Environmentally active home is YIT’s concept through which we describe the choices made in construction that affect the environment.
This is what makes Helsingin Gunnel an Environmentally Active Home:

Emission calculation
Carbon footprint calculations are used in residential construction to, among other things, select materials with lower environmental impacts.

Renewable construction site electricity
Wind-generated EKOenergy electricity is used at the construction site.

Water fixtures
Water-saving plumbing fixtures, such as faucets and showers, are installed in the kitchen, bathroom, and toilet.

Waste sorting system at home
The kitchen is equipped with a sorting station that enables recycling.

Recycling at a housing company
Sorting waste for recycling is possible thanks to the housing company's modern recycling facilities.

Electric car charging points
Some of the housing company's parking spaces are equipped with charging point readiness for electric vehicles, making it easy to install a charging device when needed.

Carsharing
The need to own a car is reduced when renting a leased car from the housing company is convenient and affordable.

Water consumption
Apartment-specific water consumption monitoring can help save water.

Monitoring of technical building systems
YIT’s Valvomo-service (Control room) supports, among other things, the energy-efficient use of ventilation and heating.
