All wood used comes from Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified forests.

Smart building management systems control, monitor, and optimize various installations in the complex through sensors. If a sensor reports unusual data, such as leakage or abnormal temperatures, the BMS will trigger an alarm.

The complex is largely powered by 1000m² of solar panels. This accounts for two-thirds of the complex's yearly energy.

A thermal energy storage system has been put in place to store energy for later use. It captures excess heat and cold produced by other installations in the complex, which can later be used to heat or cool the complex or generate power.

Warm water is produced using an aerothermal heat pump. This system obtains up to 70% of the required energy from renewable energy sources and significantly reduces CO2 emissions compared to a traditional gas boiler system.

This complex does not rely on gas for its energy needs, with the exception of the restaurant's kitchen. Instead, we use alternative energy sources such as electricity, solar power, and other renewable sources, which reduce our environmental impact.

High-efficiency thermal insulation has been used in the complex’s facades, walls, roofs, floors, terraces, etc., which results in lower energy consumption, minimized energy losses, and reduced CO2 emissions.

Double glazing with low emissivity treatment is used to achieve a higher thermal insulation. It also provides solar control, taking advantage of solar radiation in winter while limiting the same heat in warmer seasons.

A rainwater collection tank with a capacity of 10m³ collects water used to irrigate the green areas.

Large green areas around the complex are used as thermal stabilizers and to reduce the heat island effect. Local plant species with low watering requirements are planted to promote biodiversity.

An efficient air conditioning system with heat recovery is installed in the complex, from which up to 70% of the energy used can be recovered. 

In addition to this, the system cleans and purifies the air before distributing it into the studios, ensuring healthier air.

You'll find LED lights in the entire complex. The efficient lighting system adjusts to the occupancy of each space, adapts to the user's needs, and has a dimming system that optimizes the use of natural light.

To minimize light pollution, the lights of the complex are dimmed as much as possible between 10 PM and 6 AM.

Students can enjoy abundant daylight in spacious communal spaces such as terraces, the swimming pool, and the rooftop. A private terrace is included with their studio.

Pergolas, canopies, blinds, and curtains provide shading, which reduces the need for cooling in warmer seasons.

Our fully furnished studios are designed to complement the dynamic lifestyle of today’s students and cater to the eco-conscious mindset of this generation.

By providing fully furnished studios with high-quality furnishings, we eliminate the necessity for students to purchase new items. This not only reduces the consumption of virgin resources but also minimizes the purchase of items for short-term use, contributing to a more sustainable and mindful approach.

Students are encouraged to use shared transportation and minimize their CO2 emissions. For a small fee, they can use the shared e-cars available in the complex.

At the TULU smart rental unit, you can rent handy and non-regular-use items, such as a vacuum cleaner, game consoles, board games, and more. For a small fee, students can rent these items whenever they need them, which minimizes the need to purchase new items for short-term use.

Upon arrival at the studio, a welcome package, including a reusable water bottle from Join the Pipe, awaits the students to inspire them to buy less bottled water and instead drink water from the tap.

Students are encouraged to separate their waste, recycle materials such as glass, paper, and plastic, and dispose of them in the designated containers in the recycling room and garbage room. The DO EAT! restaurant offers recycling bins for smaller waste items. Through informative articles about sustainability and waste separation, we aim to help students create eco-friendly habits.

We've partnered up with Hello Energy to become more involved with sustainability. On the screen in the lounge, you can see real-time energy usage and sustainability data of the complex. Additionally, Hello Energy organizes challenges aimed at creating eco-friendly habits and awareness.

Several sports facilities can be found in and around the complex to promote a healthy lifestyle: a running track, a swimming pool, a padel field, a gym, and outdoor gym pads. Join us for one of our sports events, such as boot camps, yoga sessions, or padel tournaments.

At the restaurant DO EAT!, students can enjoy a changing daily menu that includes healthy and vegetarian options such as fruit, soups, steamed vegetables, salads, and much more!

On our news page, we share weekly articles about different topics such as well-being and sustainability and practical guides that help students settle into their new homes.

Adapted studios are specially designed and prioritized for those with reduced mobility requirements.

Gentle slopes throughout the complex ensure smooth, inclusive routes for everybody.

We organize events with students and for students, based on their needs and interests. From Rooftop Movie Nights and football matches to flea markets and social drinks, all events have the shared goal of bringing students together.

Students can participate in sustainability events such as flea markets, vegan cooking classes, and clothing swap parties and join online challenges to minimize their ecological footprint and become more mindful of their habits.

Every day from 6 AM - 10 PM a duty manager is present. During the night, you can rely on the security guard. In addition, security cameras are present at various locations in and around the complex.

The Student Experience team strives to offer a personalized approach to any question or request.

Duty managers aim to recognize all students by name and face to make them feel at home in the complex.

Selected with both durability and sustainability in mind, our staff’s clothing is made from high-quality, organic cotton and dyed without azo-dyes.
