The Five Marjal Quality Points of the Marjal Eco-Home

A Green Home design must be conceived to obtain the very best in energy efficiency and be environmentally friendly.

With these ideas, Marjal laid out the foundations for its 5 eco friendly principals, bringing together boths health and environmental issues together. Marjal's eco homes use solar panels, grey water recycling systems and many other features to save energy as well as being located in places of great natural beauty with a healthy all year round climate, reducing your electricity and water bills as well as allowing for you to live a full and active life.

Smart Eco Home Design

For maximum Green Home energy efficiency, all our villas must abide to certain rules of construction and design. Windows must have an East to West orientation to allow maximum sunlight in that reduces the need for heating and lighting.

Cross ventillation from green home allocation, means that there is a steady flow of clean fresh air through the villa so air conditioning is rarely used.

Low maintenance finishes are also an important feature to smart green home design.

Its modern and aesthetically appealling appearance provoke an eye catching and unique home with all the benefits of an energy efficient and sustainable home. 

Eco Resources and Materials

A Green Home should be totally environmentally friendly, so that means it not only has a low carbon footprint but the materials it uses . 

We demand that all materials supplied must have been manufactured in an ecological and sustainable manner. 

Added to this, we consider several important aspects of the materials used in the construction of our Green Homes. These are that none of these be of a toxic nature or contain harmful or contamiating ingredients.

It is also a priority, that once the useful lifetime of these materials  is over, they continue to be environmentally friendly.

Healthy Living

A Green Home must not only be benefitial for the environment but also benefitial for those who live in it. Marjal is constantly looking for areas where living is enjoyed and the surroundings give an added value to every day life. 

With an amazing all year round climate that never goes to extremes, active outdoor life is a must. Where else have you got so many activities all year round? 

Socialising, sport, cultural activities, all make for a much better lifestyle, not forgetting the great Mediterranean diet, full of nutrition and low and sugars and fats. 

But it is not only the area that makes it a great and healthy place to live, but also elements of the house design, such as cross ventillation, reduction in the use of air conditioning, use of tiled floors that do not accumulate bacteria and mold like carpeted floors do.

Add up all these features and a Marjal Green Home is probably one of the healthiest homes you will find anywhere in Spain, maybe even Europe.

Conservation of Resources 

Saving money is one of the most important aspects of the Marjal Green Home.

Solar panels take full advantage of the abundant resource of sunlight in Spain.  These soloar panels provide an abundant amount of constant hot water and optional electricity producing panels provide a safe and plentiful energy source.

Average yearly temperatures of 15ºC allow you to save on heating bills and absence of extreme Summer temperatures mean that air conditioning is also rarely used and fresh air is easily obtained through cross ventillation.

Led Lighting use 80% less energy than standard light bulbs, again, making their use both environmentally friendly and cost efficient.

The plumbing installation has also been designed to reduce the distance hot water must travel to its point of use, again saving water and energy.

All appliances are A class, saving you money in every electricity bill.

Recycling of grey water, flow reducers on taps, half flush systems all save on the amount of water used in and around the villa. 

Gardens use indigenous plants considerably reduce the need of constant irrigation in the drier Spanish climate, being far more environmentally friendly than the use of plants from colder and more humid regions.

A Marjal Green Home really can save you an enormous amount of money year in year out, 

Unique Natural Surroundings

When looking for areas for a Marjal Green Home, we search for places that of natural beauty and study the best way for an environmentally friendly house to be built in such a place.

La Romana in particular is a fabulous region with a stable warm all year round climate, a famous wine producing area and just a short drive from major cities, golf courses and the white sandy beaches of the Costa Blanca.

Mountain fresh air and mild temperatures are also a major reason that living in a place like La Romana is probably one of the most healthiest decisions you will ever make.
