Rome launches new sustainable Super Hotels

Luxury hotels increasingly sustainable. Just like many new buildings in the capital. Indeed, environmental sustainability in architecture is now the first of the requirements that investors and real estate companies are looking for. The proof also comes from three 5-star hotels that are about to open in Rome: the first is the Radisson Collection in via delle Botteghe Oscure, pure rationalist architecture, which will be inaugurated on March 28.

«We have now gone well beyond the deceptive stereotypes that wanted the “eco-sustainable” building to be aesthetically lacking, expensive and with slower construction times», say the two architects who in Italy, among the first, promoted a new approach to the design and construction of buildings pursuing the objective since the early years of activity of «OGB STUDIO», Laura Scrimieri and Riccardo Hopps. Their offices are in Rome and Milan, and they base their consulting philosophy on the themes of environmental sustainability and healthiness of the environments, as well as on standards recognized throughout the world, such as LEED, BREEAM and WELL.

Other significant projects in the capital such as the Corinthia and the Rosewood, both historic buildings that offer unique panoramic views, respectively of the Chamber of Deputies and Via Veneto. These join a series of prestigious restorations, including the Deloitte building and the Cassa Depositi e Prestiti offices. In parallel, innovative projects such as the “Green Island” and the transformation of the former Poligrafico dello Stato highlight a growing commitment to urban sustainability, with particular attention to achieving important environmental certifications such as LEED.

Spazio Domal: the new LEED certified showroom

The Domal exhibition space has obtained LEED Certification

When the priority objective is the sustainability of the places where people live, even a showroom can become green: the new Domal space in Milan has obtained the GOLD level of the LEED v4 ID+C certification. The prestigious goal, specific for interiors and retail spaces, was achieved after a long and delicate work of support and coordination of the entire certification procedure conducted by OGB STUDIO. 

In particular, attention was paid to the choice of materials free of VOCs (volatile organic compounds), highly toxic elements for those who live in indoor environments, often present in furnishings and building materials. In the project, in fact, it was preferred to select natural materials and introduce green elements to re-establish direct contact with nature even in closed spaces.

Great attention has also been paid to the aspect of energy efficiency thanks to the activation of an Advanced Commissioning process useful for verifying and testing the functionality of all systems to guarantee maximum energy performance; the installation of high-efficiency ventilation filters and heat recovery will ensure a healthy indoor environment throughout the year.

LEED FOR HOUSES

LEED FOR HOUSES
A home is more than just a refuge: homes are the most important places in our lives.
A LEED certified home uses less energy and resources and is healthier for you and your family.
A residential building that respects the LEED criteria, whether it is single-family or multi-family, has spaces where people can live in full health, because they are designed with particular attention to the health and comfort of the people who live inside them: clean air, plenty of natural light and the use of safe building materials.
These buildings, being more efficient, allow us to consume less energy and water, thus reducing monthly bills.
Additionally, LEED certified homeowners directly contribute to a net positive impact on the entire community.
OGB STUDIO has professionals within its ranks with the credentials needed to follow the entire certification process from the design phase, to construction, up to certification.

Thanks to the accreditations acquired by the architect Riccardo Hopps, who became LEED Green Rater, and the architect Mariana Duarte De Santana, who became LEED AP HOMES, OGB STUDIO will be able to support you throughout the certification process.
The experience gained, with the first two projects registered in Europe, according to the LEED v4.1 Residential: Multifamily Core&Shell protocol, projects us as the best Italian reality to provide qualified support to your needs.

A 24-month commitment for LEED consultancy to the General Contractor in the executive design and construction phase. The building, home to a primary bank in Milan, has obtained the LEED GOLD level certification with the LEED v.4 BD + C: Core & Shell protocol.
An important result, a consolidated synergy with Ricci SpA , another step forward towards an increasingly sustainable future.

WELL Building Standard

A settembre 2020 IWBI (International WELL Building Institute) ha lanciato l'ultima versione dello standard WELL Building Standard: WELL v2 (link: https://v2.wellcertified.com/wellv2/en/overview).
Il nuovo standard WELL v2 è frutto di due anni di sviluppi, applicazioni e revisioni, che hanno visto nascere il più innovativo protocollo di certificazione per edifici sostenibili.

La nuova versione parte dalla novità segnata da WELL v2.pilot, standard lanciato nel 2018 e testato in più di 3300 progetti in più di 54 paesi del mondo.

Il sistema di rating è stato perfezionato attraverso un rigoroso processo di revisione e affinamento, processo che ha previsto anche un momento per ospitare i commenti pubblici e le revisioni formali degli stakeholder, feedback e riscontri da leader ed esperti nei settori della salute pubblica, medicina, gestione e governo, l'ambito del business e di tutto il mondo legato all'ingegneria e architettura, edilizia e design.

Lo standard è stato revisionato anche da una apposita task force sul tema COVID-19, per ottenere uno
strumento in grado di rispondere alle drammatiche esigenze contemporanee.
WELL v2 affonda le sue radici nelle più e comprovate ricerche scientifiche, si sviluppa con cure avanzate soluzioni tecniche che garantisce la massima sicurezza alla salute e al benessere degli occupanti.

Siete curiosi di come certificare un edificio seguendo il nuovo standard WELL v2?
