Sustainability is a fundamental pillar in modern construction, and companies like Mediclinics are contributing to this change through efficient\u00a0and environmentally friendly solutions<\/strong>. By developing products such as\u00a0energy-efficient hand dryers\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0energy-saving automatic water taps<\/strong>, Mediclinics not only promotes\u00a0energy efficiency<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0saves water<\/strong>, but also helps buildings to meet stringent\u00a0sustainability<\/strong>\u00a0standards, thus helping to obtain LEED, BREEAM and VERDE credits.<\/p>\n

Mediclinics and its commitment to sustainability<\/h5>\n

Mediclinics, with its commitment to sustainability, has developed products that enable buildings to achieve high levels of efficiency, contributing to the obtainment of credits within\u00a0the LEED<\/strong>,\u00a0BREEAM<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0VERDE certification<\/strong>\u00a0systems. These systems especially value the efficient use of resources, such as energy and water, which are key aspects of\u00a0Mediclinics’ products<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

What are WorldGBC, GBCe, BREEAM, LEED and VERDE?<\/h5>\n

The\u00a0World Green Building Council<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0(WorldGBC) is the largest local-regional-global network accelerating\u00a0sustainability<\/strong>\u00a0in the field of\u00a0construction<\/strong>. With more than 75 national\u00a0Green Building Councils<\/strong>\u00a0and industry partners around the world, it is leading to systemic changes in the building sector. In Spain, the national association of the WorldGBCE is the\u00a0Green Building Council Espa\u00f1a<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>(GBCe). This non-profit association is a platform for meeting and dialogue that provides cutting-edge information and training to guide and assist in the transformation towards\u00a0sustainable building<\/strong>, with a focus on people’s well-being.<\/p>\n

**BREEAM<\/strong>**<\/a>\u00a0is one of the most\u00a0widespread building certification<\/strong>\u00a0systems in the world. It originated in the UK and assesses the\u00a0environmental impact of buildings<\/strong>\u00a0in areas such as energy use, water, materials, health and well-being, among others. BREEAM awards credits based on the building’s performance in each area, and the total amount determines the final rating of the building.<\/p>\n

**LEED<\/strong>**<\/a>\u00a0(Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) is a\u00a0certification<\/strong>\u00a0created in the United States and managed by the U.S. Green Building Council. This is one of the best known systems and assesses the design,\u00a0construction<\/strong>\u00a0and operation of\u00a0sustainable buildings<\/strong>. Buildings score points in areas such as\u00a0energy efficiency<\/strong>, water use, selection of materials and air quality, allowing them to obtain different levels of certification: Certified, Silver, Gold and Platinum.<\/p>\n

**VERDE<\/strong>**<\/a>\u00a0is the\u00a0Spanish certification<\/strong>\u00a0developed by\u00a0GBCe<\/strong>. Like BREEAM and LEED, it assesses the\u00a0environmental impact of buildings<\/strong>, but is better adapted to Spanish regulations and the particularities of the Spanish climate and building culture. VERDE certification<\/strong>\u00a0also ranks buildings according to their performance in areas such as use of\u00a0natural resources<\/strong>,\u00a0energy efficiency<\/strong>,\u00a0CO2 emission<\/strong>\u00a0reduction and user comfort.<\/p>\n

The GBCe Materials Platform<\/p>\n

A key tool for professionals in the selection of sustainable products is the\u00a0GBCe Materials Platform<\/strong>. Through this platform,\u00a0architects and engineers<\/strong>\u00a0can access detailed information on the\u00a0environmental impact of materials<\/strong>\u00a0used in projects.\u00a0Mediclinics’ products<\/a>, such as its\u00a0energy-efficient hand dryers<\/strong>\u00a0and taps, are highlighted on this platform as solutions that meet the requirements for BREEAM, LEED and VERDE certification credits.<\/p>\n

\n<\/strong>How do Mediclinics hand dryers and water taps contribute to LEED, BREEAM and VERDE credits?<\/h5>\n

Mediclinics products, such as\u00a0ECO hand dryers<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0All in One<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Behind the Mirror<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0water taps, are designed to\u00a0optimise energy and water consumption<\/strong>, two key areas in the\u00a0sustainability of buildings<\/strong>. These are some of the aspects that help to add up credits:<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0Mediclinics ECO hand dryers<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

ECO dryers are characterised by their\u00a0low energy consumption<\/strong>\u00a0per drying cycle, which significantly\u00a0reduces electricity use in public toilets<\/strong>. This\u00a0energy efficiency<\/strong>\u00a0contributes directly to obtaining credits in certifications such as LEED, BREEAM and VERDE, allowing buildings incorporating these solutions to reduce their carbon footprint.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0All in One<\/a>\u00a0and Behind the Mirror taps:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Water-saving taps, such as the\u00a0All in One<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Behind the Mirror<\/strong>\u00a0models, optimise water use in each wash cycle, thus reducing waste and helping projects meet LEED, BREEAM and VERDE\u00a0water efficiency<\/strong>\u00a0standards. By using less water, buildings not only reduce operating costs, but also\u00a0reduce the impact on water resources<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0Credits for innovation and local products:<\/strong><\/p>\n

In addition to\u00a0energy and water efficiency<\/strong>, Mediclinics stands out for its capacity for innovation. It offers compact and functional products, such as the\u00a0Behind the Mirror<\/strong>\u00a0systems<\/strong>\u00a0which integrate several functions in a single device. This contributes to the obtainment of innovation credits.<\/p>\n

Mediclinics<\/strong>, based in Spain, also offers the advantage of locally manufactured products, for which additional credits can be gained in certifications for\u00a0reducing the carbon footprint<\/strong>\u00a0associated with transport and promoting the local economy.<\/p>\n

With the increasing need to\u00a0reduce the environmental impact in construction<\/strong>, Mediclinics products have become key allies in achieving\u00a0sustainability goals<\/strong>. Solutions such as\u00a0energy-efficient hand dryers<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0efficient taps<\/strong>\u00a0not only reduce energy and water consumption, but also contribute to obtaining credits in certification systems such as\u00a0LEED<\/strong>,\u00a0BREEAM<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0VERDE<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

And let’s not forget the best part: your bathrooms will not only be more sustainable, but also more innovative. With\u00a0Mediclinics hand dryers<\/a><\/strong>, drying your hands will be such an efficient experience that you might even feel like boasting about it at the next sustainability meeting! A green future is in your hands, literally.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
