POLAND Excellent news for Panattoni in Świebodzin

Green projects
A BTS development that has recently been completed by Panattoni in Świebodzin with an area of 200,000 sqm has been awarded a BREEAM New Construction ‘Excellent’ certificate.

The four-storey building in Świebodzin in western Poland, which has just been handed over to Amazon, achieved ratings of ‘outstanding’ in three categories. Among other measures, the developer has carried out a 60-year life-cycle cost (LCC) analysis and installed 3,873 solar panels as well as an intelligent building management system (BMS) and water-saving systems that cut usage by almost 55 pct.

The development in Świebodzin is another project undertaken by Panattoni for a giant of e-commerce and combines a huge area with sustainable buildings. Last year we were awarded a BREEAM certificate with a rating of 'Very Good' for a building in Gliwice with an area of 210,000 sqm and today we are going one level higher. The continuous development of our sustainable building practices is the result of the hard work of many people in the Panattoni team as well as the general contractor and the assessors, who led the entire certification process for us. Our common understanding has allowed us to provide a building that is both green and perfectly optimised.
Emilia Dębowska, the sustainability manager of Panattoni

The building has four levels where 30 mln separate goods can be stored and is served by 3,000 transport robots. Around 13,000 sqm is taken up by offices and social space.
