How we wanted to preserve micro-ecosystems:
By elevating the modules and positioning them on screw foundations that can be removed without leaving any residue, we have deliberately avoided sealing the site areas.
An optional, subsequent intensive green roof, as well as the option of greening the façade, can also create new habitats within the urban development for native animal and plant species.
Why we consider the entire life cycle:
When selecting building materials, the energy that has to be used to manufacture these products plays a crucial role. This so-called grey energy is meticulously checked for every component used and evaluated in terms of longevity, environmental friendliness and maintenance intensity, and the entire life cycle of the building, starting with the product selection of the building materials used, through the service life, to disposal, must be considered from the outset and always kept in mind.
Selection of partner companies:
With regard to the social aspects of sustainability, we have set ourselves the goal of not making any compromises. This is reflected in the detailed selection of our partners and an in-depth assessment of our suppliers' supply chains.
Our contribution to the environment and against climate change:
Cradle2Cradle also plays a major role in our modules. We always pay attention to recyclability, dismantling, separation by type at the end of the service life and the avoidance of films, adhesives, sealants and silicones. By using the massive solid wood walls, the #FL2 stores approx. 6 tonnes of pure carbon (approx. 23 tonnes ofCO2). The PEFC-certified wood absorbs this amount of CO2 from our atmosphere and thus contributes to a positive climate balance.
