The bioclimatic pergolas are gaining more and more followers as a sustainable solution that not only beautifies outdoor spaces but also significantly contributes to reducing the carbon footprint in homes. According to the company Toldos Manzano, specialized in solar protection installation, these structures allow to reduce up to 500 kg of CO₂ emissions per year per household, which represents a substantial contribution in the fight against climate change.
This innovation combines aesthetics and efficiency, as its design allows to regulate light and ventilation through an adjustable slat system. As a result, significant energy savings are achieved: up to 30% in air conditioning consumption and 20% in heating. During the hottest months, bioclimatic pergolas can reduce ambient temperature by up to 10 °C, ensuring exceptional comfort without the need for additional air conditioning systems.
Interest in these pergolas is growing significantly in the regions of Castellón and Tarragona, where more and more households, restaurants, and hotels are adopting this solution to maximize the use of their outdoor spaces throughout the year. José Carlos Manzano, manager of Toldos Manzano, highlights that in areas such as Castellón or Benicarló, where the sun and wind are constant, these systems have become essential for both homes and businesses.
In addition to their aesthetic and energy-saving benefits, bioclimatic pergolas represent a crucial environmental need. According to a study by the European Solar Shading Organization (ES-SO), the use of sun protection systems could reduce energy consumption by 60% by 2050, avoiding the emission of 100 million tons of CO₂ throughout Europe. These types of solutions are urgently needed in the face of projections from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which anticipates a 30% increase in air conditioning use by 2050, further increasing energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.
Thanks to its intelligent design, bioclimatic pergolas are particularly suitable for the Mediterranean climate. The aluminum slats that make up these structures allow to regulate sunlight and improve ventilation while providing protection against rain in winter. This flexibility translates into significant energy savings, consolidating them as an innovative and responsible option in contemporary architecture.
Companies, hotels, and restaurants in tourist cities like Peñíscola, Salou, and Cambrils are implementing these structures to improve the customer experience, offering protected terraces. Manzano emphasizes that “customers are increasingly looking for well-conditioned outdoor spaces”, so bioclimatic pergolas represent a strategic investment for businesses.
Technology also plays a crucial role in these structures, which include intelligent climate sensors, app control, integrated LED lighting, and various customization options, such as glass curtains or side awnings. This versatility facilitates their integration into any type of housing or commercial establishment.
