What is a sustainable home?

It’s a fact that today, homes and other areas where people live or spend most of their time contribute to CO2 emissions, and therefore to global warming. This not only threatens human beings and their health, but also all the natural resources whose balance has long been disrupted.

One of the solutions is what’s known as a sustainable home, green home or eco-friendly home, which helps tackle this big global problem.

A sustainable home can have many features that contribute to environmental solutions, such as being energy self-efficient, respectful of the natural surroundings, or built with green or recyclable materials.

At Be Casa, you’re the main character, and that’s why we’ve thought not only about your well-being but also about giving you the best option for connecting with the environment. Our facilities are sustainable, with minimal water, energy and material consumption, and excellent functionality, flexibility and durability.

6 pillars of sustainability

Well-being
We think about every detail that affects your comfort and well-being — thermal environment, natural and artificial light, air quality, sound and more.

Energy
We want to make the most of natural light, which is why at Be Casa you’ll always have bright, pleasant spaces. You can also be sure you’re living in a space made with sustainable materials, with the building’s energy consumption constantly monitored.

Transport
Access to public transport is essential today, so we’ve made sure all our locations are in areas with all the services you need to keep travel to a minimum.

Water
We ensure a sustainable water supply, with efficient appliances and everyday fixtures like taps, toilets and more.

Waste
We have storage spaces for waste so different types can be separated, helping with the recycling of products.

Land use and ecology
The land where we build is part of our planet, so we take care of it by creating new environments.

But for a home to be sustainable, you also have to take the neighbourhood into account — this way you integrate not just environmental matters but also social and economic ones.

The neighbourhood Be Casa Rivas belongs to is Rivas Futura, where you can enjoy the calm of a residential area while having all the city’s entertainment close by.

Our building is in an easily accessible area, with green spaces, wide avenues, nearby services and great public transport connections that get you to Madrid in just minutes.

There’s no doubt that sustainable homes are a challenge and a responsibility for the present and future. We’re already committed — what about you?
