Spanish company Sacyr recognized for R&D efforts into geothermal energy and retrofitting of historical buildings with these systems.

The Sacyr “Premio Innovadores Naturales” (Natural Innovators Award) was granted to Daniel Muñoz Sanz in recognition of the contributions made by the professionals of the company’s geothermal team. Mr. Sanz is responsible for the geothermal team and are making great strides to promote and implement more geothermal into the energy mix in Spain.

Sacyr Industrial is a leader in this sector in Spain and has been designing geothermal systems for installation in “historical rehabilitations” of important buildings. These buildings are of historical significance and require the retrofitting of heating and cooling systems that must be compliant with new energy efficiency standards. Some of the systems designed by the geothermal team at Sacyr have been installed in buildings that now meet the highest sustainability standards in Europe, LEED Platinum.
