    ReWood

    A standardized building facade panel made from waste wood.

    Aarhus, Denmark
    We make facade-panels from "waste-wood" in a collaboration with recycling stations and municipalities. At the same time we create CSR-jobs by providing a safe productionline that can be maintained by citizens outside the jobmarket. By upcyling and refining waste-wood we are giving new life to waste-wood. In Denmark 283.000 tonnes of wood - that we are able to recycle - are being thrown out every year. That amount equals 283.000 tonnes CO2 that we can save and storage.

    Circular Economy goes BIM

    Circular Economy Goes BIM: A New Age for Building Design?

    Stuttgart, Germany
    Global warming potentials, health aspects, recyclability, separability and flexibility are the main sustainability factors in the future building process. EPEA made it possible to connect these aspects based on the Cradle to Cradle principle with BIM. This complex interrelationship for a consistent circular economy is overcome using a combination of different software. Thereby, the BIM model is able to depict the c2c parameters using clear colouring to indicate the elements' quality.

    Grey water system in residential project

    Botanica K 1,2

    Prague 5, Czechia
    A residential project Botanica K has been the first residential project in Czech Republic to start using the grey water system. The water flowing down the drains of showers, bathtubs and bathroom sinks – water only slightly dirty – could receive basic water treatments, such as filtration and disinfection. Then this treated "grey water" could be piped back into bathrooms to use to flush toilets, rather than drinking water.

    Hydrogen Municipality for Green Future

    Hydrogen Municipality for Green Future

    Belene, Bulgaria
    Hydrogen is the key to our green future in unity with nature for a good quality of life and sound health. The Municipality of Belene has piloted a hydrogen solution for the transition period - we have integrated an electrolyser system that produces hydrogen fuel on-site and adds it to the heating system of our administrative building, thereby reducing the used conventional fuel by around 40% and harmful emission, CO2 in particular by 30%. Expansion to 100% H2 heating powered by solar is planned.
