A sustainable project - Europa Congress Palace

A series of measures (such as improved insulation, air-tightness of the building's envelope, solar control in skylights, more efficient installations, energy recovery from air exchange, etc.) were taken during the building's refurbishment to make more efficient use of resources and reduce energy consumption to 60% of previous levels. The building has also reduced its impact on the environment (through less waste-generation and a reduction in CO2 emissions).

Passivhaus criteria

The refurbishment and extension project followed Passivhaus criteria of greater thermal insulation, reduced energy consumption and the harnessing of the sun's energy for optimum air-conditioning.

Erronka Garbia Environmentally Sustainable Centre – IHOBE

In 2022, the Europa Congress Palace joined the Erronka Garbia project, becoming a certified Erronka Garbia Venue for 2023-2025. The goal is to minimise the potential negative impacts of their activities on the environment.

This certificate acknowledges the commitment to the environment and adherence to the principles guiding this initiative: taking action, measuring, and reporting, along with efforts concerning the six core areas: mobility, energy, water, waste, procurement, and infrastructure.

Events held at the Europa Congress Palace seeking Erronka Garbia Events certification can receive guidance directly from the technical team, who will assist with the necessary process.
