Three developments by Futureal Group have achieved BREEAM Outstanding ratings under the In-Use Commercial scheme, placing them among the highest-rated operational buildings in Hungary.
The projects include Etele Plaza, all phases of the Budapest ONE office complex, and the Corvin Innovation Campus. The latest certification for Corvin Innovation Campus marks the third project by the developer to reach this level based on operational performance.
BREEAM assesses buildings on criteria including energy use, accessibility and operational management. In the In-Use category, the evaluation focuses on how buildings perform in day-to-day operation rather than at the design stage.
Corvin Innovation Campus is located in Budapest’s Józsefváros district, as part of the Corvin Promenade area. The first phase of the office scheme provides around 16,650 sqm of space and has an A+ energy rating. The building is situated close to a metro station, supporting access by public transport.
The project includes building management systems designed to optimise energy use, as well as heating and cooling solutions aimed at reducing emissions. Electric vehicle charging points are installed in part of the parking area, and a rooftop photovoltaic system contributes to the building’s energy demand.
Indoor environmental systems include air filtration and ventilation technologies, while the design incorporates outdoor and shared spaces. The building also emphasises accessibility and the use of natural daylight.
“The latest BREEAM In-Use Outstanding certification clearly validates the consistent sustainability approach underpinning Futureal’s developments. Following Etele Plaza and Budapest ONE in Újbuda, this project completes a kind of ‘hat-trick’, with three of our landmark buildings achieving the highest sustainability rating based on actual operation,” said Gábor Radványi.
Corvin Innovation Campus has also received WELL Core Platinum certification, which focuses on occupant wellbeing, including air quality, light and comfort.
The nine-storey office building includes a public space at its entrance, the Irén Psota Memorial Park, integrated into the surrounding urban area.
