Aragó 182. New reference for sustainable offices in Barcelona

Aragó 182 has reached a double milestone positioning it as a top-tier urban model: the project has been distinguished with two international certifications that validate a measurable commitment to people's health and reducing environmental impact; two sides of the same goal: to create sustainable offices that prioritize well-being and operational efficiency.

That a building achieves both WELL Gold and LEED Gold is not a coincidence; both certifications operate from complementary perspectives. WELL assesses how the space affects people's physical and mental health (air, water, light, comfort, and healthy habits), while LEED measures the environmental performance of the property (energy efficiency, water management, materials, and emissions reduction). Aragó 182 has integrated both approaches to offer a healthy, efficient, and responsible work environment.

Key achievements of Aragó 182 for wellbeing and sustainability

• Improved air quality: the building achieved the highest score (100%) in air quality thanks to a high-efficiency HVAC system and renewal equipment that ensure a healthy environment free of pollutants. This reduces respiratory risks and improves concentration.
• Safe drinking water: it has a community source of osmosis with microfiltration and disinfection systems, with continuous controls for legionella and dampness. A key resource for health in the office.
• Responsible materials: potentially harmful materials (asbestos, lead, mercury) have been restricted and materials with low VOC content are used; in addition, eco-friendly cleaning products are employed. This reduces exposure to pollutants and improves indoor environmental quality.
• Lighting and thermal comfort: low-flicker LED luminaires with high CRI and low glare, combined with ample natural light and comfortable climate control, create optimal conditions for working without visual fatigue.
• Promotion of physical activity: open and gamified stairs, ergonomic furniture, 24 bicycle parking spaces, and an outdoor environment that facilitates exercise (green areas, bike lanes) encourage healthy habits.
• Mental health and clear spaces: visual and physical access to nature, community terraces, and rest areas designed to reduce stress and improve mood.

The rehabilitation of Aragó 182 transforms a 1980 property into a smart building: a technical management system (BMS) monitors and automates air quality, climate control, supplies, and other facilities, maintaining levels of thermal comfort, acoustics, and lighting while optimizing energy consumption. Moreover, 100% of the electricity consumption for common areas comes from renewable energies and the building's own photovoltaic installation. These decisions make Aragó 182 an example of operational efficiency and energy cost reduction.

Pasar a una oficina sostenible como Aragó 182 no es solo una declaración de valores: es una inversión en productividad y en la salud de tu equipo. Mejores condiciones de aire, luz y temperatura reducen el ausentismo y mejoran la concentración; ambientes diseñados para la actividad física y el descanso elevan la creatividad y la retención de talento. Además, la rehabilitación sostenible aumenta la resiliencia del inmueble -menor consumo, menor huella y mayor capacidad de adaptación a tecnologías futuras-, algo que clientes y proveedores valoran cada vez más.

Aragó 182 exemplifies the union between human-centered design and operational efficiency. From the choice of materials to the configuration of landscaped terraces (355 m² of outdoor space with native low-water-use vegetation), every decision aims to maximize well-being without sacrificing performance or sustainability.

The result is efficient workspaces where natural light, acoustics, climate control, and healthy dining options are combined to promote sustainable and enjoyable workdays.

The transition towards sustainable offices is a practical response to several current needs: operational cost reduction, attraction and retention of talent, compliance with ESG standards, and an improved corporate image. Moreover, in a city like Barcelona; with a growing entrepreneurial and technological ecosystem, having a headquarters in a building certified by WELL and LEED positions companies as responsible and future-oriented players.
