The modern Oxygen office building, which has been developed by Echo Investment in the centre of Szczecin, has obtained an ecological GreenBuilding certificate.

GreenBuilding is a programme of the European Commission aimed at raising the level of effective energy use in buildings. In order for a building to obtain a certificate it is necessary to fulfil one basic condition – its energy consumption must be at least 25 pct lower than the level which is stipulated by national norms in the country where a given project is developed. “GreenBuilidng certificates are a result of Echo Investment"s appropriate approach to design and construction of office buildings. It is at the same time a confirmation of measurable benefits which clients who rent office space in our buildings can count on. As an experienced developer we attach great importance to ecological and modern solutions which are applied in our projects,” says Wojciech Knawa, director of Echo Investment Property Management. Oxygen is another office building developed by Echo Investment to have received a confirmation of its eco-friendliness. In February 2011 there was a GreenBuilding certificate awarded to the Park Postępu office complex located in Warsaw"s Mokotów district. The same certificate was granted to the Astra Park office buildings in Kielce in December 2011. All new office projects of Echo Investment will have ecological certificates. While preparing for the application of BREEAM standards the company introduced a programme assuring a suitable conceptual preparation and established a team of specialists which consists of certified BREEAM assessors.
