In the context of the Oceanographic Research Center building, the pursuit of sustainability goals in the architectural process is clearly embedded in the concept under development. In its energy aspect, this commitment involves the modeling of external climatic conditions through passive solar design, aimed at minimizing the energy needs for heating, cooling, ventilation, and lighting within the building.

of the building in a consistent and fault-free manner. This highlights the importance of both minimizing consumption and having a local energy generation system based on sustainability principles. Given the type of occupancy pursued, the establishment of the energy model, strategy, and resulting energy and water systems for the Oceanographic Research Center represents a central challenge for the entire project – its success will significantly impact the desired success and multifunctionality.
