Solearth Ecological Architecture
Environmental Statement
Travel:
Journeys within Dublin City are made by bicycle. All other journeys
use public transport as a preference.
Carbon off-setting is used for any longer journeys particularly
those that might involve plane travel.
Office Resources:
Solearth is located in our ecologically designed low energy Daintree Building
Paper use is minimised, re-use of paper in-house is maximised.
Plastics, paper, card-board, cartridges, glass are all collected
for recycling.
An office compost system deals with compostable matter.
Material Usage:
The office utilises as much as possible healthy, low-embodied
energy materials and re-used articles in its projects.
Future aims:
The immediate future looks at forming a partnership with a photovoltaic
supplier to power electricity needs in the office. Longer term,
Solearth is looking to move to a carbon-neutral building which
can be a net contributor to energy needs.
