Eco-Friendly Features
The Youthology office is constructed out of recycled, reclaimed, and renewable materials, which protects people from coming in contact with harmful chemicals or unstable natural compounds. Energy-efficient highlights include a green design that chiefly relies on warm spectrum fluorescent lighting. Natural light pours in to further save energy. Individual controls for the heating, venting and air conditioning system conserves energy. Indoor air quality benefits from a technologically advanced air filtration system.
Youthology provides a calming space conducive for body rejuvenation and other beauty treatments. Some of the ideas spread throughout the office are pushing the envelope of design and aesthetics. Embedded plant material used in conjunction with eco-resin doors and interior clerestory windows create an experience similar to walking in a garden. The doors help maximize natural lighting. Other features of Youthology’s eco-friendly design include:
