Sustainability – Vizcaya12

Sustainability

Built for the comfort and convenience of future tenants, the concept developed by the experienced architectural firm Alonso Balaguer Architects & Associates is set to achieve a LEED Platinum and WELL Platinum certification.

By integrating the factors of sustainability, health, and well-being in the workplace, we are not only demonstrating how we believe the office of the future should be designed, but above all we are offering our community of tenants a pleasant working atmosphere in an attractive and innovative environment.

By integrating the factors of sustainability, health and well-being in the workplace, we are not only demonstrating how we believe the office of the future should be designed, but above all we are offering our community of tenants a pleasant working atmosphere in an attractive and innovative environment.

Designed with high quality sustainable materials such as cradle2cradle high transmittance glass for the new façade, maximising natural daylight in all open plan office spaces, while implementing high energy efficient installations, Vizcaya12 will comply to the highest Leed Gold and WELL Platinum standards.

What is LEED?

A system of certifying sustainable buildings, developed by the US Green Building Council in America which consists of a set of rules about the use of strategies aimed at the sustainability of these types of buildings, that recognize the construction of spaces along with the environment, and that its design allows the efficient use of natural resources.

We are WELL!

The WELL certification is a dynamic rating system for buildings and communities that enables the characteristics of the built spaces that impact the health and well-being of its occupants to be identified, measured and monitored. It is a certification that places value on aspects such as lighting, temperature or even people's mood. .
