EcoHouse:
This is a Quercus project aiming to make Portuguese families aware of the measures and habits that they can acquire to save energy and preserve the environment.
The Virtual House of Energy (Casa Virtual da Energia, CVE) is available at the website and is a tool built to make us change our habits of energy consumption in our homes.
This tool allows us to simulate energy consumptions, as well as the thermal performance, of our homes.

Ronald McDonald House:
Ronal McDonald House is “a home away from home” for children and their families who have to travel away from their homes to be treated at D. Estefânia Hospital in Lisbon.
At Ronald McDonald House every thing is done so that the families feel as if they were in their own homes, and are able to share their daily life with the children in the hospital, both inpatients and outpatients.
We at Sapa Portugal have supported this project offering the thermally broken framework, windows, and doors.

Cetified House:
It is a Pioneer online platform since February 2009, where a relationship between the demand and the offer of Energetic Certificates is supported and managed.
In this platform we can find several measures to enhance energetic efficiency.
At Sapa Portugal we present solutions that correspond to some of those measures, for instance: quality framework, ventilation grids, outdoors shading and photovoltaic curtain wall.
