Renault Bucharest Connected
Renault Bucharest Connected is the new home of the international car manufacturer, Groupe Renault Romania. The eight-story headquarters building includes ample office space, a showroom for Renault automobiles, an amphitheater, restaurant, medical office and gym.
The building features two large atriums that allow natural light into the office and a façade with high-performance thermal glass to minimize heat loss in the winter. These design features, combined with an energy-efficient boiler and energy-saving lighting, contribute to the building’s efficiency. Water-efficient plumbing fixtures and a rainwater harvesting system reduce the building’s water use.
Globalworth, the investor of the project, is a leading real estate company in Central and Eastern Europe that acquires, develops and manages commercial assets. They’re dedicated to building a more environmentally-friendly real estate portfolio with over 70 percent of properties certified green. Renault Bucharest Connected is a part of their growing portfolio of offices that have been certified green.
Renault Bucharest Connected has received final EDGE certification from thinkstep-SGS.
