ICONO Centro Empresarial

ICONO Centro Empresarial is a nine-story office building in Armenia in the department of Quindío, Colombia, which has been designed to provide a safe and comfortable work space for its occupants. 

The office building will utilize resource-efficient design features and technologies to reduce the building’s energy and water use. Natural ventilation, reflective tiles on the roof and solar panels will contribute to the building’s energy savings, while water-efficient faucets and dual-flush water closets will contribute to the building’s water savings.

The developer of the project, Jaramillo Arango Constructora, designed ICONO Centro Empresarial to serve as an example of resource-efficiency for the region. For more than 18 years, Jaramillo Arango Constructora has contributed to the development of Quindío with innovative and transformative projects.

ICONO Centro Empresarial has received a preliminary EDGE certificate from CAMACOL.
