From the beginning, one goal was central: to realise an integrally sustainable building, in which the sanitation system also contributes to energy and recycling goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this project, Desah provided a decentralised sanitation solution where black and grey water is collected separately and processed locally. This forms the basis for growing algae, which in turn serve as a raw material for a combined heat and power (CHP) plant. 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 be a source of valuable raw materials as well as energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-seashore-color has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size
