The Praga Studios complex in Karlín has become the second greenest office building in Europe. Skanska has broken its own record in the region
Prague can now boast of housing one of the two highest rated office buildings in terms of sustainability in Europe, according to the available data. The new Praga Studios building in Pernerova street, Karlín, obtained the LEED Platinum certification for Core & Shell with 97 points. The building has earned a shared third place worldwide and is on the first place in the Central and East European Region. It has replaced the Visionary office building in Holešovice. Both projects were carried out by the Scandinavian company, Skanska, which has long been a leader in sustainable construction and development.
The Praga Studios project had attracted attention even before its completion, when the developer announced during the construction stage that the nearly 12,000 square metres of commercial space had already achieved full occupancy. The building was subsequently bought by CBRE Global Investors for 55 million EUR. This transaction is considered an unprecedented success in Karlín and has become a benchmark for similar projects, not only in this location, but throughout Prague.
Praga Studios uses only green energy from renewable sources for its operation. The used innovative technical solutions will also bring additional energy savings of more than 40 %. Efficient LED lighting, occupancy and motion sensors or an ingenious heating, cooling and air conditioning system, help to minimise the building’s consumption. The high proportion of glassed areas guarantees maximum access to daylight, which has been shown to contribute to greater psychological well-being of the building’s occupants.
