International building rating system LEED

Technopolis has committed to using the internationally-renowned LEED building rating system for developing and comparing the ecological efficiency of its buildings. 

LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) is an international building rating system for monitoring the ecological footprint of buildings. The system was created by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC).

 

The rating is used to guide us on new constructions  (LEED Core & Shell) and the management of existing buildings (LEED EB: Operations and Maintenance). LEED certificates are verified by a third party and include several measurements: Indoor air, energy efficiency, materials and waste, water consumption and innovations. 

Technopolis customers can proudly cite the sustainable maintenance of their premises when reporting on their own sustainability.

Energy saving agreement for premises and managing energy efficiency

In the property sector, the Ministry of Employment and the Economy, the Ministry of the Environment, the Energy Authority, and RAKLI have made an agreement on improving energy efficiency regarding rental and commercial properties.

Companies who join the Energy Efficiency Agreement commit themselves to improving their energy efficiency, in accordance with the actions and targets presented in their specific Action Plan. Companies will report their real estates’ energy consumption and saving targets during the agreement period: a saving of 7,5% by the end of 2025. Technopolis has joined the agreement and reports its real estates’ consumption and saving measures annually. 

In addition, Technopolis has a company energy audit document, that is in accordance with the new energy efficiency directive and supports the energy efficiency agreement for commercial premises and energy efficiency audits within the property portfolio.
