This development is part of Soto del Henares Urban Development Consortium, which covers approximately 171 hectares and is managed by Arpeggio, a public undertaking of the Community of Madrid, dedicated to the management of land for all uses. The marketing of housing has been conducted through Aldesa Home, the real Grupo Aldesa?s estate company.
Bioclimatic design
Housing built by Aldesa in Torrejón de Ardoz are an example of bioclimatic architecture. The design has been conditioned, since its inception, for the purpose of obtaining greater use of environmental conditions, in order to achieve maximum energy savings. Thus, weather systems have taken active and passive energy use, including maximum sun exposure to reduce energy consumption in the cold months, cross ventilation, different treatment of the facades according to their orientation, plenty of areas vegetables in the courtyard of the plot and the collection of solar radiation by solar panels located on the roof of the building for use as support for the production of hot water and heating.
Aldesa Construcciones is integrated in Grupo Aldesa, one of the top ten construction groups in Spain and operates besides in the concessions, renewable energy, engineering and services sectors.
