Our goal is to achieve carbon neutrality in our own operations by 2030 and to reduce emissions in construction by more than 30% compared to 2019. In order to achieve these goals, we make choices for the benefit of nature at every stage of construction. A ready-made home also enables you to take environmental actions in your everyday life with minimal effort.
We promote the achievement of the objectives at Helsingin Taikalyhty 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.
Geothermal heat
Apartments and domestic water are heated with geothermal heat, which is incomparably emission-free.
Monitoring of technical building systems
YIT’s Valvomo-service (Control room) takes care of, for example, the energy-efficient use of ventilation and heating.
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.
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.
Waste sorting system at home
Kitchens are equipped with a waste sorting system to help with recycling.
Water consumption
Apartment-specific monitoring of consumption in YIT’s own service channel (YIT Plus) helps in water-saving.
Electric car charging points
Some of 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.
