The combination of glass, parasols and walls in Vitalmex Corporativo M\u00e9xico reduces solar thermal gain without compromising daylight. In addition, an electric load reduction strategy for lighting was implemented and the optimization of the air conditioning system efficiency, without compromising the quality of the ventilation, was sought. All the above, achieved savings of 18% in the total energy cost of the building.<\/p>\n

Neither the refrigerants used in Vitalmex Corporativo M\u00e9xico nor its firefighting system use substances harmful to the ozone layer, such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), or halons.<\/p>\n

Vitalmex Corporativo M\u00e9xico purchased Renewable Energy Certificates (REC’s) for 338 megawatt hour (Green-e certified). Each REC represents the environmental benefits of generating one megawatt hour from renewable energy. This purchase represents 43% of building\u2019s energy consumption for two years.[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”INDOOR ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text]The well-being and quality of life of the building\u2019s occupants was one of the major goals considered in Vitalmex Corporativo M\u00e9xico\u2019s design phase.<\/p>\n

The building\u2019s systems provide 30%\u00a0additional outside air than required in ASHRAE 62.1-2004 standard, improving occupants\u2019 comfort, well-being, and productivity. In addition, the project’s air conditioning was design according to ASHRAE 55 thermal comfort standard, allowing an optimum degree of comfort, health, and productivity for the occupants.<\/p>\n

An\u00a0indoor\u00a0air\u00a0quality\u00a0management\u00a0plan was conducted during\u00a0the\u00a0construction\u00a0of the building. With this plan,\u00a0contaminants and odors spread\u00a0were avoided.\u00a0Contact between absorbent materials (such as gypsum board)\u00a0and\u00a0moisture\u00a0was avoided\u00a0to prevent mold growth.<\/p>\n

Vitalmex Corporativo M\u00e9xico\u2019s interiors design allows 99% of regularly occupied spaces to have access to outside views, and 87% of regularly occupied spaces to have access to daylight, which increases the quality of the workspace and occupants\u2019 well-being.[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”WATER EFFICIENCY” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text]100% of wastewater is treated in Vitalmex Corporativo M\u00e9xico and re-used within the building, and therefore, there are no sewage discharges to the city drainage. In addition, with a strategy that combines high-efficiency water fixtures and fittings, and treated water use, 78% of indoor potable water use is reduced. The plant species were chosen to reduce irrigation by 79%. All the before mentioned, compared to typical water consumption of a corporate building. These savings not only contribute to environmental conservation, but also reduce the pressure upon the water supply systems and wastewater infrastructure.[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”MATERIALS AND RESOURCES” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text]Vitalmex Corporativo M\u00e9xico resulted from the renovation of an existing building. The project reused 97.21% of the existing structural elements, mitigating environmental impacts such as: generation of demolition waste, demand for raw materials and renewable resources, and construction materials transportation (greenhouse gas emissions).<\/p>\n

75% of waste generated during Vitalmex Corporativo M\u00e9xico\u2019s construction was diverted from landfill, it was sent to sites dedicated to recovery and recycling.<\/p>\n

4.12% of construction materials (cost-based) derived from rapidly renewable sources, which reduces the pressure on long-term renewable and non-renewable resources.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″]

The building is located within 50 meters, and 322 meters, from two public bus stops served by various routes. In addition, it is located within an area with basic services at a walking distance. The before mentioned, means that for people working in Vitalmex Corporativo M\u00e9xico it is not essential to use the car to commute to work or carry out various activities near the building. Additionally, the building has 28 bicycle racks, and 6 preferred parking spaces for low-emitting and fuel-efficient vehicles.<\/p>\n

Vitalmex Corporativo M\u00e9xico also complies with natural habitat protection requirements, it has 8, square meters of green areas, with different species. An additional benefit of the green areas is the reduction of the heat island effect. The environmental benefits, derived from the above-mentioned strategies are: reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, improvement in health and quality of life of occupants, conservation of the natural habitat of the area, and reduction of the heat island effect that occurs in cities.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section][vc_row][vc_column]
