Skanska Property Czech Republic has come a step closer to meeting its goal of erecting the greenest building in Prague with the announcement that the City Green Court (CGC) office project has become the first building in the city to be LEED Platinum pre-certified. Platinum is the highest level of the latest version of the US-based LEED certification system.

The eight-story, 16,400 sqm office building is under construction in Prague 4–Pankrác and was designed by New York-based architectural firm Richard Meier & Partners. The project was acquired in Spring 2010, and Skanska has made modifications to increase its environmental efficiency. In the LEED categories of sustainable sites, water efficiency, and indoor environmental quality CGC achieved the maximum number of points.

“We are proud to achieve the LEED platinum Pre-certification and to contribute to growing interest in green, modern and flexible office space that offers a stimulating work environment,” Britta Cesar, managing director of Skanska Property Czech Republic, said in a press release. “This adds value for both investors and tenants.”

The LEED Platinum pre-certification was granted based on features including a complex lighting system employing occupancy and daylight sensors, high-efficiency fixtures, green roof, high efficient irrigation system and impressive closed atrium utilizing natural ventilation. The building is scheduled for completion in the first quarter of 2012.

“City Green Court’s LEED Platinum pre-certification demonstrates tremendous green building leadership,” Rick Fedrizzi, president, CEO and founding chairman of the U.S. Green Building Council, said in a press release, adding that the project represents the degree to which the project represents the progress of the green building movement.
