We are starting a new section on this blog. Our idea for this series of articles is to present various special buildings located all over the world. Each construction mentioned in this section will be there for a reason and shall be an example of excellence construction wise. Reasons? Energetic efficiency and sustainability rarely seen in recent times impossible designs perfectly executed or master solutions in the face of challenging projects.
Regulation and control solutions in climatization systems
Again, another big challenge was tackled by Arce Clima; Zara flag ship store that Inditex group opened in Coruña early September this year. A massive 5000 square meters store divided into basement, ground floor and six floors; four of them for commercial use.
Heat pumps in climatization
When a climatization system of an installation is tackled it is probable that the system will have to carry out a double-function; on the one hand, heat losses that come about in the coldest times of year have to be compensated and on the other hand, being able to minimize the heat effect in summer times. Depending on the climatology of each area, the temperature shift does not necessarily have to be really big. However, in places with huge temperature differences, the systems do have to work extra in order to keep the equipment standards correct.
Case study: Zara; custom-made pieces for air conditioning installations
One of the challenges Arce Clima face every day is to assemble the most efficient installations which best adapt to the construction needs without conflicting the design and decoration proposed for each project.
3 key elements of a heating installation.
Far from what might seem, the impact that a heating system has for the environment and for those who inhabit each building is considerable.
Fire protection systems at a hydroelectric central in Costa Rica.
This time, a large-scale project has been undertaken. In 2013, works commenced at Torito Hydroelectric Plant, situated in the region of Cartago, northwest of Costa Rica. With capacity of power generation of up to 50 MW, it allows for electricity supply to over 95,000 users. Due to this installation, Union Fenosa would become the biggest private electricity supplier in the country.
Arce Clima in depth: Global solution for commercial and industrial installations
Over the years, Arce Clima have become a multi-purpose firm when it comes to electro-mechanic dimension works. This post is to thoroughly explain WHAT WE DO and HOW WE DO IT.
