Infinity: a sustainable office building that serves as both a model and a workplace

How do you prove that your sustainability advice works in practice?

Encon’s existing office no longer reflected the company’s ambitions. The team was growing, organisational needs were evolving, and sustainability was becoming increasingly central to client projects.

More than just additional office space was needed. Encon wanted a building that would:

• bring its sustainability vision to life
• demonstrate that energy efficiency and profitability can go hand in hand
• inspire clients through tangible, real-world applications

The challenge was clear: not a conventional office building, but a sustainable headquarters that would simultaneously serve as a workplace, a showcase, and a living laboratory.

A building that serves as an office, showcase and living lab

With Infinity, Encon developed a future-proof office building in which sustainability was embedded in every aspect of the design and operation.

The building combines three key functions:

An efficient workplace

Designed to maximise comfort and productivity, with careful attention to acoustics, natural daylight, and a healthy indoor climate. The working environment supports both focused work and collaboration.

A showcase for clients

Infinity makes sustainable technologies visible and tangible. Visitors can experience firsthand how solutions perform in practice and what value they can create for their own organisation.

A living lab

New technologies are continuously tested, monitored and optimised. Data generated by the building is used to validate insights, improve performance and strengthen client advice.

In addition, the project places a strong emphasis on:

• exceptional energy efficiency, including geothermal energy and smart building controls
• the integration of renewable energy systems
• future-proof design with a long operational lifespan
• certification according to internationally recognised standards (BREEAM and LEED)

The result is a sustainable office building that not only performs well on paper but proves its value every day in practice.

A building that demonstrates what works

Today, Infinity is much more than an office building. It is tangible proof that sustainable investments deliver value both environmentally and economically.

For Encon, this means:

• a working environment that supports employee well-being and performance
• a place where knowledge, innovation and collaboration come together
• a credible demonstration of our own expertise

For clients, this means:

• insight into what is achievable within their own context
• practical examples of proven technologies and applications
• confidence that sustainable choices can also make sound business sense

Beyond its role as a workplace, Infinity has become an inspiring meeting place where companies, partners and stakeholders come together to exchange ideas and accelerate the transition towards a more sustainable energy future.
