Part of our Team Talat had the great opportunity to be present at the eighth edition of the 3 Diamonds Awards, organized by Mitsubishi Electric. Some awards are already benchmarks and seek to highlight the work of professionals in the air conditioning. They take into account the implementation of innovative technologies and modern infrastructures through the use of the most efficient and sustainable technologies. Each year they recognize the best practices of the sector at national level in terms of energy efficiency, design, indoor air quality and innovation.
Six projects were awarded, out of the 47 submitted, which stood out as the most efficient buildings in Spain in two categories: projects up to 200 kW and projects above 200 kW.
In the category of up to 200 kW, the winner was the store Loewe located in the Lleó i Morera house on Paseo de Gracia in Barcelona. An installation integrated in a luxury environment that has respected the architectural and heritage value of this modernist house. It also has a VRF system and recuperators for air renovation, both of high efficiency, and Leed Platinum energy certification in process.

Also the IES Derio BHI Eraikin Berria in Derio (Vizcaya).
In the category above 200 kW, the winner was the Hotel Querencia SevillaAutograph collection, which has stood out for its A energy rating in CO2 emissions, with an open geothermal system that reduces energy consumption considerably.
