Brandenburg
In the picturesque landscapes of Brandenburg, an aging barn has been thoughtfully repurposed into a contemporary family summer house with a strong emphasis on sustainability. The primary objective of this project was to repurpose the aged barn into a modern, energy-efficient family summer house while minimizing its environmental footprint. ecoLocked utilized 30 cubic meters of ready-mixed concrete for the foundation slab, ensuring both structural integrity and ecological responsibility. Notably, the retirement of carbon credits associated with this initiative underscores our dedication to transparency, with these credits now accessible on the Carbonfuture platform, providing a transparent record of the project's contribution to carbon removal.
By incorporating 2 tonnes of eLM Zero, ecoLocked plays a significant role in reducing the environmental impact of construction. This innovative material helps to remove 5.2 tonnes of CO2 equivalent from the atmosphere, effectively capturing and storing it within the concrete structure.
eLM Zero is an admix material that reduces the net carbon footprint of concrete by up to 100% while delivering optimized performance. It partially substitutes conventional inputs like cement and aggregates, minimizes the carbon footprint, and provides targeted functionalities such as thermal insulation and durability. It combines carbon sequestration, emission reduction, and functional improvements, allowing concrete producers to “inset” carbon and compensate for all residual emissions from the materials they purchase, such as cement, thereby creating carbon-neutral concrete. The integration is simple and occurs directly at the concrete plant or construction site.
