GREENFIELD Plaza shopping center receives BREEAM Excellent certification

The GREENFIELD Plaza shopping center, developed by IMPACT Developer & Contractor in the GREENFIELD Baneasa neighborhood, obtained the BREEAM Excellent certification following the evaluation carried out by BuildGreen. Thus, the building covering retail and wellness functions meets the quality and sustainability standards required by this type of certification from the design phase in the categories management, health and well-being, energy, transport, water, materials used, waste, land use and ecology, pollution, innovation.

In the construction of the shopping center, developer IMPACT and general contractor RCTI used responsible practices, sustainable materials, as well as sustainable and intelligent systems and equipment, with the role of minimizing environmental impact, protecting the health and well-being of tenants and visitors, and ensuring thermal and visual comfort.

GREENFIELD Plaza has a high energy performance, due to the use of renewable energy, which translates into reduced pollution, protection of natural resources and reduced maintenance costs. The roof of the wellness club is equipped with solar panels, which cover about 70% of the energy needed to heat domestic water and swimming pools, while 25% of the electricity needed for the commercial gallery is provided by photovoltaic panels.

"Obtaining BREEAM Excellent certification for GREENFIELD Plaza proves our commitment to sustainability. As part of this, in 2021, with the establishment of the ESG department, we assumed that at least 80% of newly delivered projects have BREEAM certification. We started with Luxuria Residence, the first residential complex in Romania to obtain BREEAM Excellent certification, we continued with GREENFIELD Plaza, and next year will follow the apartment buildings in the fourth phase of development of the GREENFIELD Baneasa neighborhood. Our goal is to have a positive impact on both the environment and society by developing green buildings.", stated Constantin Sebesanu, CEO IMPACT Developer & Contractor.
