Samla | Yliopistonkatu

Tonnes are added to euros as Samla Capital develops and manages the properties it owns. The cooperation with LeaseGreen started with the energy renovation of a high-value property in Jyväskylä.

Olympic champion Samppa Lajusen wants to be a pioneer in responsible real estate investing . LeaseGreen designed and implemented an extensive energy renovation of a building in the centre of Jyväskylä, which has previously served as a call centre and a registry office.

The energy renovation included replacing the building’s ventilation and lighting and upgrading the building automation system.

There were a lot of ventilation machines at Yliopistonkatu 28 – or rather an exceptionally high number per square metre. However, their technology was mostly outdated and they did not work as a whole. The renovation, designed and implemented by LeaseGreen, streamlined the ventilation and made the whole more manageable.

The renovation reduced the building’s carbon footprint by 31% and annual energy consumption by 19%. The annual reduction in the carbon footprint is equivalent to almost one million kilometres of CO2 emissions from a standard passenger car.
