Characteristics
The Repsol Campus consists of four horizontal buildings surrounding a spacious garden, the complex is characterized by an intelligent building with large glass facades, which enables optimal use of natural light in all areas of the campus. The project was conceived with sustainability standards, careful use of recycled materials, the use of alternative energy sources, as well as accessibility for people with limited capacities and geographical location of the enclosure. Details such as water use were considered for designing the central garden, irrigation equipment using low power, as well as own facilities in the region of Madrid and the construction of an underground tank with a capacity of 250,000 liters which collects water rain for the maintenance of green spaces. In the internal spaces ambient temperature is controlled by a climate monitoring system that constantly checks the indicators to maintain a comfortable temperature for employees and visitors. The parking system (priority for management positions, hybrid or electric cars) is also automated so that it frees parking spaces when they are not being used and allows other workers to use of them. The pioneer construction in its kind, obtained the LEED-NC Certification in the Platinum category, certificate given to buildings that have been entirely designed and built with high sustainability criteria.
