Our impact on the environment grows more

detrimental by the day; it’s clear that remediation

has to happen from the ground up, inside

and out. Designers, architects and the general

population need to be more conscientious than

ever when dealing with energy, water and waste

consumption. Attaining net-zero usage demands

high-performance spaces like the ones presented

here. – LGM

In a seaside village in Spain, a renovated tourist office is now equipped with
a ventilated façade and Grespania Coverlam tiles, the surfaces of which
are treated with H&CTiles, a ceramic application that significantly reduces
nitrogen oxide pollution and provides self-cleaning, antibacterial and odour-
removing properties.

Designed by B+H Architects, the Joyce Centre for Partnership & Innovation
at Mohawk College’s Fennell Campus in Ontario is Canada’s largest net-zero
institutional building. The 96,000-m^2 research and learning facility is a solar-

devoted to sustainable building and learning.

To help clients view and compare information while assessing the sustainability and health
of an interior, the Dutch Green Building Council, NIBE and Ex Interiors developed online
platform Inside/Inside. It invites users to create a mood board that outlines the specific
details of (potential) products and materials. After everything is in place on the mood
board, the user can calculate a shadow price that covers a project’s total environmental
impact and can determine its position within the circular economy.
