About Somma Inés de Suarez

‍

Somma Inés de Suarez is a multifamily residential project designed from the outset with sustainability as a core design criterion. The project integrates energy efficiency strategies, water savings systems, and sustainable materials that significantly reduce its environmental footprint compared to conventional residential buildings in its market.

Sustainable Strategies Implemented

‍

• Energy efficiency: thermal insulation, efficient lighting systems, and high-performance HVAC that reduce energy consumption by more than 20%.
• Water savings: water-efficient fixtures, dual-flush toilets, and drought-tolerant landscaping that reduce water consumption by more than 20%.
• Sustainable materials: selection of materials with recycled content and low embodied carbon that reduce the environmental impact of construction.
