Building 60 – the highest environmental standards Building 60 opened at our headquarters in the summer of 2021. The six-floor building covers 13,400m2 and provides 800 workstations, along with a 400-seat restaurant, gym and outdoor exercise centre. In addition to being a comfortable office space, the building comes with a number of energy and resource-saving innovations:
- at least 80% of the main parts of the building (foundation, interior walls and insultation) have been sustainably sourced. All of the wood is certified as coming from sustainable sources
- 330 solar panels have been installed on the roof. (In total, 2,681 solar panels have been installed on parking garages, as well as on buildings 10, 50 and 60.)
- a thermal energy storage system allows heat to be stored in summer and reused in winter; conversely, cold is stored in winter to reuse in summer. The result is that no natural gas is
needed to heat the building. This system was already proving its worth in Building 50 - systems have been installed to reduce water usage in bathrooms, detect leaks and collect rainwater
- and energy efficient lighting systems and elevators add to the building’s sustainability
credentials.
Building 60 has also been designed with sustainable transport solutions in mind:
- indoor space is available to park 180 bicycles and there is a facility to charge e-bikes
- access to showers, changing rooms and lockers
- charging points for electric cars are available
- an area has been set aside for car-share parking.
