2030 UN Sustainable Development Goals, we have worked for more than 20 years implementing energy efficiency projects in the built environment at local, regional and global levels. We have developed zero energy concepts for positive buildings and have international recognized experience both in the integration of innovative and sustainable solutions and in the design and development of digital twin tools for energy analysis, monitoring and managing.
