Business Garden Bucharest in top 3 LEED certified office buildings worldwide

Vastint Romania received LEED Platinum certification for the three Business Garden Bucharest office buildings, reaching the third highest LEED score Worldwide for building A, for Core & Shell category, with 98 points and second place in Europe, followed closely by the other two buildings B & C. Business Garden Bucharest becomes the office project with the highest LEED score in CEE.

LEED, or Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, is the most widely used green building rating system in the world, available for virtually all building, community and home project types, providing a framework to create healthy, highly efficient and cost-saving green buildings. LEED certification is a globally recognized symbol of sustainability achievement.

Antoniu Panait, Managing Director, Vastint Romania: “Our main objective in Vastint was to deliver not only good looking projects, but also viable ones, that will ensure our tenants that we are a highly trustable partener. We are confident that all these efforts have driven our projects to such amazing results. Business Garden Bucharest and Timpuri Noi Square are now certified LEED PLATINUM, with the highest score in Romania.”

Vastint is aiming to reduce energy and water consumption as well as overall operational waste through its sustainable projects. Obtaining LEED Platinum certification with one of the highest scores Worldwide, shows recognition for the efforts that our team has made. We aim for the same high green certification standard for all our projects, including the next phase of Timpuri Noi Square and the ones that will come in the near future.”

Considering the current concerns regarding sustainability and environmental, it is very important to prove, with the help of a worldwide acknowledged certification, that a modern building is able to provide efficient, comfortable and sustainable office space that saves energy, water and resources, generates less waste and supports human health. This reduces operational cost and boosts employee productivity and retention.

Employees working in both Business Garden Bucharest and Timpuri Noi Square benefit from a high indoor environment quality with a silent, healthy air conditioning and ventilation system, thermal comfort control, energy saving electrical equipment, full LED lighting and water use reduction technology. Its location near multiple means of transportation provides easy access by subway or any other means of public transportation. Parking includes priority spaces and cyclist facilities that include both dedicated parking spaces, as well as showers and lockers.
