Italy technical visit to the Passivhaus Library

Last Thursday, March 19, 2015, the visit of the group of Italian technicians took place within the framework of the Save the Planet Project to the Villamediana de Iregua Library. The group, made up of a total of 18 people, mostly architects and engineers, also had university professors, directors of engineering colleges and construction schools, and representatives of construction companies from all over Italy. The day began at 9:30 in the morning in the youth center of Villamediana de Iregua and consisted of a total of 3 presentations and a visit to the work of the Municipal Library built under the Passivhaus standard.

The first presentation was presented by the architect Roberto García Berlanga and it dealt with the General Municipal Plan of Villamediana de Iregua as an eco-efficient regulation. The second presentation was presented by Ángel Ibáñez Ceba and dealt with the Sarriguren eco-neighborhood and its sustainability strategies and balance between human and natural systems. Finally the third presentation was presented by Esteban Pardo Calderón and it dealt with the Passivhaus standard in public buildings and the Villamediana de Iregua Municipal Library Project as the first Passivhaus public building in Spain.

The event was attended at all times by the Mayor of the town Tomás Santolaya as well as the councilors of urban planning and culture. The Italian group highly valued the town's commitment to a regulation and a construction standard for public buildings that are so demanding regarding energy efficiency and so committed to sustainability, both facts that place the municipality at the forefront of urban eco-efficiency and municipal.
