“La Concha Pearl is one of the best condominium values in Baja offering energy efficient resort living.”
La Concha Pearl is one of the “smartest” and most energy efficient buildings ever built in Baja! We are utilizing QuadLock (www.quadlock.com) “cast-in-place” Concrete Form Product. Our construction team has extensive experience building with this state-of-the-art construction material. QuadLock is substantially more expensive than traditional building material, but the long term benefits are well worth the added up-front cost. QuadLock will reduce energy costs 37% to 42% every month of the year, and provide incredible sound insulation from exterior noise and in-between units.
 Green Living in La Paz
Q: If this is such a superior building material than conventional methods, why isn’t everybody using it?
A: The primary reason is that this material costs as much as 40% more than cinder block, and most developers do not understand that real VALUE is more than just square footage and price, it’s found in long-term energy savings, insulation and superior strength.
Cooling
We have designed our air conditioning system to utilize a Chiller that will reduce energy costs by more than 50% to cool our units, and the E2 coated with thermal breaks window systems we are using will dissipate up to 40% more heat than conventional dual-pane windows.
Solar Heating
We have designed an integrated pool and spa solar heating system that employs state-of-the-art solar panels to provide year-round heating for the spa and pools as well as perimeter lighting for our common areas.
