The comprehensive rehabilitation works of the old Workers' Canteen at the Port of Castellón are progressing at a good pace. This action allows for the recovery and modernization of an emblematic building constructed in 1940, which historically served as a service space for port workers and is now being adapted to current standards of energy efficiency, sustainability, and decarbonization.
Currently, the ongoing interventions focus on the complete remodeling of the roof and the improvement of the thermal envelope. The works correct the roof slopes to ensure rainwater drainage, renew the waterproofing, and incorporate high-density thermal insulation. These measures reduce energy losses from the property and minimize energy demand for its climate control in both winter and summer.
In parallel, the project addresses the complete replacement of the old air conditioning and ventilation systems with high-efficiency systems designed for public use spaces, as the building will house a catering service.
Among the key milestones of the work is the installation of a 27 kWp photovoltaic solar plant on the building's roof, equipped with high-efficiency modules and latest-generation inverters. This infrastructure will generate clean energy on-site, increasing the building's degree of energy self-sufficiency and reducing the carbon footprint derived from its activity.
The President of the Port Authority, Rubén Ibáñez, highlighted that "we continue to commit to sustainability and clean energy, seeking self-consumption as much as possible in those facilities that allow it."
This intervention is co-financed by the European Union through the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), as part of the Pluriregional Program of Spain 2021-2027, whose objective is to accelerate the ecological transition and energy efficiency in public infrastructures.
