Circular Sustainability
MATERIALS
The design of Green Solution House is based on
several parameters to show a holistic approach to
sustainability. The building is certified to the standards
of the recognised German Sustainable Building
Council (DGNB), based on the criteria of the Active
House vision and inspired by the Cradle to Cradle life
cycle concept. The building and landscape present the
latest developments in the field of sustainable
architecture; we show that sustainability involves more
than aspiring to green certification, and that it is
possible to quantify our project’s high quality on the
basis of several parameters.

We developed criteria to select materials, prioritizing
certifications and environmental labels, recyclability,
social responsibility, use of resources, safety of
compounds, and energy in production, to name a few. As
a result all materials chosen have been documented to
parts per million to secure a healthy indoor climate. Also
a number of intelligent materials are used that captures
dust particles and clean the air for formaldehyde and
other harmful compounds. Locally sourced options take
priority

48. RENEWABLE ENERGY
On-Site Energy Production
ENERGY
At Green Solution House we produce energy. Solar
cells generate electricity and our on-site pyrolysis plant
converts organic waste to electricity and heat. Hot
water comes from a solar thermal plant integrated into
the landscape. We converted our 30 year old
swimming pool into a thermal energy storage system.
To keep an eye on operations, we display our energy
consumption and on-site production with a custom
visualisation and any excess energy is sold back to the
Bornholm grid.
