The programme is to cover an estimated 16,000 energy-efficient buildings that could be built over the period 2013–2018. The beneficiaries of the programme are to include people that build detached houses for themselves as well as purchasers of detached houses and apartments in small tenements from developers. According to Emmerson, research by the European Commission shows that only 34 pct of Poles have made any investment to reduce energy consumption by insulating the walls and roofs of the buildings they live in.

Its performance to date, combined with the continued evolution of the surrounding district, reinforces its position as a trophy office asset.
