High-tech buildings, complying with all modern standards in terms of ecology, architecture and energy efficiency.In 2011 the exclusive for Bulgaria Office and Retail Complex Sopharma Business Towers made its grand opening.
The Bulgarian Green Building Council was in charge of the certification process of this unique building with extremely efficient energy performance. The project was awarded with DGNB Gold certificate for sustainable and green building, the complex consists of two class A office buildings, a retail center with a dining area, accommodating also a conference and event centre, and two levels of underground parking.
BUILDING MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
High-tech class A office buildings use the energy of the sun, wind, natural soil temperature and groundwater.
The latest solutions in this respect are related to heat-generating facades, window blinds that accumulate heat and retain it within the building, as well as standard solar panels that cool or heat the building. These technologies and the building automation allow for up to a 50 % reduction of energy usage in each building.
Decentralized four-pipe ventilation and air conditioning with fresh air supply through the facade, which reduces the risk of air pollution.
BMS centralized sun protection management for maximum effect.
Control over the management and reporting of all installations.
GREEN ROOF
The green roof acts as a filter. Lowers the temperature in the summer and enhances the thermal insulation properties in the winter. This reduces the energy costs of the building, and hence the carbon dioxide emissions.
The dense roof surfaces absorb solar energy and emit it into the atmosphere.
The green roof retains rainwater in the plant and drainage layer, which subsequently evaporates. This reduces the amount of polluted rainwater. They increase biodiversity in urban environment, help bind dust particles in the air and act as a sound barrier.
The concept of the Office and Retail Complex is providing businesses with a space of maximum comfort and elegant design whilst simultaneously offering an energy efficient solution.
Today, along with the years of experience in the effective management of high-tech "smart buildings", we are proud with our successful and rewarding long-standing partnerships.
