BREEAM/LEED/sustainability certification
Using green building practices and acquiring green certificates can only result in energy and cost savings. Other advantages include better indoor air quality and plenty of daylight. Skanska’s studies have shown that workers in certified buildings have increased labour productivity and decreased job retention. These benefits contribute directly to a company’s profits. That is why Nowa Fabryczna is designed to maximize energy efficiency and make the most of renewable, sustainable resources. Apart from being LEED Gold certified, the building has also applied for an “Building without Barriers” certificate.
