In the broadest sense, this is a reservoir that absorbs more CO2 than it releases, effectively reducing the CO2 from the atmosphere. Above all, that should include Wood materials and various measures to decarbonise the air succeed.
Oversized passive energy systems
Above all, this includes use passive energy systems, such as oversized air-to-ground heat exchangers. Heat is captured via underground pipes from places where it is not needed and passed on to other places that need to be heated. This system then ensures a warm indoor climate in winter and helps cool the rooms in the hot summer months.
Concept of “energy sobriety”
In addition, the creative carbon scavengers have also created the term “energy sobriety” for the project. This idea describes the lifestyle changes that individuals make to achieve carbon neutrality.
In other words: measures should be taken in the planning that make it easier for people to produce less CO2. Simple example: Each apartment will have an integrated office space so that the residents of Mandragore can work from home. This would reduce commuter traffic and thus also CO2 emissions.
