Ecosystem services at Brf Utsikten

An ear to the ground

Ecosystem services are the positive benefits that healthily functioning ecosystems provide to people. Before we embark on building the homes of tomorrow, we always carefully study the site on which we intend to build. We call this an ecosystem services analysis, which means that we investigate what services nature can contribute, such as clean water, binding carbon dioxide or reducing erosion. Then we make sure that the land contributes just as much, or even more, once the project is complete. So, with us you can keep your ear to the ground and take responsibility for the future.

What measures does Brf Utsikten plan to implement?

1 Garage roof and joists reinforced for various forms of cultivation

2 Minimise the area of hard surfaces

3 Plant flowers that bloom throughout the season and other plants to encourage pollination

4 Strive to use local species to the greatest possible extent

5 Barbeque areas planned to make use of conditions

6 Social meeting places

Ecosystem services that measures planned by Brf Utsikten contribute to:

Water regulation

Waterflow will be regulated, meaning that we are protected from, for example, flooding.

Preventing soil erosion

The ability to bind soil, regulate water and thereby prevent erosion.

Recreational and aesthetic value

The ability of ecosystems to create experiences and contribute to recreation.

Pollination and seed dispersal

The transfer of pollen between plants, so that fruits, berries and crops can form. Seeds are dispersed by wind, water, animals and insects to other places where they can germinate

For young and old – and everyone in between The courtyard is designed with playful elements for energetic children and comfortable seating and barbeque areas for adults to socialise in.
