Solar cells
During the summer of 2022, the roof of the property was renovated and filled with solar cells, to invest in renewable energy!
Bike friendly
There is a strong biking-culture in Lund and at Greenhouse, we promote biking for our students. Just outside the house there are bike stands for all students and an open-air bike fix workshop, where you can make sure your tires are inflated and your bike is in top condition. If you are not a biker, there are bus stations at convenient walking distance.
Heating
New Greenhouse gets a new eco-friendly heating system installed in 2023!
The heat is recycled in the ventilation-system. This gives back about 4 degrees of temperature that otherwise would be lost – instead it is sent back into the building.
Eco-friendly kitchen appliances
Kitchen appliances are all eco-friendly and have low energy consumption (A++ and better). Taps and toilets are designed for efficient water use.
LED-lights
Greenhouse is lit up with LED-light, the most ecofriendly light with a long life- span and high energy-efficiency. Some lights are also controlled by motion detectors and time-control to save even more energy.
Recycling
The recycling and sorting house makes recycling easy, with separate boxes for your different kinds of waste, and clear how- to guides.
Putting greenery aside, Greenhouse provides social interaction and community in the building, by inviting community spaces. There is a small gym with a sauna, for your complimentary use. You have laundry stations, which are booked from each student floor.
There are kitchens and lounge areas – some large and bright, others smaller and more homely – shared by the students. Here you can cook, eat, relax with friends and enjoy the spectacular views over the Scanian landscape, where you see all the way to the Öresund bridge.
