Ruiz Picasso 11 has become the first building in Spain to achieve LEED Zero Carbon certification<\/strong>, awarded by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

This recognition certifies the building\u2019s operational carbon neutrality and reflects ongoing efforts to move towards a more efficient and responsible management model.<\/p>\n

To achieve this milestone, different factors related to the building\u2019s operation were analysed. These included energy consumption in common areas and client-occupied spaces, as well as the impact associated with user mobility.<\/p>\n

The Ruiz Picasso 11 LEED Zero Carbon certification<\/strong> highlights a strategy based on measuring, analysing and continuously reducing emissions. The aim is to improve the building\u2019s environmental performance while maintaining the quality and experience of the people who work there.<\/p>\n

This achievement was reached together with NTT DATA Europe & Latam<\/strong>. It also strengthens Ruiz Picasso 11\u2019s position as a benchmark building for sustainability, innovation and the evolution of workspaces.<\/p>\n

The transformation of the real estate sector depends on creating more efficient and responsible buildings. It also means preparing them to meet the needs of companies and people.<\/p>\n
