The Generations Building, our modern production facility in Walzenhausen, is supplied with energy from 23 geothermal probes installed at a depth of 200 metres. They provide the energy for heating in winter and cooling in summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.just.swiss\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Bild-Generationenbau.png\" alt=\"JUST Generationenbau in Walzenhausen, Schweiz\" class=\"wp-image-4331\" width=\"954\" height=\"636\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>JUST Generations Building in Walzenhausen, Switzerland<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By using geothermal probes as well as the heat recovery system, JUST was able to save 270 tonnes of CO2 emissions in comparison to the amount of emissions produced by conventional energy sources. At our headquarters in Walzenhausen, photovoltaic systems supplied 20% of the consumed electricity. The highest number of kilowatt hours of electricity by far was generated in June. Heat recovery and photovoltaic systems therefore saved 298.2 tonnes of CO2 emissions. This is equivalent to the per capita CO2 emissions of approximately 63 people (in 2020*).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:12px\">*&#8221;In 2020 global per capita CO2 emissions totalled approx. 4.7 tonnes.\u201d Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/de.statista.com\/statistik\/daten\/studie\/159811\/umfrage\/co2-emissionen-weltweit-pro-kopf-seit-1990\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">statista.de<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide is-stacked-on-mobile\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.just.swiss\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Wald_954x636-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4351 size-full\"\/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:18px\"><strong>CO2<sub>&nbsp;<\/sub>reduction:<\/strong> 298.2 t lower CO2 emissions with geothermal probe and photovoltaic systems = equivalent to the per capita emissions of <strong>63 people <\/strong>(2020*)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the JUST Generations Building, 1,103 LED lamps are in use every day, saving about 40% of the electrical energy consumed by conventional lamps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide is-stacked-on-mobile\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.just.swiss\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Gluehbirne_954x636-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4348 size-full\"\/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:18px\"><strong>Energy savings: <\/strong>LED lamps save <strong>40%<\/strong> of the electrical power consumed by conventional lamps.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition, JUST uses waste heat from its production facilities to heat and cool the offices.
