The new building has meant an investment of 1,300,000 euros for Labo’Life. It will employ 30 people, although the building has the capacity to house up to 50 more workers, depending on the company’s needs over the next few years. In recent years, Labo’Life has significantly increased the number of workers: from 2 employees when Labo’Life España was created in 1992, to more than 100 today in the Labo’Life group, of which 60% work at the Consell facilities, which celebrate their 25th anniversary this year and which has become the epicenter of the entire international group.
Labo’Life has paid special attention to the environmental characteristics of its new building, seeking maximum efficiency and low energy consumption. The building, designed by the architectural firm ARQUITECTES (architects Jaume A. Cerdà Guardiola, J. Sebastià Company Oliver and Toni Salort Arbona) is one of the few industrial facilities in the Balearic Islands with an A energy rating (in the Balearic Islands, 43% of buildings have a G rating, and 34% have an E rating), with a 38% reduction in energy demand compared to a conventional building. This has been achieved thanks to the following measures:
– Installation of 32 photovoltaic panels of 305W of unit power for the production of 15,000 kWh/year of electrical energy. This production is sufficient to fully cover 100% of the consumption required in the building for air conditioning and domestic hot water.
– Compact design, taking into account the orientation of the building and its openings.
– Use of low emissivity and solar control glazing.
– Possibility of natural cross ventilation between north and south facades.
– Design of passive solar protection (eaves, pergolas, etc.)
– Use of thermal insulation in facades and roofs, with above average thickness.
– Use of a green roof on most of the building, further increasing insulation.
– Arrangement of skylights to maximize the entry of natural light.
– Use of LED luminaires for all interior lighting.
– Construction of a cistern with a capacity to store 100,000 liters of rainwater, which will be used for toilets and irrigation. This measure will reduce water consumption by 320 cubic meters per year.
– Installation of a high efficiency cooling system. The air conditioning system was installed with aerothermal heat pump systems, outside air with enthalpy heat recovery and free cooling.
Labo’Life, an international pharmaceutical group dedicated to the production and distribution of microimmunotherapy drugs, is formed by Labo’Life España, Labo’Life France, Labo’Life Belgium, Labo’Life Italia and DIMI (Desarrollo Internacional de Microinmunoterapia). At this point, Labo’Life stands out for attracting talent from abroad and retaining talent from the Balearic Islands, since around 30% of the workers in Mallorca are graduates from the University of the Balearic Islands. On the other hand, Labo’Life is a company integrated in its productive environment, is part of the Biomedical and Biotechnological Cluster of the Balearic Islands (BIOIB) and maintains an important open line of collaboration in training, research and employment with the University of the Balearic Islands.
Microimmunotherapy is immunotherapy in low concentrations. Labo’Life drugs are used to support and restore the immune system, the central pillar of health. They use nucleic acids (RNA, DNA, SNA) and immunocompetent substances (cytokines, chemokines or growth factors), obtained synthetically in the laboratory using biotechnology techniques. Their field of application is very broad, and they can treat different pathologies in which the immune system is altered, from viral infections to cancer, different bacterial infections, allergies or autoimmune diseases.
