Introduced the Energy Portal

In 2022, StartDock introduced the Energy Portal. This portal allows StartDock's customers to access real-time usage data for electricity, gas, water, and CO2 emissions per day and per individual on location. StartDock also updated its energy dashboard for Dockers, allowing them to see their energy costs precisely.

Offset CO2 emissions at locations

Starting from May 1, 2023, StartDock offsets all CO2 emissions generated by its locations (energy, water, and gas) through traceable climate projects via Cawa. StartDock later said it decided to only compensate for all gas it used, after reviewing how compensation was being applied.

Installed water-saving measures

Water-saving devices have been installed on faucets across all StartDock locations (where they were not already present). StartDock also installed water-saving devices on all its faucets and in all toilet cisterns at each location, and used stickers to encourage people to use the smaller flush button.

Added smart lighting

The first spaces at StartDock's Herengracht location have been equipped with smart lighting. StartDock also said it would continue installing smart lighting in common areas at all locations, and that lighting plays a significant role in its energy consumption.
