Prague reveals design plans for the Vltava Philharmonic Hall

The offices of AFI Europe received 98.87% in the BREEAM International building classification
The most sustainable office building in Poland and the EU, and the second worldwide, is now in Krakow, the City Hall informed on its website last week. This follows an announcement from earlier in March, that the office building of AFI EUROPE received the prestigious BREEAM certificate during the investment implementation and commissioning phase, with a remarkable score of 98.87%. This is the highest ever recorded in Poland and second only to the famous London headquarters of Bloomberg.
The certification was carried out by the independent company Sweco Polska, which specializes in services for sustainable construction (including BREEAM ecological certificates). The certificate is a multi-criteria evaluation system geared towards sustainable construction.
Each building subject to evaluation must meet high standards in 10 categories: Management, Health and Wellbeing, Energy, Transport, Water, Materials, Waste, Ecology (biodiversity), Prevention of environmental pollution and Innovation. To achieve this success, the Iliard Architecture & Interior Design, responsible for the architectural design of the building, implemented solutions that are both environmentally and user-friendly.
This means that the building (see gallery above), put to use in 2019, boasts among others:
BRE Group, the issuer of BREEAM certificates, is a few days away from announcing their official leaders in sustainable building design and management in the 2021 BREEAM online Awards, 23-25 March. An award that the same building in Krakow won back in 2018 in the Central and Eastern Europe category.
