At the Madrid Real Estate Exhibition, in June 2018, BREEAM ES and SIMA presented for the first time a reproduction of a sustainable home. SIMAlab is an interactive and informative space, where the house was shown using specific examples on how sustainable construction is improving new homes.

Humans spend 90% of their time indoors, a fact that has an impact on their comfort, health and wellbeing. SIMAlab demonstrates how a building can at the same time respect the environment and save energy and water, in addition to being enjoyable and healthy for its residents.

This initiative was showcased at the SIMA real estate event in Madrid. Three leading manufacturers of sustainable materials helped with the experiments: Grupo Presto Ibérica, Saint-Gobain and Siber.

Grupo Presto Ibérica, a Spanish manufacturer specialising in taps and water-saving technology, displayed two experiments specially designed for SIMAlab. The first one showed the noticeable difference, in terms of water consumption, between a water-efficient tap and a standard tap. The second experiment is about the significant energy savings achieved by the use of systems specially designed to save sanitary hot water, allowing its use only when water reaches the desired temperature.
