Kestävän kehityksen ratkaisut:
The building is not merely sustainable (‘less bad’), but delivers a positive contribution to man, the environment and economy.

The focus of the design for the building is on the following themes (people, planet, profit).
Continuous material cycles:
– Materials are appropriate for a biological- or technological cycle
– Cradle to Cradle certified products are used
– Residues are raw materials for new products
– Products and materials have an added value for users and the environment
Renewable energy:
– The building uses only renewable energy
– There is more renewable energy produced by the building than is used
– There is the possibility to integrate innovative energy solutions over time
– Energy-Efficiency has been applied to integrate renewable energy rather than reduce fossil fuels
– The energy system is (physically and virtually) visible
