For decades, attention has been focused on understanding buildings as machines that consume energy resources and, incidentally, on how they also contribute to reducing their own energy consumption. Although certain historical constructions already pointed in this direction—albeit in pursuit of similar yet distinct objectives—this concern has now become the primary driver, or at least a key reference, for many buildings.

From the construction phase, where energy consumption is substantial, to their use and maintenance, this issue remains central. It is perhaps in the latter phase that it becomes most perceptible to users: by taking care of something as prosaic as the electricity bill, we indirectly take care of the climate balance. The order of factors does not alter the product.

Highlights:

CAP i Biblioteca a Sant Martí-Besòs
Ciutadella Campus of the UPF
Greenhouse in La Ciutadella Park

The sites included in this route will be expanded in the coming days.

Accessibility: Easy route suitable for most people. It includes short walking sections, mainly flat and paved, although some areas may have reduced accessibility or uneven surfaces, such as sand or gentle slopes.
