B-Right Urban Living contributed to the development of the Utrecht Science Park by building, together with Jan Snel, 400 brand new self-contained student apartments with social meeting rooms and workspaces. A solution for the acute shortage of affordable housing for Dutch and international students at Utrecht University. Use of modular units allowed for construction to be completed within a few months. Sustainability was an important factor in the construction of these units. Thanks to good insulation, a heat pump system and rooftop solar panels, the apartments are compliant with an EPC of 0.4. The use of renewable energy sources not only reduces the impact on the environment, but also ensures that the cost to residents is kept within acceptable limits.
