SWAN: Innovative, Optimized, Water Solutions

“In Swan Water Solutions we are working to apply innovative and optimize solutions in water usage for urban green areas and sustainable efficiency in agricultural production.”

The company promotes sustainability and water and energy saving. For this, they use capillary irrigation, which is the next generation in irrigation.

Swan Water Solutions and Kabel have developed the Project of Smart Spaces in their Madrid Offices. In order to start it up, they have created what they call the 4Ps (People, Process, Platforms & Places). In respect with Places, they have identified that in multiple ocasions the necessary transformation of busines models requieres changes in the culture, which can at the same time be accelerated by changes in the physicla environment.

In Kabel it is thought that the space barriers are being diluted as a result of the irruption of factors such as globalization and technology in our lives and in particular in companies. As examples we see that we no longer have to buy in a physical store, nor do we make a banking transaction in a branch, we do not even need to travel to «feel» an experience, nor go to the office to have a meeting or to collaborate with other colleagues … The Freedom that Telework confers to workers increases their productivity and allows them to better conciliate work-life balance. This favors at the same time motivation and loyalty of talent. With this in mind, it would be interesting to prmote new forms of structuring and understanding the design of office, focusing on creativity and collaboration between people and mental concentration. In particular, in Kabel, what has been implemented is a policy of teleworking that reserves its offices in Madrid as a place of exchange, inspiration and co-creation for its employees, partners and customers.

On the other hand, SWAN WATER SOLUTIONS, together with the company CLACISA have created gardens in within these offices with various objectives: purify the indoor air, reduce the effect of the sick building, improve people’s quality of life by incrasing their productivity and contribute to meet current Green building certifications and Sustainable Cities. The idea of creating Green spaces inside the offices has come from the KABEL company itself. According to Tomás: “In Kabel we believe in the potential that technology the potential to improve people’s lives. We know that our main asset is our consultants and we believe that Platforms, Processes and Spaces have to be placed at your service to achieve the maximum development of the individual and group potential. Moreover,we believe that there is an opportunity for technology to be used for the intelligent management of buildings and spaces. It is for taht reason, that we have decided to integrate technology into the management of the landscaping of our new offices by monitoring and optimizing the necessary resources. The question is “Why an orchard and plants?” Well, the idea is that people who may need to spend the day inside the offices can relax by viewing an orchard or playing the table football. The integration of natural spaces can promote creativity, and this is a new way of working. On the other hand, our company only offers in its portfolio those solutions that have been experience previously.

Swan Water Solutions that develeops landscaping projects inside offices, by managing the integration of appropriate plants for each different location. The company uses certain systems that allow its correct development which at the same time do not require expensive maintenance work. Planters and pots of design, vertical or hanging gardens are integrated into the spaces improving in this manner the decoration of offices, the internal environment, health, productivity and the well-being of people. Developing our working life in a natural environment is not a luxury, it is a necessity.
