thermal comfort we work mainly on the
following factors:
1. Thermal insulation: thermally
2. Waterproofing: the capacity of an
enclosure to prevent the entry of water
and wind. Sealing is an imperative in
our designs.
protecting the room helps to preserve
3. Ventilation: the ability of the
enclosures to control the exchange of
air with the exterior. Ventilation renews
and improves air quality.
4. Solar gain: the amount of heat
obtained by a body when exposed
to solar radiation. This factor can be
improved by controlling the proportion
between the glazed surface, the type
of glazing, etc.

ENERGY EFFICIENCY
A good design, using the right materials
and enclosures, drastically reduces
the energy consumption of a building
and its carbon footprint. Our enclosures
guarantee energy efficiency by
working on:
1. Lighting: Increasing the amount of
natural light greatly reduces electricity
consumption.
2. Air conditioning: The correct choice
of materials helps us achieve a high
degree of thermal comfort without the
help of other mechanical systems
