The Circle<\/a> is expected to receive LEED Platinum certification<\/a> in the spring of next year, HRS<\/a> informs in an interview<\/a> on the portal of the real estate<\/span> company from Frauenfeld. HRS realized the area at Zurich Airport<\/a> as a general contractor in collaboration with Amstein + Walthert<\/a> , the main building technology planner responsible. For the highest standard of the green building classification developed by the US Green Building Council<\/a> , a project must achieve 80 or more points.<\/p>\n

The LEED classification tries to “map all aspects of sustainable building”, explains Christian Appert from Amstein + Walthert in an interview. According to the CEO of the engineering service provider based in Zurich, The Circle was able to score points in a number of categories. As examples, Appert cites, among other things, drinking water savings through rainwater tanks, a combination of photovoltaics and greenery on the roofs as well as generous infrastructure for bicycles. The Circle has shown that “even large projects can be very sustainable,” says Appert.<\/p>\n

With the certification, The Circle will be “the largest LEED Platinum project in Europe and one of the ten to twenty largest in the world,” explains Rebecca Kull in an interview. According to the COO of HRS, this is “a superlative with great charisma” for Switzerland. Talking about sustainability is easy, says Kull. The decisive factor, however, is “lived sustainability”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
