Environmental certification for SkyParks Business Centre This assessment process conducted by BREEAM will lead to SkyParks becoming
Malta's first Grade A office park. Based
in the UK, BREEAM is the leading and most widely used environmental
assessment method for buildings. It sets the standard for best practice
in sustainable design and has become the de facto measure used to
describe a building's environmental performance.
SkyParks
Business Centre is investing in the highest level of
energy efficient
systems for air conditioning, air ventilation, heat recovery units and
vertical transportation, and plans to maximise energy conservation
whilst limiting wastages in lighting systems, water circulations and
sanitary ware. In doing this SkyParks intends to ensure an improved
internal environment with
high indoor quality.
For SkyParks Business Centre, a BREEAM certification would mean obtaining high scores in three leading measures:
Location Strengths - situated in proximity to public ameneties, transportation, medicare and leisure activity
Performance History - with a focus on quality and transparency
Building
Efficiencies -referring to structural and engineering finishes, access
and exit routing, parking, energy management and scalability for
expansion.
There are eight criteria upon which BREEAM assess the
building's environmental impacts. These vary from Management &
Waste, as well as Land use & Ecology, and Pollution.
SkyParks Business Centre will be developed as a centre of
excellence, not only in the services it will provide to its prospective tenants,
but also in the way it is conceived as a building. For this reason, SkyParks has developed an
environmental policy which it intends to promote as part of its work ethic. To view the policy, please click
