Andorra's INH Extends Renewable Energy Certification to Six More Public Housing Buildings
Six additional public housing buildings now hold the Llum Verda label, verifying renewable electricity use. This expansion covers most INH-managed properties and underscores sustainability commitments amid Andorra's green energy push.
Key Points
- INH renewed and expanded Llum Verda certification from FEDA for six new buildings added in 2024.
- Certified sites include Casa Aristot Mora, Gravada de Tobira, and others in Andorra la Vella, Encamp, and Canillo.
- Properties consumed 174,606 kWh renewable electricity, avoiding 21,651 kg CO₂ emissions—equal to 1,000 trees.
- Director Marta Alberch calls it a key step in Andorra's sustainability and green energy transition.
The National Housing Institute (INH) has renewed and expanded its Llum Verda certification from FEDA to cover six new public housing buildings incorporated into its portfolio this year.
The agency first secured the renewable energy label in 2024 for its headquarters in Andorra la Vella, confirming that all electricity use comes from renewable sources. This latest step now extends the certification across most properties in INH's management.
The newly certified buildings include Casa Aristot Mora at Ciutat de Valls 49 and 69, Gravada de Tobira 11-13, and Roureda de Sansa 8, all located in Andorra la Vella; René Baulard 9 in Encamp; Avinguda Sant Joan de Caselles 99 in Canillo; and Borda Nova Fase I at Terra Vella 26-30 in Andorra la Vella.
Combined with the headquarters, these properties used 174,606 kWh of renewable electricity, avoiding 21,651.14 kg of CO₂ emissions—equivalent to the yearly absorption capacity of about 1,000 trees.
INH director Marta Alberch described the expansion as a logical progression in the organisation's sustainability drive. She noted that maintaining and widening the label for public housing and offices supports broader environmental goals and Andorra's transition to green energy.
