Circular design considers the reuse of construction and demolition waste as raw material. In this way, in each project, whether new construction or refurbishment, an evaluation is made of which materials can be recovered, recycled and/or recyclable. Whenever possible, custom modular construction is used to facilitate dismantling and thus extend the life cycle.
The project has been conceived based on a public competition and a rigorous citizen participation process, where politicians, urban planners, municipal works and maintenance technicians, local entities and citizens have been part of the design decisions proposed by ROA. This public facility will be the first that will meet the criteria of a building with almost zero energy consumption at the municipal level and there has always been a clear desire to improve in terms of sustainability, circularity and net positive impact.
Energy savings are achieved by incorporating cutting-edge systems in sustainability that guarantee the comfort of users through very low demand and the incorporation of very high efficiency energy production equipment.
