Living in Rome is going green with Rome’s first environmentally sustainable residential complex to be built at Parco di Plinio, in the Infernetto area of Rome.
The complex will be built based on eco-architectural principles, and will produce its own renewable energy with a project energy saving of 30 percent.
Construction and real estate agency SPQR2000T will build 160 apartments for a total of 140 residents, and other facilities will also be built including a pre-school and kindergarten, elderly aged care centre, shops and office space.
The complex could prove to be a new way of thinking and building in one of Italy’s most crowded cities.
Heating and cooling systems will produce their own hot water with vegetable oil-based regeneration systems and a quarter of the homes will be built from low-impact wood.
Given the need for housing in Rome, there’s no question these will sell like any other residential complex, but the real issue is whether it will set an example for future residential complexes.
