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 Taikalyhty an Environmentally Active Home:

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

Energy class A
High energy efficiency reduces the need for heating energy and may decrease the carbon footprint.

Geothermal heat
The apartments and hot water are heated with low-emission geothermal energy.

Building materials
In construction, we use low-carbon hollow-core slabs, which have lower emissions than conventional hollow-core slabs.

Biodiversity
Diverse vegetation is selected for the yard area, taking into account pollinators as well as the habitats of microorganisms and birds

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

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

Recycling at a construction site
At least 75% of the waste from our construction site is sorted for recycling.

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

Recycling at a housing company
In a pneumatic waste collection system, waste is deposited through a hatch and transported through underground pipes for recycling, which can reduce garbage truck traffic in the area.

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

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

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.
