Rondo1 certified with LEED Platinum

Rondo 1, one of the most well-known office buildings in Warsaw, has been awarded LEED Platinum certification under the LEED Building Operations and Maintenance rating system, an improvement on the result it achieved five years ago, when it attained LEED Gold certification. The U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED, or Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design certifies more than 170,000 gross square meters of space every day in more than 160 countries and territories. Rondo 1 is the first building in Poland to receive LEED Platinum certification under the LEED Building Operations and Maintenance rating system. The certification process for Rondo 1 was conducted by experts from JLL, the advisory firm. “Compared to its previous certification, the building’s energy efficiency has increased by 6 percent. Rondo 1 is one of the most efficient buildings according to the Energy Star standard. All of the energy used by the building holds renewable energy certificates, and over 61 percent of waste in Rondo 1 is re-processed. Furthermore, Rondo 1 consumes over 30 percent less potable water compared to standard buildings," added Regina Gul, Senior Project Manager, LEED AP, BREEAM Assessor, BREEAM In-Use Auditor at JLL.
