Marbella town hall has put out to tender a project to turn the town's Palacio de Ferias y Congresos into a more environmentally sustainable facility for a total of 2.3 million euros. The funding comes from the European Union. Companies interested in submitting their bids have until 26 November via the state contracting platform online.
The aim is to make the centre eco-friendly and promote it as a key facility for tourism purposes, conferences and exhibitions with several interventions planned, among which two stand out: the use of rainwater and energy self-sufficiency.
Characteristics
Apart from improvements to the roof, both in terms of thermal insulation and waterproofing, the use of rainwater by recycling grey water and other saving mechanisms mean that all the water collected is used for irrigation or toilet flushing, among other purposes.
The project also aims to modernise facilities by renewing the air-conditioning system, increasing the capacity for natural lighting, installing the most energy-efficient materials and reducing energy consumption and, therefore, CO2 emissions.
Constructive measures will also be taken to achieve climate targets that promote digital development and smart metering and control systems, improved water use through the use of rainwater, reduction of hot water pipes and improved insulation.
Work will be carried out on the ventilation and air renewal system to improve natural ventilation and the installation of charging points for electric vehicles.
The project is part of a five-million-euro tourism sustainability plan for destinations. Also included in this plan are ambitions to connect the Guadalpín river walkway with the coastal path. These two actions will be completed with the botanical garden, which will act as a gateway to the Sierra de las Nieves.
