Green
Zone - a road to a sustainable society
In
Umeć, there is a unique environmental area and it
is not a housing area. This is an innovative, sustainable
platform for providing service to motorists and
it is unique because it is entirely designed with
the environment in mind. The area offers service
for both car and driver with a complete service
facility, an energy station with food store plus
a roadside restaurant. The project has been developed
with the support of the Ford Motor Company, McDonaldŽs
and Statoil and is known by the name GreenZone.
GreenZone
is developed with a holistic view based on how we
can, in the best possible manner, conserve natural
resources within the building sector, without compromising
function or comfort. This comprehensive approach
has characterised the project from the outset, from
the design and building phases, as well as having
strongly influenced the various activities in the
area.
All
who have participated in the project, from the building
process to subsequent business activities, have
been educated in environmental issues and all undertakings
in the GreenZone are being certified in accordance
with ISO 14001. The aim of GreenZone is to stimulate
innovative thinking and increase knowledge in the
field of environmentally sound building. Green Zone
