Sustainable
Being green is okay. But being 'good' is better.
Green. The word of this century. We are green, they are green, everyone is green. Green. It's so easy to use: 'Of course, we too are green.' Look how easy that is. But what about being 'good'? What about doing 'right'?
The new meaning of less is more
Bim&Beyond is not concerned with sustainability in order to be green. We do this because it is 'good'. For Bim&Beyond, a green building is a 'good' building. A beautiful building that is solid, comfortable and elegant. A building that goes beyond a Dubo-score. A 'good' building is not limited to 'green' solutions that are less bad. This is no longer sufficient and a different way of thinking is now needed.
It is not the energy problem but the shortage of raw materials that will become our main environmental problem. We have enough energy; we have the sun and we live on a crust full of possibilities. All we have to do is use the technical possibilities that already exist. However, according to Bim&Beyond, 'Less is more' takes on a new meaning. No more excessive use of materials, but efficient use of scarce resources. But also investing in a good and reusable shell and a building with architectural quality for now and for the future.
