Sustainability at ADDrest

At ADDrest, we believe sustainability goes beyond energy efficiency—it’s about rethinking space to reduce environmental impact. Our innovative solutions cut material use, lower carbon footprints, and optimize energy consumption, all while enhancing comfort and flexibility. By maximizing space efficiency, we help developers, homeowners, and businesses build a more sustainable future without compromise.

Environmental Impact

Double room usage = cut the materials & resource used

  • Allows one room to serve two functions – bedroom at night and a living/ office/ workout space during the day.

  • Less construction needed per project – reducing raw material use (concrete, steel, glass, and wood)

  • Fewer walls, doors, and separate spaces = lower environmental impact.

Longevity & durability of products

  • Tested Durability: Our products are tested to withstand 5,000 cycles, which is equivalent to 14 years of everyday use.

  • Sustainability: we contribute to reducing the consumption of raw materials and manufacturing energy required for replacements

  • Smaller, multifunctional spaces require less heating, cooling, and lighting – significantly lowering energy consumption.
  • With fewer walls and enclosed areas, HVAC systems work more efficiently.
  • Hotels and co-living spaces save on energy bills while improving guest comfort.

  • Instead of expanding building footprints, our system allows developers to maximize existing space, reducing the need for land-intensive projects.
  • Prevents excessive urban sprawl – which destroys green spaces and agricultural land.
  • Encourages denser, more sustainable living without sacrificing comfort.

  • Traditional room setups often require multiple pieces of furniture that get replaced frequently, leading to more waste.
  • ADDrest system reduces the need for excess furniture, keeping materials in use longer.
  • Supports a circular economy approach, where less furniture is discarded over time.

By using the same space for both living and working, the need for daily commuting is significantly reduced. This helps lower carbon emissions from transportation, particularly in urban areas where traffic congestion and pollution from vehicles are major contributors.

With the ability to combine work and living spaces, there is less need for multiple cars or additional parking spots. This decreases urban sprawl, reducing the demand for large parking structures and the carbon footprint associated with their construction and maintenance.

The flexibility to convert the living space into a home office reduces the need for office spaces in commercial buildings. This not only decreases energy consumption in large office buildings but also cuts down on the construction materials required to build these facilities.

Key performance indicators

  • Efficient Land Use – A 50 sqm apartment functions as a 70 sqm space.

  • Lower Carbon Footprint: less with ~8,200 kg CO₂ for a optimized 50sqm apartment

  • Home office – Total Pollution Reduction: ~2-3 tons of CO₂ per household annually, contributing to cleaner air, reduced traffic congestion, and a more sustainable urban environment.

  • Green Building Certifications – Aligning the product with sustainable real estate standards

  • Estimated Savings: Reduction in daily commutes could lead to 1.5 tons of CO₂ saved annually for a single household.

  • Reduced Construction Waste – waste less by 50%

  • Reduced energy consumption by 30%

Construction cost savings

Construction cost savings: By implementing a ADDRest products in a 50 sqm apartment, achieving the utility of a 70 sqm apartment, the following savings can be realized:

Since additional walls, flooring, and doors are no longer needed:

  • Concrete: 1,000 kg saved (~160 kg CO₂ avoided) → €800 saved
  • Steel: 200 kg saved (~360 kg CO₂ avoided) → €600 saved
  • Wood: 500 kg saved (~100 kg CO₂ avoided) → €400 saved
  • Insulation & Plaster: 600 kg saved (~80 kg CO₂ avoided) → €300 saved
  • Labor & Installation Costs Avoided → €1,500 saved
  • Total Construction Cost Savings: €3,600 (one-time savings)
  • Total Carbon Footprint Reduction: ~700 kg CO₂

Reducing the heated/cooled area leads to:

  • Heating & Cooling: 2,500 kWh saved (~500 kg CO₂ avoided) → €500 saved per year
  • Lighting & Electricity: 1,000 kWh saved (~250 kg CO₂ avoided) → €200 saved per year
  • Total Energy Savings: €700 per year
  • Total Carbon Footprint Reduction: ~750 kg CO₂ per year

Less space needed = less furniture:

  • Wardrobes, desks, shelves, additional sofas, etc.
  • Estimated savings: €4,000
  • Total Carbon Footprint Reduction: ~300 kg CO₂

  • One-Time Savings: €7,600 (Construction + Furniture)
  • Energy Savings (10 Years): €7,000
  • Total Cost Savings (10 Years): €14,600
  • Total Carbon Footprint Reduction (10 Years): ~8,200 kg CO₂ (~equivalent to planting 410 trees)

Social Responsibility

  • Affordable Housing Solutions – Maximizing space allows more affordable and liveable housing in high-density cities.

  • Work-Life Balance – With multifunctional spaces, people can work, relax, and live in the same area without compromise.

  • Improved Urban Living – Transformable spaces allow people to live comfortably in smaller apartments.

  • Enhancing Work-from-Home Comfort – Adaptable spaces support hybrid work by converting bedrooms into offices.

  • Accessibility & Aging in Place – Mobile walls and lifting beds can be adjusted for elderly or disabled users.

  • Disaster Relief & Emergency Housing – Fast-installation, modular solutions for crisis housing.

  • More flexibility and dynamism: A home that adapts to your lifestyle reduces stress, increases comfort, and improves mental clarity.

  • Durability and Safety standards: TÜV certified, 5,000 cycle tests, proving a 14-year lifespan with daily use

Governance & Compliance

  • Transparency: Ethical business practices, fair pricing, and responsible partnerships.

  • Regulatory Compliance & Certifications: TÜV-certified products tested for safety, durability, and quality, CE certified

  • Innovation for Sustainability: R&D investments in green solutions.

  • Workplace Ethics & Diversity: Commitment to equal opportunities, diversity, and fair labor practices
