The Jucu factory facility incorporates a range of innovative and sustainable features including:

 

Energy saving - The factory deploys a range of energy saving features including a thermal envelope around the core of the building, high efficiency glazing, reduced lighting power density, and occupancy sensors to manage heat and lighting. These features enable the building to use over 25% less energy than a standard building.

 

Water usage - By installing a range of water saving devices and systems such as flow limiters the overall use of water at the Nokia building is over 30% less than at a standard building.

 

Recycling - Reducing the environmental footprint of the factory has been considered both during its construction and ongoing operations. Around 30% of the materials used to construct the factory were made from recycled materials and additional ones sourced locally. Additionally,  around half of the construction waste was reclaimed and recycled. The USGBC also recognized Nokia's best practice waste management system, including dedicated recycling of materials such as production waste,  cardboard, paper, plastic, glass, and metals.

 

Sustainable transport - Nokia encourages sustainable transport alternative for factory employees including a shuttle system to reduce personal car use, 18 preferred parking for low-emitting vehicles, and provisions for bicycle storage and showers.

 

Superior working environment - The factory building was designed with a range of high quality facilities to ensure employees' comfort and wellbeing. These include lockers and storage space, excellent catering facility, well equipped gym, health clinic and sauna.
