The energy and water savings will help residents save on their utility bills and live more environmentally friendly lifestyles.
OCRE is a project conceived, designed and built by Arconsa SA, a company committed to incorporating innovative design and technologies into their construction to conserve natural resources. A leader in the green building sector, Arconsa SA intends to continue certifying its projects, helping to transform construction in the region.
