Step-by-step explanation:

Imagine walking inside any big company or an average office. What do you expect to see there? Noisy electronic devices, such as printers and shredders. Trashcans full of non-essential paper, cabinets full of mugs and other single-use objects.

Another way to call it eco-friendly. They try to create a working atmosphere that happens to provide better quality for those who work there. Such establishments usually boast heat efficiencies, energy-saving walls, plenty of natural daylight, better ventilation, and so on. Consequently, compared to traditional offices, the building process of an eco-friendly office requires a greater financial investment. this solution leads to many more benefits.

The number of eco-friendly offices is in continuous growth indeed. This is due to both the ever-growing popularity of green arrangements and the ascending demand for sustainable workspaces. Let’s find together some of the best buildings, among the most pioneering eco-friendly office buildings in the whole world.

This creative and ecologic office, which occupies approximately 900sqm in the Paolo Sari area, offers about 50 workstations in coworking. Special emphasis is given to the eco-compatibility of furniture and working areas.

Designed by OVA Real Estate, this building is currently the headquarters of the corporate Deloitte. It achieved the highest rating from the English certification BREAMM on this earth. Actually it is one of the first business centers to boast a system of LED Ethernet lighting. Not to mention its innovative system. It allows the employees can set the climate and the lighting of the working area using an app on their smartphone. Equally important is that the energy needed to heat and cool the building comes from the groundwater.

Also known as the “energy-positive” office, this building generates more energy than it consumes. This structure is dated 1980. Although, thanks to a renovation, it currently is one of the most eco-friendly workplaces in Norway. Especially characterized by exteriors in carbonized wood and by several unique features in the interior design. The Powerhouse Kjørbo architecture is a mix of the oldest and the latest trends. Another key point stands in its roof – covered in solar panels.

7 More London is the first office building in the UK which received the rating of “exceptional” by the English certification BREAM. Notably, 25% of the energy necessary to the maintenance of the offices is generated on the spot. It exploits both solar panels and recycled oil. By the same token, a bike parking place has the aim to encourage people working there to use eco-friendly means of transport.
