Towards a greener office: the advantage of coworking spaces in sustainability
In a world increasingly aware of environmental impact, the way we work is experimenting a profound transformation. Traditional offices, with their high energy consumption and significant carbon footprint, are giving way to more sustainable and efficient workspaces.
Coworking and flexible workspaces are emerging as greener alternatives compared to traditional offices, because they offer not only flexibility and efficiency, but also a smaller ecological footprint. According to a study conducted by IWG in collaboration with ARUP, 84% of companies that have adopted the hybrid work model have managed to reduce their energy usage and carbon footprint. This flexible model has led to nearly a 20% decrease in energy use thanks to the efficient use of office space and access to flexible workspaces.
In this context, Gran Via Business & Meeting Center stands out as a leader in this transition, offering eco-friendly alternatives that benefit both companies and the planet.
Energy Efficiency: A Pillar of Sustainability
One of the main advantages of coworking spaces is their ability to improve energy efficiency. These spaces are typically designed with a focus on optimizing energy consumption. Unlike traditional offices, which operate with a fixed infrastructure that does not easily adapt to changes in the number of employees or resource usage, coworking spaces allow the implementation of shared energy solutions that reduce overall consumption.
Waste Reduction
The philosophy of sharing resources in coworking spaces also helps to reduce waste. Instead of each company having to equip and maintain its own office with furniture, equipment, and supplies, coworking spaces provide these facilities centrally. This not only decreases material use, but also facilitates the implementation of more effective recycling and reuse practices.
