| Abstract: | The Sustainable Development Centre is located within the Xrobb il- Għaġin Nature Park at Xrobb il-Għaġin in Malta. The scope of the project is to rehabilitate an existing complex of buildings used for other functions over the years, and to transform the buildings into a Sustainable Development Centre, within the Nature Park to accommodate a new scientific and educational facility. The sustainable rehabilitation of the buildings is based on a comprehensive approach, addressing the architectural value of the buildings, the functional requirements, structural interventions and repair of the structures, the conservation of resources, water conservation and waste management, the inclusion of energy efficiency measures and the use of alternative and renewable energy sources. |
