Corporate
The corporate and service sector is one of the main sectors of employment and occupation in cities, generating sources of work for more than 45% of the population. Office and service buildings have an environmental impact during the useful life of the spaces due to energy use in lighting, air conditioning, personnel mobilization, etc., but above all a high impact on human health and quality of life considering that in urban areas we spend more than 80% of our time inside spaces. However, through sustainable architecture and construction, buildings have the possibility of being catalysts for positive changes for the environments where they are located and for improvements in the quality of life of their occupants.
Sustainable corporate buildings save an average of 23% of energy, 25% of water and reduce absenteeism and illness among staff by 35%. Environmental certification systems such as LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) for public infrastructure buildings allow the impact of these buildings to be quantified in a transparent manner with environmental, social, health and well- being metrics, and allow employers, their workers and their extended community to share and benefit from their positive impact.
EKOPARK TORRE 4 - LEED SILVER
Ekopark's 4th tower is a landmark of sustainable architecture in Quito, certified LEED thanks to its innovative design and environmental commitment. The tower incorporates advanced energy efficiency technologies, such as LED lighting systems, solar panels, and an architectural design that maximizes natural light to reduce electricity consumption. It also features a high-efficiency thermal insulation system to optimize energy use for heating and cooling.
In water management, the tower includes rainwater harvesting systems for irrigation, low-flow fixtures, and efficient wastewater management, significantly reducing its environmental impact. Its commitment to sustainable materials is reflected in the use of locally sourced, recycled, and low-impact finishes, alongside a rigorous recycling program during construction.
Indoor environmental quality is a priority, with ventilation systems ensuring constant air renewal, low-VOC materials, and spaces designed to provide thermal, visual, and acoustic comfort for occupants.
