Episcopal office building in Madrid.

The “Sedes Sapientiae” of the Spanish Bishops’ Conference includes offices, conference rooms and a library. The façade, with its symmetrically arranged shapes and glass entrance area, radiates a warm, harmonious spirituality.

Not least thanks to the installation of high-quality aluminium-uPVC windows and doors, this four-storey building has achieved Passive House standard, which ensures very good indoor air quality and minimal energy consumption. The Max-Valor triple insulation glazing of the windows guarantees both outstanding insulation and excellent values in terms of total energy transmittance and light transmittance. The very narrow frames of the Nova-line design line allow plenty of natural light to enter the rooms: at the same time, external Venetian blinds provide flexible and effective solar protection and additional heat protection. The barrier-free, flat threshold of the entry door with its anti-panic function permit ease of access from the outside to the inside.
