PROJECT

Buildings envelope enhances standards required by current legislations and, also trough natural ventilation, it allows significant energy savings with high levels of thermal comfort. The solar protection of facades permits a calibrated use of natural lightening with consequents advantages in energy and environmental comfort. Orientation of volumes, transparent and opaque surfaces are optimized in terms of thermal transmission and inertia. Materials are closely related to environmental sustainability: plasters, panels of facades and elements of external floor adopt the active photo-catalyst principle, in order to bring organic and inorganic pollutants in the air down.
