The renovation and expansionof this 4,500m2 hotel and conference center on the Danish island of Bornholmsupports a positive, healthy footprint and aspires to eliminate the concept of waste by applying 75 sustainable solutionsacross all aspects of the project, from building materials and systems to energygeneration and monitoring.
GXN and our client designed the Green Solution House to evolve andimprove over time. All products andtechnologies are, in principle, replaceable with their more sustainablecounterparts thought the life of the building.

One big learning from the project - my very first buildingproject - is that the building industry in general is not very innovative, and there is a huge communication gap between the different partners. To say it short: Architects have no respect of engineers, architects and engineers have no respect of the contractor and none of them listens to the investor/owner. In general everybody wants to do it there way, and to make money they turn to "copy and paste" eventhough the owner wants to be innovative - simply because the incentive structure in the building industry is based on "fast in fast out". 90% of my time has been used on communication trying to get people to work together, to create momentum and "translate" the differenct language each partner uses. My buildings are 1. generations. The money I earn on operating the hotel will be reinvested to create 2.nd generation of the building with new materials and solutions. The buildings will never stop changing. Next time - I will work together with smaller companies when I choose advisors - especially the engineers - I rather be a big customer in a small company, than a small one in a big company.
Building users opinion
The delegates at conferences in our new conferencefacilities say: Because the indoor climate is so wonderfull and there are so much daylight we feel fresh even after a long day of plenty slideshows.

At Green Solution House we produce energy from food leftovers. All food scraps and organic material from the main building is fed into our own stationary pyrolysis plant, that likes all carbon based waste. The material is first dried and ground, then all the oxygen is removed. The pyrolysis process heats the waste, breaks it down, and then produces natural gas and char. A cyclone separates the gas, producing biochar, that sequesters carbon in a stable state. Biochar is valuable as an additive for the gardens as it improves soil health and water retention. The gas is combusted in a Combined Heat and Power (CHP) engine generating heat and electricity to be used in the building. Excess hot water is stored onsite in a swimming pool, repurposed as an energy storage system. The pyrolysis plant is self-supporting, and only requires a small amount of energy to start up.
Green Solution House will release approximately 12.4 tons of dry material to the Pyrolysis Plant yearly. The plant has the capacity to process 1 ton of dry material over 6 hours which produces an output of 180 m3 of gas, 360 kWh of ectricity, and 100 kg of biochar.
