Poland BREEAM Outstanding for Panattoni

ESG
Panattoni has been awarded another BREEAM certificate with a rating of Outstanding for Panattoni Park Poznań A2. The building B was constructed for H&M without the use of PCVs.

The 82,000 sqm centre is the developer’s third project in Poland and its eighth in Europe to be awarded the highest BREEAM rating. Panattoni has further centres with a combined area of 460,000 sqm that are already under assessment for a similarly high certification rating.

Panattoni Park Poznań A2 has joined our projects with the highest BREEAM certification rating of Outstanding. This is a confirmation of our commitment to building a future where sustainable construction and ecological innovation become the norm to the benefit of clients, investors and society at large.
Marek Dobrzycki, Managing Director at Panattoni

Building B in Panattoni Park Poznań A2 scored the maximum number of points for energy efficiency. It is equipped with a 700 kWp photovoltaic installation that significantly reduces the building’s dependence on conventional sources of energy, reduces its CO2 emissions and lowers operating costs. The building’s energy efficiency is further improved by an integrated HVAC system, energy saving LED lighting with a DALI control system, heat recovery and a BMS. As a result, use of primary energy has been reduced by over 27 pct in relation to national requirements.

A rainwater collection system was created for watering the plants and flushing the toilets. A system to prevent uncontrolled leakages was installed and electronic valves and motion detectors were installed in the bathrooms. Together with the installation of water meters and watertight sanitary fittings, this has reduced water consumption by 70 pct in comparison to the base model. The development’s impact on local water resources is further reduced by a drinking water station and the on-site biological treatment of wastewater.

The centre provides high quality of indoor air. The the large use of glazing in the office section maximises access to natural light, there are also many recreational and rest areas. These include a gym, an external terrace, a basketball court, a bowling lane and a canteen. Facilities for cyclists have been prepared including a shelter for bicycles, showers and changing rooms. A total of 22 parking spaces have been equipped with electric vehicle charging stations and a special bus service is provided for workers. Over 500 trees and 1,000 bushes were planted that are resilient to weather conditions and easy to maintain. In this way, the local ecosystem was enriched, and a valuable habitat was created for local fauna and flora.

We are making yet another meaningful stride on the road to European climate neutrality by 2050. This is all the more important with the European Commission’s latest target to have already reduced harmful emissions by 90 pct in comparison to 1990 by 2040.
Emilia Dębowska, the head of sustainability Europe at Panattoni

Prior to the certification of Panattoni Park Poznań A2, two other projects by the developer were awarded ratings of BREEAM Outstanding. The first was Panattoni Park Szczecin III (buildings A and B), which was also the first industrial real estate development in Poland to be awarded such a high ranking, and the second was Panattoni Park Konin. Panattoni is also the first developer to have included environmental assessment as part of its development standards and currently aims for a high rating of BREEAM Excellent.
