BREEAM is the most regarded international certification for the assessment of sustainability performance of infrastructure projects, individual buildings and communities. Excellent BREEAM level means a significant improvement of the well-being of the inhabitants, while contributing to the protection of natural resources. The efficiency of buildings means sustainability, ecological solutions, quality of construction, efficiency of consumption and determines a high reduction of operating & utilities costs.
With Luxuria Residence as reference, we planned next developments with the BREEAM Excellent certification as target:
The certificates obtained guarantee a wide international acceptance and an openness to the international markets demonstrating at the same time the ability of our company to provide highest quality standard products, to understand the impact that the activity carried out has on the environment and to ensure the health and the safety of its employees.

Geothermal energy is a clean source of energy which comes from the subsurface of the Earth, and it is used to the heating and cooling of homes. It is accessible 24 hours a day, making it one of the most reliable energy sources, having also an extremely low carbon footprint.
Benefiting from the unique characteristics of North Bucharest (high temperature at relative shallow depths) one of the main features of the system is the use of geothermal energy using both deep drilling and regular geothermal pumps. This system will be used for our new apartment blocks in Greenfield Baneasa. To bring water to the needed temperature each block of flats will have a smaller condensing boiler.
Geothermal heat pumps extract heat from underground in winter, providing it to homes. Deep geothermal rigs are bringing water at 40-60° Celsius that can be very efficiently used by the community for heating, however, it can be used as electricity as well through cogeneration power plants.
The sun light in a day is enough to ensure the energy consumption of the whole planet. Having that in mind, and the goal for sustainability at our hearts, we are driven to use solar energy to power our communities in an environmentally free way, which reduces the carbon footprint.
Photovoltaic panels capture sun light and transform it to electricity. We use photovoltaic panels mounted on terraces that will ensure the energy consumption for common areas and consumption of pumps.
Photovoltaic systems are going to be used for all our next phases of developments: Greenfield Baneasa Bucharest, Greenfield Copou Iasi, Boreal Plus Constanta, and their biggest advantage for our communities will be the low consumption and cost resulting from the implementation of those systems.
We indulge our communities to use electrical vehicles, therefore we want to implement as many EV charging stations as possible, both in our residential and commercial projects, supporting the overall development of electrical stations infrastructure in Romania. We know the ideal number of stations would be 1 for every 10 electrical cars, so we are investing right now, for the future of the well-being of our clients.
Through the collaboration with MOON Power, Impact offers its clients a simple way to charge their vehicle comfortably in the commercial areas, or directly at home. MOON offers accessible fast-charging stations, to ease the entrance of people in the electrical vehicles’ universe.
Driven by the biggest challenge of the 21st century, the CLIMATE CHANGE, powered by strategical partnerships with leaders in the green energy projects, like Veolia, we strive to bring a new standard of construction efficiency in large scale real estate projects in Romania.
Built using standardized, efficient construction solutions allowing cost efficiency while achieving high energy performance. Exceptional air quality provided by 900 ha of forest completed by wide green spaces within the development.
Modern and exclusive, LUXURIA RESIDENCE offers a select lifestyle and from the beginning designed to fit into the A energy class and in the category of "buildings".
Key development areas:
Large scale use of renewable energy: solar and geothermal, high energy efficiency buildings & systems, green roofs & green facades, efficient & sustainable water management, waste management, low-emissions transportation solutions, smart home & smart city solutions.
In the following years, we focus on implementing our successful housing concept, Greenfield and Luxuria, both in different areas of Bucharest and in the big cities throughout the country. Aria Verdi, Greenfield West and Greenfield Copou (Iași) are projected and built on solid sustainability principles in order to fulfill all the criteria of BREEAM Excellent certification.
Impact mission, providing well-built dwelling to the residents, is complemented by social responsibility initiatives. Developing large neighborhoods next to the forest, to the parks or even in the middle of the city, attracts the need to educate the residents to live in harmony with nature and in accordance to the laws of it, respecting and protecting the animals in the area and taking care of the forest and the environment.
Because it is extremely important for us to educate the kids with love and respect for the environment, giving them worthy models to follow, we actively involve into actions protecting the environment, education and community engagement.
Over 15 mil. EUR total value of donations and investments in public interest objectives.
We act in two directions, both physically, by planting trees, but also morally, by educating the public to follow the worthy models, with respect to significant aspects of existence: a healthy lifestyle, the need to preserve the physical condition, the benefits of parent-child activities, outdoor movement, the importance of the quality of the air we breathe and solutions to improve it.
Our biggest project, Greenfield Residence, is embraced by Băneasa Forest. And if the forest protects us and takes care of us, in return, we have the moral duty to protect it and pass it on to future generations at least as we received it. Thus, we are actively involved in the maintenance and ecological actions that take place in the Băneasa Forest area.
In October 2019, IMPACT launched a manifesto event: Clean and Run, the largest Running and Cleaning initiative in Baneasa Forest, which gives participants the opportunity to practice nature sports and, at the same time, be responsible for the environment through a civic action, collecting garbage from nature. Clean and Run means movement and care for the environment, empowerment and civic spirit. For more details, access the website:
We want plogging to become a popular concept in Romania, practiced as often as possible, for added health and a clean, normal nature.
IMPACT supports and encourages the initiative of the residents of Greenfield, who started in 2017 "Great Cleaning - Băneasa Forest - Greenfield", an event that takes place every year, with the urge "help us make the forest as it should be --> CLEAN! ".
WITHOUT TRADITIONS WE HAVE NO FUTURE!
