Green culture is embedded in our genetics. This has been developed from the very conception of the architectural project, with respect for the environmental and orographic characteristics of the surroundings of the Natural Park of Gallecs, an outstanding agricultural space in the geographical area of Vallès, and always looking for systems and methods of water use, and the commitment to renewable energies and energy efficiency.
Our goal is to achieve a neutral carbon footprint
Hospitals are some of the public centres with the greatest energy impact on the environment. For this reason, green culture must be part of the strategy and permeate the structure and processes of our centres. We work on waste management, appropriate use of resources, mobility, clinical management, and optimization of processes in order to reduce the environmental impact of our activity. Because, just as we are part of the problem, we must also be part of the solution.
Our Mollet University Hospital has won the Silver award in the Ashikaga-Nikken Excellence Award for Green Hospitals category of the International Awards 2021.
Green Projects
Green Projects
Natural courtyards and sustainable architecture
Natural courtyards filter natural light in all rooms, reducing light consumption by 40% and CO2 emissions by 280,000 kg.
Radiant ceilings and sustainable roofs
The gravel and plant rooftops improve the thermal insulation and acoustic comfort. The radiant ceilings are an air conditioning system.
Collection and use of rainwater
An 80m3 cistern collects rainwater for the courtyards. In 10 years, annual water consumption had been reduced from 32,000 to 26,000 m3.
Geothermal energy
148 wells of 146 meters deep reduce the air conditioning energy consumption by 30%. One of the largest projects in Europe.
100% renewable electricity
100% of the electricity we consume comes from renewable energy sources since 2017.
Recycling and waste management
In 10 years we have increased from 9 to 25 the types of waste we manage. We will continue to focus on recycling and waste management.
Solar Panel New Installation
1,368 solar panels in 6,500m2. A saving of 120 tons of CO2 emissions. It provides 12,5% of the hospital’s overall energy
