Health and
Sustainability

We ensure that the organization, distribution, and placement of elements are correct to guarantee factors such as the treatment of artificial and natural light, temperature, air circulation, and proper acoustics. These factors have a significant impact on the physical and health well-being of individuals. That’s why they are carefully considered in our constructions.

Clean air 

Clean air is the primary premise we must consider when discussing healthy spaces. In our environments, thanks to double-flow ventilation, the air remains fresh, clean, free of odors, and with CO2 levels similar to those of the outdoor space.

Optimal humidity 

It is important to maintain an optimal relative humidity for the protection of mucous membranes and disease prevention, as excessively dry environments facilitate the presence of electrostatic fields, which can end up being harmful to our organism. Therefore, we strive to ensure humidity levels between 40% and 60% in our projects.

Electric and magnetic fields 

We perform work on the distribution of the electrical network and its treatment to ensure that electric and magnetic fields do not pose any problems. Additionally, with the inclusion of the Bio-Switch device, the flow of electrical current in rooms is disabled while we are resting, activating it only when needed, thus reducing exposure impact.

Aspects such as acoustic comfort, thermal comfort, lighting comfort, water treatment, air treatment, and the management of waves and fields contribute to achieving a level of environmental comfort and well-being designed for healthy spaces in our projects.

Efficiency must be accompanied by solutions, systems, and materials that can be considered sustainable. Therefore, we have achieved an excellent level of efficiency within a self-imposed framework where sustainability takes precedence.

Temperature leaks under control 

The absence of thermal bridges enhances the performance of the energy elements used. This means that with minimal temperature leaks, both the heat and cold we generate will stay within the dwelling, resulting in lower energy consumption to achieve optimal and stable temperature and humidity levels.

Motion detectors and LED technology 

The majority of our projects are designed so that in their common areas, using sensors that activate upon detecting motion, we save energy by avoiding unnecessary lighting, also incorporating lighting installations with LED technology that generate lower consumption levels.

Energy harnessing 

Also forming part of this comprehensive solution, our projects are designed taking into account aerothermal systems (which harness the energy contained in the air) and the use of hot water radiant floor heating systems (consisting of a network of cross-linked plastic pipes, PEX, that runs beneath the floor throughout the entire dwelling).

Our goal is to achieve the desired sense of environmental comfort through a set of parameters (temperature, humidity, CO2 levels, lux, decibels), reducing energy demand as much as possible and addressing this demand with systems and solutions of minimal consumption.

We specify measures and solutions that can be incorporated into the project to generate the least possible impact.

Material selection with criteria 

In our commitment to sustainability, we strive to use materials that align with the principles of economic circularity. This means that, from the extraction and/or production process through construction to potential deconstruction, we aim to generate little to no waste. It’s worth noting that the percentage of closed-loop materials is still relatively low.

Ready for Electric Vehicles 

To promote electric mobility, some of our projects feature pre-installed infrastructure to connect charging plugs in the garages.

This working methodology allows us to construct in a healthier and more sustainable manner, ensuring the health, comfort, and well-being of the occupants, always considering the available budget, location, and the building’s intended use.

At Marcove, we place the user at the center of the experience, ensuring their comfort while respecting all the requirements of an efficient and sustainable project.

Lighting and Thermal Comfort

The light transparency percentages in our projects mostly exceed 35%, a factor that has significant implications for lighting and thermal comfort, as well as the reduction of energy demand.

Aerothermal System

With the aerothermal system, we harness the energy contained in the air, inducing electrical state changes that allow the transition from gas to liquid and from liquid to gas, releasing energy in both processes. We utilize this system to heat air or water.

Underfloor Heating

With underfloor heating, we circulate hot water, transferring heat to the surface of ceramic flooring where the water has been previously heated by the aerothermal system. The warmth from the network of water pipes persists for hours, maintaining environmental comfort with lower energy emissions, without the need to reach high temperatures to distribute thermal power.

Double-Flow Ventilation 

Double-flow ventilation helps maintain air quality by keeping the spaces in our projects free from odors and humidity. It also assists in maintaining a comfortable temperature with lower energy consumption.

We continue researching day by day to innovate and adapt new solutions and proposals for upcoming projects. At Marcove, we operate with professionalism, both in construction and advisory services.
