What do you think when we talk about sustainable architecture? The first word you probably know is because architecture is everywhere you look around, from buildings, houses, interior design, etc. Architecture is the combination of art and technique that creates, improves, and shapes physical aspects of the spaces of the human being.
But What is sustainable architecture?
It’s the architecture that reduces the resources consumption, for example, gas, electricity, and water, because this architecture implements an isolating material that maintains a nice temperature in the house during the whole year.
Sustainable architecture has also the purpose to reduce dioxide carbon emissions, beginning by choosing the right materials, so they can be renewable, recyclable, and used in a responsible and well-planned manner, this way less energy will be used during the process.
Additionally, this architecture focuses on having the right orientation for the building and windows, so it can take advantage of natural lighting and heat, and there won’t be any need to use air conditioning or heating systems, and as a result, saving 30% of your money.
Another advantage, besides helping the planet, is the quality of life for people.
What does this mean?
It means that it also brings comfort and peace of mind because these spaces were built with high-performance materials (windows, floors, walls, doors, and ceilings) which reduces 90% of outside noises.
Another way to enrich the quality of life for people is heat recovery ventilation which reduces odors, air pollutants, and humidity.
Sustainable architecture is the present and the future, as well as smart solutions because sustainable architecture optimizes resources, while smart solutions make your life more practical and efficient and help the planet at the same time.
What are we talking about?
We’re talking about Alxedo Smart water, the first ecosystem that offers you transparency in the quality of your water by using a mobile app.
By using this solution, you know how much CO2 and plastic you are saving, which results in clear consciousness because you’re helping the planet.
At the same time, it brings you calmness because you’re drinking pure water, and it feels like you’re drinking from spring water.
A splendid example of this architecture is the passive houses, which combines ingenious and different design that is changing the way architecture has been seen, beginning with the creation of the “Building envelope” which consist in building walls, ceilings, floors, doors, and windows, efficiently, so thermal comfort can be achieved.
What does thermal comfort mean?
Having the optimal levels of thermal insulation, high-performance windows, and doors, that reduce the loss of heat, and mechanical ventilation with heat recovery. So, with this type of house, the carbon footprint can be reduced.
What does Alxedo have in common with passive houses?
The mission. Alxedo has a sustainability mission so aligned with the passive house model that is looking to consolidate strategic alliances that help creating a more sustainable culture for Mexico, for our planet earth.
Because, to make some changes, it’s essential to take a firm, full of passion and strategic step, which cares about the world, and cares about you.
