The Green House integrates into the series of green office blocks built recently that do not feature yet the whole toolbar of sustainable architecture and are only modestly innovative: they were designed to include just as much as needed in order to be rated as top-end real estates in the market and only what is profitable PR-wise. However, there is an ambition here, which is a welcome fact anyway as it paves the way for would-be buildings that will meet the Nearly Zero criteria and stay within their ecological footprint owing to their building materials and thus remain carbon-dioxide neutral even according to the whole life-cycle carbon-footprint calculation.
