A lot of hard work has been done during the past year on making the Atlas ArenA Amsterdam complex sustainable and future-proof, where achieving BREEAM In-use certification has been high on the list of priorities. A small selection of the measures that have been taken to achieve certification:
- Installation of 27 additional charging points and 2 superchargers for electric cars;
- Ecological survey by Econsultancy, used as the basis to introduce more flora and fauna with flowering plants, bee hotels and bird boxes, for example;
- All buildings given A/A+ energy labels;
- All potential natural disasters analysed, including flood risks;
- Cameras installed on the water meters. These cameras record the meter readings and leaks;
- Protectors and corner profiles affixed to the columns in the car park;
- Perlators attached to all taps;
- Waste flows analysed.
Thanks to all these efforts, Vastint has now been awarded the BREEAM In-use certificates for the Atlas complex and Courtyard by Marriott, and we are very proud of that!
