Kotkatie 6, Karakallio, Espoo

In this project, SATO chose to go with geothermal heat, which makes use of energy stored in the ground. Geothermal heat reduces carbon dioxide emissions and also has an additional advantage in that it may be used for cooling as well. A solar power system producing renewable energy will also be implemented as part of the project. The building will be carbon neutral as regards operational emissions during its use, as renewable electricity will be used in addition to geothermal heat.

Sustainable choises

Sustainability is taken into account not only in heating but also in mobility. All parking spaces will be equipped with electric car charging facilities and the property will also have a shared car for residents to use The building’s carbon footprint is further reduced by the domestically manufactured wooden balconies that will face the courtyard in the new homes. The wooden balconies have a negative carbon footprint, which means that during their lifetime, they will absorb more carbon dioxide than they emit.
