Today is Earth Day!

On this very special day, we’re not going to try and convince you that we’re perfect, nobody is. We are committed to shaping a better tomorrow by improving the way we live today. From the materials we build with to the processes we use, Cohabs tries to design, build, and innovate in a way that helps our planet. We endeavor to be active participants in the preservation of the environment. This Earth Day, we wanted to update you on the continuous efforts we are taking to ensure a positive and sustainable impact. Just how do we do that?

How we offset our CO2 footprint

Every day we try to make improvements, no matter how small, as long they help us to shape a better tomorrow. Achieving carbon neutrality is one of our commitments. Every house is designed to reduce our footprint, just by the simple principle of people living together and sharing most of the common spaces. Coliving is a sustainable way of living. But it's not enough, and that's why we monitor the energy consumption of our complete network, and improve where we can by adding solar panels, temperature controllers, motion sensor detectors for the lights, water controllers in the showers, etc. These are small improvements that put us on track to achieve our goal but they don't make up for our carbon footprint completely yet. That's why Cohabs will offset the CO2 footprint by supporting a project for each of our members.

Sustainable living for a better tomorrow

Our houses give people with similar intentions, interests, and values the possibility to share spaces and create memories. As such, we can promote a sense of community within the individuals living with us and contribute to a much larger cause too: our planet.
