Aire Limpio was founded in 1999 with the conviction that health in buildings would be an increasing challenge in cities. Over time, the company has expanded to offer solutions that support the energy transition in offices, homes, hospitals, schools, and residences.
“Buildings should not just provide acceptable conditions: they must promote the health of people”, argues Tomás Higuero. “The pandemic marked a turning point, solidifying a social awareness that has reinforced the need for safer, better-ventilated, and more efficient indoor spaces”, he adds.
Improving indoor air quality has direct and measurable effects. In hospitals, for example, proper air treatment significantly reduces nosocomial infections; in offices, breathing cleaner air decreases exposure to urban pollutants and the associated risks of respiratory, cardiovascular, or allergic conditions. The challenges in the sector, Higuero points out, involve finding the balance between energy efficiency and environmental health, without sacrificing one for the other.
