Czech Republic CTP holds the record

Green projects
The newly constructed warehouse, which has expanded CTPark Prague West, has been certified as the most environmentally friendly industrial building in the Czech Republic according to ‘BREEAM New Construction’ standards, with a record score of 92.1 pct. The building is home to Rhenus Logistics, which uses it as a cross-dock for its pan-European network for collection services and warehousing.

The sustainability of the warehouse lies in several clever features. Inside, there are zone lights that allow people working in the open space to illuminate just their workspace, rather than having to light up the whole office. The windows are also fitted with external blinds. There are also sensors for efficient heating and cooling, thus there is no unnecessary energy loss. Temperature control in the building, together with air circulation, is provided by the Free Cooling system, which helps to cool the building on warm days through special vents. The building is equipped with energy-efficient, low-water consumption devices, underground retention tanks for rainwater management, waterless urinals, and an Aquastop system that prevents water waste.

I believe that this unique approach will help to break down the myths that are often mentioned in connection with developers. Even the construction of industrial parks can be carried out with minimal environmental impact.
Jakub Kodr, Head of Business Development, CTP Czech Republic

Emphasis was also placed on the ecological construction of the warehouse. CTP worked with certified and recycled materials, which allowed, for example, most of the gravel to be replaced with concrete recyclate. Biological surveillance was also carried out on site during construction, to oversee the protection of local species. At the end of construction, geomonitoring boreholes were implemented, to measure the quality of the groundwater resources. For the local fauna, lizard, beetle and bird boxes, as well as a pond were created outside the warehouse. The site is complemented by a varied planting of local plant and tree species and outdoor seating.

The warehouse is situated near Prague, near the village of Chrášťany. It offers excellent connections to the D5 motorway (direction Pilsen and Germany), close access to the metro and Metropole Zličín, and is only 10 minutes to the airport.
