From the outset, one goal was central: to create a fully sustainable building in which the sanitation system also contributes to energy and resource recovery objectives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this project, Desah provided a decentralised sanitation solution where blackwater and greywater are collected separately and treated locally. This forms the basis for algae cultivation, with the harvested algae serving as feedstock  for a combined heat and power (CHP) system. This creates a closed cycle of water, energy and nutrients within the building itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This innovative design shows that sustainable building goes beyond insulation and solar panels. The wastewater system can also serve as a source of valuable raw materials and renewable energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-seashore-color has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size
