Deniz Park – new Class "A" Business Center in Kazakhstan with
BREEAM NC Interim
"Very Good"
Deniz Park – Class A business centre in Kazakhstan, Almaty has been awarded a BREEAM NC certificate at the design stage with a deservedly high rating of «Very Good»!
The BREEAM AP assessor is Ksenia Agapova, founder of ESG Factor.
Developed with the newest technologies and design standards, Deniz Park will be the leading cutting-edge and sustainable office building in Kazakhstan.
The design team took into account all aspects of a sustainable building:
- Excellent transport accessibility and encouraging the use of environmentally friendly transport modes (electric cars chargers, bicycle lanes) are confirmed by the maximum 9 points in the «Transport» category.
- The highest score was also achieved in the «Health and Wellbeing» category - thermal and visual comfort modelling, air quality and acoustic measurements were carried out by qualified specialists and an inclusive environment was designed.
- There is a strong focus on energy efficiency - the energy modelling carried out showed a 21% improvement in the Building Emission Rate improvement over Notional Building.
- Сonstruction site is located on previously occupied land – on the territory previously occupied by the electric substation. This choice of site is encouraged by BREEAM, as construction on previously unused land involves disturbance to a previously untouched ecosystem and more damage to environment.
- Construction process also complies with BREEAM requirements for further final BREEAM certificate to be awarded: plants near the site are appropriately protected, workers' comfort and safety are ensured, materials are properly stored, separate waste collection is organised – please see the gallery below.
Certification to environmental standards is now developing rapidly in Kazakhstan, with 44 sites already certified and many more in the process.
Certification at the design stage is an additional indicator of the facility's quality and competitiveness. ESG Facror team is always ready to lead the BREEAM / LEED / WELL certification process for your project, as well as to provide a full range of accompanying services and studies!
A distinctive characteristic of our team is the holistic approach to evaluating the sustainability of buildings, and practice shows that it can bring tangible benefits in countries with developing environmental legislation, such as Kazakhstan.
BREEAM certification is really important for such office buildings, as Deniz Park, and we give several reasons below:
- Increase in the value of the building
- PR - a new look at the building
- Attracting tenants - international companies tend to choose certified buildings.
