Sustainable buildings

Masterplan for buildings

UCPH’s Holistic plan for Campuses and Buildings focuses on sustainable development and use of the university's buildings and facilities through 4 initiatives:

• Continued energy optimisation of buildings and energy-friendly operations
• Imposed use of sustainable materials and solutions in a lifecycle perspective in construction and maintenance projects
•  Measurable overviews of the University’s total climate footprint and resource impact in campus and operational plans
• Intensified use and sharing of areas.

The Maersk Tower

The world's most sustainable laboratory building?

Sustainability, particularly energy optimization, has been a top priority in designing the Maersk Tower, which is built to withstand future climate changes. A large number of solutions targeting sustainability challenges have been integrated into the building’s design and construction. For example, rainwater is diverted to optimize resources and keep surrounding buildings in mind.
