For many decades, large office buildings were the status quo and millions still commute to work every day.
๐ But is that still up to date? You leave your home, where you have a good internet connection and a PC, to drive to an office that has the same requirements. Of course there are always exceptions, but many of today's office activities could be designed as remote work.
๐ Sustainability is a big topic, because the energy consumption of a large office building alone is immense. Of course, employees also consume energy within their own four walls, but only the additional energy that is required for work is decisive. The commute itself, on the other hand, falls back 100% on being in the office.
