SPCleantech organized on 26.06.2017 together with the Polish Green Building Council (PLGBC) workshop for architects and developers “Green buildings – fashion or necessity? Should you certify buildings?”. Workshop took place at the head quarters of SPCleantech, NordicHouse, ul. św. Anny 5 in Kraków.

Due to the growing popularity of multicriteria certification and the observed increase in the number of certificates granted in Poland, one can ask yourself whether it is a transitional fashion or a necessity resulting from market needs? We tried to answer these questions during subsequent workshop for architects and developers.

Program:

  • Presentation of South Poland Cleantech Cluster and introduction to the subject – Janusz Kahl, President of SPCleantech
  • “Poland’s leading multi-criterion certification in Central and Eastern Europe – 2017 report” – Alicja Kuczera, CEO, Polish Green Building Council (PLGBC)
  • “Introduction to LEED, BREEAM and other multicriterial certification systems” – Ewa Kosmala, Technical Manager in Knauf Insulation, member of PLGBC Board
