On May 2022, the Perelada Group has inaugurated its new winery, designed by RCR Architects with an innovative design that has a very low environmental impact. It is the first winery in Europe with LEED BD+C certification, and incorporates measures that ensure high energy efficiency and sustainable use of resources.
The building has very low energy consumption thanks to good insulation and geothermal energy; two factors that reduce polluting emissions associated with energy consumption from heating, cooling and hot water. The electricity consumed is 100% renewable and the lighting includes an advanced management system that prioritizes natural light. In addition, the facilities have an integrated vision of the water cycle, with the incorporation of reclaimed and rain water; and prioritizes recycled and locally produced materials.
