The apartment complex will fulfil Class A energy requirements and incorporate solar panels.

It will also feature carbon-negative ceiling boards in its communal areas and a boiler system in the heat distribution room.

YIT area manager Marjaana Nissilä-Ryytty said: “Designed in the spirit of the historical industrial setting, the new, modern residential and business area of Pajala will become an innovative, eco-smart neighbourhood with a central location in Tourula in the heart of Jyväskylä.

“The courtyard of the first apartment building to be built in the area will feature a meadow that will also retain stormwater.

“We prepared a design-phase, integrated life-cycle estimate for the project to help guide the design and structural solutions.”
