Helsingin Nihdin Portti - Apartments for Sale

We are committed to the Paris Climate Agreement and our objectives, to be achieved by 2030, are carbon neutrality in our own operations and emission reductions of over 30% in construction, using 2019 as the baseline.

We promote the achievement of the objectives at Helsingin Nihdin Portti as follows:

Emission calculation

Among other things, carbon footprint calculations are used in residential construction for choosing materials that place less burden on the environment.

Renewable electricity at a construction site

Wind-generated electricity is the only source of energy used at construction sites.

Recycling at a construction site

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

Water fixtures

Kitchens, bathrooms and toilets are equipped with water-saving water fixtures such as taps.

Waste sorting system at home

Kitchens are equipped with a waste sorting system to help with recycling.

Recycling at a housing company

In a pipeline-based collection system the waste is inserted into the pipe through a hatch located on the external wall of the residential building. The waste travels straight through the pipe to a recycling location, which makes the use of garbage trucks redundant.

Electric car charging points

Each of the parking spaces in a housing company comes with an electric car charging point. 

Water consumption

Apartment-specific monitoring of consumption in YIT’s own service channel (YIT Plus) helps in water-saving.

Monitoring of technical building systems

YIT’s Valvomo-service (Control room) takes care of, for example, the energy-efficient use of ventilation and heating.

Building materials

Using low-carbon hollow-core slabs cuts down the material emissions of the whole building by about 8%.
