Kestävän kehityksen ratkaisut:
Circl has been created to be energy efficient and easy to disassemble, to make as little impact as possible on the planet. Many of the things used to build Circl have already had a previous life. Other raw materials – from the wood used in its construction to the aluminium on its outer walls – can be put to new uses in the future. What’s more, Circl is a living lab – a place where anyone and everyone with good ideas about sustainability and circularity can find the space they need.
It has gained BREEAM’s ‘Excellent’ certificate. All the windows have been covered with infra-red foil to stop the building from warming up too quickly and to save energy by reducing the need for air conditioning.
The head office also switched to sourcing its energy from wind turbines and bio-gas, cutting its CO2 emissions to a minimum, and the bank had implemented a range of waste-saving measures too.
The principles of Circl are clear: minimal single use of raw materials, as energy-neutral as possible, everything designed to be dissambled later.
