In Dijon begins the organic life the most harmless building in the world. Power supply system Elithis Tower is capable to make more energy, than it will be necessary for requirements, and emissions in atmosphere of hotbed gases will be in 6 times less, than at standard business centres.

This building symbolizes new ecological standards to which there should correspond modern architecture.

Thierry Bievre, the general director of the contractor, company Elithis Engineering, has suggested to create technically advanced building at preservation of level of the expenses necessary for building of traditional structure. To cooperation over the project he has invited the well-known architect, Jean-Marie Charpentier (Arte Charpentier Architects).

The standard of ecological cleanliness

Thanks to joint efforts, the group has created a building a total area of 5,000 sq.m., height of 10 floors which has represented the sample and possibilities of a combination of requirements of an aesthetics, city integration, comfort, energy and ecology.

For achievement of it, the whole eco-ideology has been created. Materials got out at the account of their influence on environment. Facade furnish — a tree, processed isolation, the minimum application of aluminium which influences ecology. The big windows allow to use a daylight as much as possible. Special solar panels filter light, protecting from brightness and superfluous heat. In total it is used more than 330 solar panels which are placed on a roof.

In a building the unique system of a threefold stream patented by company Elithis is used. By means of this technology, general office energy (from technics, daylight, people) remains, updated and used for needs of a tower again.

Choice in favour of economy

Each participant of the project — owners, customers, developers, managers, users — office employees and visitors — are invited to take part in increase of energy-efficiency of a building, having realised own level of energy-consumption. It will be offered to everyone to make a choice in favour of minimisation of own energy-consumption (it concerns both papers, and light, both water, and transport…), thereby, having deposited money in the general influence on ecological stability.
