Sustainability
Finding the right balance between sustainability, resilience, energy and indoor environment requires a holistic way of thinking, where each aspect is considered not in isolation but as part of interconnected and ever-changing systems.
Balancing and thinking holistically
Our lives are impacted by the environments we live, work and leasure in. Modern way of living means we are spending more time indoors than ever before. And we need buildings to provide us with safe, comfortable and healthy indoor environments. We need to look at the balancing and thinking hollistically about everything in order to provide us with the good life quality.

"The sustainability revolution will, hopefully, be the third major social and economic turning point in human history, following the Neolithic Revolution – moving from hunter-gathering to farming – and the Industrial Revolution."
— Prince Charles
Linking sustainability and circularity
Interconnection between sustainability and circularity is very simple. Sustainability means the environment and also represents our planet, energy is an aspect of the economy. Circularity focuses on creating resource systems by maximizing the reuse, repair, and recycling of products and materials in buildings. There is a great need for interconnecting sustainability and circularity to address the climate changes.

Is resilience a key to the future?
The future is here sooner than we think. What we do today has a direct impact on tomorrow. And that is very true for the buildings and people living in them. We have to shape the buildings to suit our needs. And we need these buildings to function in the most resilient way. Therefore, resilience is a key factor in buildings, infrastructure, technology, and more.
