Facilities
Business facilities have a smaller or greater impact on the local and 'distant' biodiversity depending on certain construction options and the building materials used. Aspects such as lighting, heating or cooling systems, air flow or insulation also influence energy consumption and hence climate change, which is one of the five major threats to biodiversity.
