INTO Concept acoustic pods and workspace solutions have been used in several projects where the building has been awarded or is targeting LEED, BREEAM or WELL certification. Our solutions contribute to workplace environments that combine sustainability, flexibility and a high quality user experience.
It is important to note that certifications are always granted to the building as a whole, not to individual products. However, products can support project objectives through factors such as acoustics, space efficiency and user wellbeing.
ESA ESRIN - LEED and WELL at the highest level
- ESA ESRIN (Building 9), located in Frascati, Italy, is a European Space Agency project that combines sustainable construction with a strong focus on user wellbeing.
