Green Footprints
Green Footprints is the landscape surrounding the newly renovated hotel- and conference center Green Solution House in Rønne, Bornholm. The relation between the building and landscape demonstrates how the grown and the built environment can benefit each other by implementing new technologies and circuit design to create a dynamic, resilient cradle-2-cradle system. Green Solution house and Green Footprint-project turns waste materials into a valuable resource and makes Bornholm an example to follow regarding sustainability, environmental responsibility and renewable energy. Compost from the kitchen garden is used as fuel to heat up the hotel and generate electricity, while black water is rinsed in an algae tank and used for irrigation.
