Since 2022 Ülemiste City no longer uses disposable food containers

If stacked on top of each other, the tower made of all the reusable packaging used in Ülemiste City would reach a height of 6.5 km, which is 145 times the height of a 13-story office building.

By 2030, the whole campus has joined the district heating and cooling system

By using district heating to heat the 10 000 m2 zero-energy office building we save 100 000 of CO2 per year. In 2030, after the whole campus has joined the district heating and cooling system, the annual CO2 amount decreased is the same as the environmental impact of a forest of 144 thousand trees. In terms of surface area, this is comparable to Kadrioru Park or two Ülemiste City campuses.

Every office building saves 1500 trees worth of CO2 annually thanks to the green district heating and cooling solution.

LEED buildings are water and environmentally friendly

LEED seritifitseeritud hooned tarbivad kuni 11% vähem vett. Ülemiste City kontekstis tähendab see säästu 3,2 mln l aastas vett, mis on 40 000 eestlase joogivesi ööpäevas.
*Vee kokkuhoid saavutatakse seadmete abil (automaatsegistid, veesäästlikud loputuskastid jne.)

Pärnu~40 000 residents

We save as much water per year as Pärnu residents consume in a day
