“Preses Nama Kvartāla” 2nd stage office building has received the highest rating “Outstanding” of the international sustainability certification system BREEAM at the design stage. This confirms the compliance of the building project with the highest standards of construction sustainability, which will ensure both a minimal impact on the surrounding environment and a healthy environment for the building’s employees.
BREEAM (British Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method) is the world’s most widely used method for assessing and certifying sustainably constructed buildings. They are evaluated in different categories – construction and management, health and well-being, energy, transport, water, materials, waste, ecology, pollution and innovation.
A BREEAM-certified building benefits developers, maintainers, end-users, passers-by, and the local and global environment. Sustainable construction provides economic benefits throughout the building’s life cycle – lower operating costs and an increase in real estate value, as well as social benefits – safety, comfort and a healthy environment.
In order to ensure compliance of the 2nd stage office building and the surrounding environment with sustainability standards, the use of natural and recyclable materials, the reduction of energy and resource consumption, the improvement of biological diversity and the promotion of an active lifestyle are thought of. Therefore, the building project includes various modern solutions, such as solar panels for energy production, smart building management system, electric car charging points, small flow devices to reduce water consumption, rainwater collection and use, bicycle sheds with showers, CO2 sensors, light pollution control, green walls and others.
