Apartments in Tampereen Kanavansilta

In 2019, we committed to halve the material emissions of our residential buildings by 2030, and we aim to heat YIT Homes carbon neutrally.

This is how we aim to achieve these objectives in Tampereen Kanavansilta:

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

All the parking spaces include the option to install a charging point for an electric vehicle, which makes the installation of the charging device possible as needed.
