LIMA, Low Impact Mediterranean Architecture, is an initiative that aims to demonstrate that reducing environmental impact of buildings in countries with warm climates is viable, both technically and economically. The project, which also improves the comfort and habitability of the building, can be applied to both new works, as well as to rehabilitation. A holistic view of the environmental impact thet we are presenting not only includes energy consumption during the building's period of use, but incoporation of construction materials throughout the building's lifecycle, likewise covering the water cycle and aspects such as health and comfort. The Taller Barceloneta, which was commissioned by the Town Hall of Barcelona, is an example of the LIMA Model under real conditions
