Efficient offices in north-west Madrid

A tertiary complex that optimises orientation, envelope design and solar radiation control to reduce energy demand in an office environment in Madrid.

Editorial Team

The Tripark Las Rozas project is an office complex composed of three independent buildings located in the north-west of Madrid, designed to optimise energy performance and environmental quality in workspaces. The volumetric configuration, adapted to the topography through stepped platforms, maximises façade exposure and promotes natural daylight penetration across all floors, improving indoor conditions and the thermal inertia of the complex.

The envelope strategy focuses on solar radiation control through materials with reflective properties and visual permeability, including tensile textile façade solutions that reduce thermal gains and optimise visual comfort. This approach contributes to lowering energy demand, achieving a primary energy consumption of 118.00 kWhPE/m²·year compared to 133.00 kWhPE/m²·year for a reference building.

The project also incorporates renewable energy production through solar panels, contributing 2.53%, and records greenhouse gas emissions during operation of 76.00 kgCO₂/m²·year.

Key figures:

  • Building condition: New construction
  • Building type: Office building < 28m
  • Delivery year: 2009
  • Primary energy consumption: 118.00 kWhPE/m²·year
  • Energy performance certificate rating: C
  • Renewables: Solar thermal
