Life Reusing Posidonia, Formentera
Heritage, architecture and climatic change
Life Reusing Posidonia is a Climate Change Adaptation Project financed by the European LIFE + program for nature conservation projects.
The main objective is to improve habitability conditions in dwellings and provide regulators and public bodies with contrasted data to decrease the consumption of resources and to grow in comfort.
The data has been obtained by evaluating a prototype building of 14 public social dwellings on a rental basis promoted by the Balearic Social Housing Institute and its comfort has been monitored with the collaboration of the University of the Balearic Islands.
It has been demonstrated the viability of constructing the prototype with an additional cost of 5% over the usual price of the IBAVI social housing buildings, and reducing:
- 60% of CO2 emissions during the construction of the building.
- 75% of useful energy during the lifetime of the building.
- 60% water consumption.
- 50% waste production during the construction phase
The project links 'Heritage, Architecture and Climate Change' with the aim to recover the local resources as a cultural approach in the contemporary research for sustainable solutions. The use of dry Posidonia as thermal insulation reminds us that we do not live in a house but an ecosystem.
The documentation is open source and freely available on www.reusingposidonia.com.
