7R Park Wrocław West II, the first warehouse in the 7R Green Saver line, achieved a score of 95.6% in the BREEAM International New Construction Version 6 certification. This is the highest rating awarded to an industrial building in continental Europe. This result confirms the innovation of the warehouse’s sustainable solutions, which were designed to maximize benefits for tenants and investors.

7R, a developer of high-quality warehouses, has thus strengthened its position as a leader in sustainable construction. BREEAM is one of the world’s leading green building certification systems, and an “Outstanding” rating is its highest level, attesting to exemplary performance in sustainability. “Our warehouse achieved the highest score in this category in continental Europe. This underscores 7R’s commitment to building environmentally friendly, future-oriented facilities that set new standards in the industry. The 7R Green Saver line attracts international tenants and investors who are increasingly seeking modern facilities of this type,” adds Michał Białas, Co-CEO of 7R.

This success was made possible by 7R’s long-term sustainability strategy and confirms the effectiveness of the 7R Green Saver warehouse concept, which was developed as a result. “Thanks to the technical solutions implemented, buildings in this line achieve a minimum 50% reduction in operational CO2 emissions and a 50% reduction in primary energy demand compared to buildings constructed in accordance with Polish technical standards. This generates significant savings in operating costs for the tenant and increases the value of the investment. The BREEAM Outstanding certificate is the culmination of our efforts,” explains Piotr Miodek, Head of Construction & Sustainability at 7R.

The 7R Green Saver facility has distinguished itself in the field of sustainable construction, scoring 100% in the BREEAM categories for energy efficiency and water management. – This was achieved, among other things, through the use of high-efficiency air-source heat pumps, a photovoltaic system that will work in conjunction with its own energy storage facility, and advanced lighting controls, including an astronomical clock. Water-saving solutions include a recirculating fire pump cooling system, graywater recovery, as well as simple measures such as metering irrigation points and installing aerators on faucets,” said Maciej Runkiewicz, CEO of Kajima Poland, the general contractor for the industrial park.

The BREEAM certification process for 7R Park Wrocław West II was conducted by JWA, an accredited BREEAM assessor.
