CERTIFICATES
Testa has had an ISO 9001 Quality
Management System implemented since 2002
and an ISO 14001 Environmental Management
System since 2007. These standards, of
acknowledged prestige, promoted by the
International Standards Organisation, have
the aim of providing an organisation with
the elements of an effective quality and
environmental management system. These
standards specify the requirements for a
quality and environmental management
system to enable an organisation to develop
and implement a policy and objectives that
take the legal requirements and the information
on significant environmental aspects into
account.
Energy certification, Spain
Energy certification of buildings in Spain
was regulated according to Spanish Royal
Decree 47/2007, of 19 January, approving
a basic procedure for certifying the energy
efficiency of newly constructed buildings,
and Royal Decree 235/2013, of 5 April,
approving the basic procedure for certifying
the energy efficiency of existing buildings. In
their commitment to due compliance, Testa
and Merlin have efficiency labels in 77 of their
buildings:
LEED
This voluntary certification was developed by
the U.S. Green Building Council and
is composed of a set of standards on the use
of strategies aimed at all types of building
sustainability, based on the incorporation in
the project of aspects related to:
• Sustainable site
• Water saving
• Energy efficiency
• Selection of materials and resources
• Indoor environmental quality
• Innovation and design
There are four levels of certification
depending on the compliance of building
characteristics and materials with the highest
demands in terms of management, product
quality and sustainability: Certified (40-49
points), Silver (50-59 points), Gold (60-79
points), Platinum (80+ points).
BREEAM
BREEAM (BRE Environmental Assessment
Method) sets the standards for the best
sustainable design qualities and has
become the reference measure used for the
environment performance of buildings.
MERLIN has launched its LEED/BREEAM
certificate plan 2016-2018, with the aim
of at least 70% of its buildings having
environmental certificates by 2018. Of these,
41 buildings would have LEED certificates
and 30 BREEAM certificates.
