Panattoni certifies four developments under BREEAM
Industrial developer Panattoni has been awarded four BREEAM certificates with ratings of 'Very Good' for its latest buildings. The buildings to have undergone environmental assessment include BTS Amazon Łódź (44,800 sq m), Panattoni Park Gorzów Wielkopolski (hall A – 37,600 sq m), Panattoni Central European Logistics Hub (building 2 – 32,000 sq m) and Panattoni Warsaw Janki South (hall 1 – 46,000 sq m). As a result, the total area that Panattoni has had certified over the first three quarters of the year is already more than half a million square metres.
BTS Amazon Łódź was awarded the highest possible rating – 'Excellent' – in two categories (recycling and transport). During the construction waste was segregated and recycled materials were used with as much as 96 pct of the materials being recycled. On the site of the development, there is a bus station with 14 bays as well as supporting infrastructure. All the ecological solutions used resulted in CO2 emissions being reduced by as much as 52 pct.
The building constructed as part of the Panattoni Central European Logistics Hub has received the highest possible grade for minimising its use of energy. The building also scored highly for minimising its water usage. Use of potable water was lowered by as much as 69.82 pct in comparison to base values. This has been achieved by fitting toilets and urinals with water-saving flushing mechanisms, basin taps with minimised flow and showerheads with aerators.
At Panattoni Park Gorzów Wielkopolski water usage was also lowered by choosing suitable plantings that do not need watering and will be able to cope with future climate changes. After consulting with ecologists, twelve trees were planted of four different species, where the original flora had been removed, as well as 37 bushes of two separate species and three types of grass.
Panattoni Warsaw Janki South is not only characterised by its low energy usage, which has been assessed at 78 pct but its water usage has been reduced by 68 pct in comparison to a standard model. Altogether as much as 2 mln sq m has been certified while a further 2 mln sq m is to be assessed.
