en.Wedoany.com Reported - Brands under the Saint-Gobain Group have provided low-carbon footprint partition wall systems, advanced insulation materials, and air conditioning solutions for the renovation of the San Cristóbal School Market in Madrid, Spain, aiming to improve the building's energy performance. The project utilizes products from Saint-Gobain's Isover, Placo, and Weber brands, including the futuRE partition system, CLIMAVER Neto air conditioning ducts, and tile adhesive solutions.
Located at the foot of the Four Towers financial complex in the Colonia de San Cristóbal district of Madrid, an area known as "Las Ochocientas," the San Cristóbal School Market opened in 1974. The renovation project, carried out by architecture firm Mita Atelier and contractor Instalaciones Fabimar, and promoted by the NGO CESAL, aims to provide training spaces for young people at risk of social exclusion, restoring the traditional master-apprentice model.
The main intervention of the project involves reintegrating the market into the surrounding urban environment, restoring its function as a meeting place. The ground floor opens outward, forming a continuous space similar to a contemporary arcade square, enhancing the building's transparency and the community's social connectivity. The overall design has been re-planned according to criteria of energy efficiency, sustainability, and circularity, with a comprehensive renovation of facilities and integration of advanced systems.
The futuRE partition system used in the project is claimed by the manufacturer to be the first complete interior system with a 20% reduction in carbon footprint. This system includes Placo Planet futuRE plasterboard (containing 28% recycled material), arena APTA futuRE insulation (containing 79% recycled material), and Perfil Planet futuRE stud profiles (with a 66% reduction in carbon footprint). Additionally, the renovation utilized Habito plasterboard (impact-resistant, high load-bearing capacity), Placo PPM (suitable for humid areas such as kitchens and bathrooms, with moisture-resistant properties), and Placo PPF (providing higher fire resistance). For air conditioning, over 800 square meters of Isover CLIMAVER Neto ducts were installed, offering thermal performance and low thermal conductivity structure to reduce energy loss in the air conditioning system. The project also used approximately 500 square meters of Weber's webercol series tile adhesive solutions, high-performance flexible adhesives ensuring finish quality and durability.
