THE BUILDING IN BALANCE
Grönlandet has long been cared for with a focus on both its heritage and its daily use. Today, this approach includes everything from the energy-efficient systems that maintain the building, to the careful selection of furniture and materials, and even the food served in our café. Heat is recovered, ventilation is optimised, lighting is entirely LED, and green electricity powers the property.
Food waste is transformed into compost in 24 hours, leftover fruit is reused, and Mondays are celebrated with plant-based menus. Our small beehive and pollinating plants produce a limited edition of honey each year, while tenants enjoy free ecological coffee, tea, milk and fruit. Recycling is available on all floors, and furniture is preserved and updated with preloved items whenever possible.
WORKING WITH SUSTAINABILITY THROUGHOUT
Working with sustainability at Grönlandet includes all within the property, the working environment, the food that is served and the service provided. The property has the highest possible energy rating for an old building in use (culturally marked). We recover heat and optimize the ventilation system. We only have LED lights and buy green electricity.
