El jurado de la IV edición de los Premios Eficiencia Energética Isover decidió, por unanimidad otorgar el primer premio, dotado con 12.000 euros, al proyecto titulado “Casa Eficiente MZ “, del estudio de arquitectura Calderon-Folch, situado en Barcelona.
Con respecto a la propuesta ganadora, Casa Eficiente MZ, el acta del jurado hace referencia a su implantación urbana y destaca la condición de vivienda entre medianeras que, sin duda, reporta un plus de dificultad para las soluciones sostenibles (imposibilidad de elegir orientación óptima, localización parcial en zonas de sombra, dificultad de acceso de los equipos a las zonas de trabajo, etc.), y desea enfatizar su carácter ejemplar y pedagógico, además de sus características intrínsecas ya valoradas.
