Green Building
What is Green building?
Green building is a form of construction based primarily on the use of sustainable natural materials and marked energy efficiency.
The objective of green construction is to achieve buildings that respect the environment and the well-being of the user, to obtain buildings with optimum energy efficiency.
Likewise, the type of materials used for the construction of the house or building and the carbon footprint resulting from its manufacture and handling are all relevant. The reuse of resources and the energy generated or obtained from a previous planning that allows the appropriate recycling for each entity.
Green building or bio-construction is a broad process that occupies and involves different concepts such as those mentioned above. We could say that it is an ethical principle an awareness spirit for a global improvement project for all.

as certified
PassivHaus, Class A Certification, BREEAM®, Green Certification. Our BASS SYSTEM® complies with several of the ecological environmental certificates.
In order to facilitate the development and cohesion of this type of construction, different but coherent evaluation methods have been created, the so-called «Certificates». Passivhaus, BREEAM®, WELL, are the best known although there are some more. The difference between them is given by the concepts that score, such as indoor air quality, thermal or acoustic insulation, among others, although they all have a common denominator, efficiency and well-being.

Real estate investment cannot be understood without the direct participation of these principles to the detriment of traditional «brick and mortar» construction.
