We reduce your operating costs, improve people's well-being, and minimize carbon footprint.
Reduce the embedded and operational carbon footprint of your construction.
Enjoy spaces with stable temperature, clean air, and natural light that enhance the well-being of those who work and visit your project.
Operational savings of up to 50% on energy and water free up budget for your conservation programs.
Operating in an inefficient building generates emissions that contradict your environmental cause.
Poorly conditioned spaces with bad air quality reduce productivity and engagement.
Excessive energy bills consume funds intended for conservation programs.
In Latin America, 40% of CO2 emissions come from the built environment.
A few years ago, while working as an architect in Panama, I saw firsthand how organizations committed to protecting the planet ended up operating buildings that contradicted their own cause. It wasn't a lack of will; the real problem was the absence of a clear methodology to quantify costs, consumption, and footprint from the very first sketch.
That frustration led me to found Garúa, a studio that integrates passive design, performance simulations, and green certifications so that every construction decision is consistent with our clients' environmental mission.
1.
We gather regulations, brief, budget, and local climate to define the real potential of your project and simulate its future performance.
2.
We create construction drawings, manage approvals, and oversee the project to ensure every decision maintains the expected efficiency.
3.
We install sensors and analyze the actual use of the building to fine-tune consumption and maximize your savings.
