A Campus designed with energy efficiency in mind
Iberdrola Campus for Innovation and Training, a 180,000 m2 complex with all the latest facilities in San Agustín del Guadalix (Madrid), comprises a collection of functional, sustainable and independent buildings, which are interconnected with a top roof structure that "flies" over the buildings. Such a roofing structure or canopy generates a bio-climate inside, reducing the cold and hot water production for cooling and heating the buildings, as it minimises the thermal load generated on the façades. In addition, it results in a significant reduction in the atmospheric emissions of CO2.
The Campus also implements specific measures to reduce the use of water. A system has been established to collect rainwater, which will be used for watering and hosing the complex, as well as a system that collects and treats the grey water from the hall of residence for its sanitary use. It also features a 100-kW photovoltaic panel installation for self-generation and a solar thermal system for domestic hot water covering a surface area of 400 m2, as well as 60 charging points for electric vehicles.
Additional sustainability and energy efficiency measures have been implemented in these buildings, such as the meticulous choice of plant species, high-efficiency lighting systems that can reduce consumption by 20 % and bathroom fittings that cut potable water consumption by around 50 % compared with conventional equipment.
These sustainability innovations have earned the Campus the LEED Gold 2009 [PDF] External link, opens in new window. certification, which is awarded by the U. S. Green Building Council. Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) is the most widely used green building rating system in the world and recognises the most healthy, highly efficient and cost-saving green structures.
Campus training
In addition to the advanced architecture, the Campus facilities include classrooms and workshops to contribute to the professional development of young people in the electricity sector. One of the initiatives carried out at the complex is the Plan Jóvenes - Profesionales del Futuro en el Sector Eléctrico [PDF]*, aimed at students and graduates of vocational training in Spain.
