Cluj County Council announced that its headquarters will be the first green building in Romania

Cluj County Council announces that its headquarters will become the first green public building in Romania and that, thus, the building’s energy consumption will be extremely low, close to zero.

The institution’s future modernized headquarters will comply with BREEAM (Building Research Establishment’s Environmental Assessment Method) standards for green buildings.

“Following the expansion and modernization works, the Cluj County Council headquarters will become the first certified green public building in Romania, with extremely low, close to zero energy consumption. By implementing this project, we are achieving two important objectives: on the one hand, we will benefit from an expanded, environmentally friendly headquarters, and on the other hand, we will bring under the same roof, in a single building, all the departments within the County Council, which currently operate in other spaces in the municipality. This aspect will contribute to the efficiency of the work of employees in all these structures, facilitating even better communication and collaboration,” said the president of the Cluj County Council, Alin Tișe.

The total developed area of the future headquarters of the Cluj County Council will almost double, namely it will increase from 3,552 sqm to about 6,700 sqm, with a ground footprint of about 960 sqm. The total value of the investment is 90,512,725.98 lei, with financing to be provided both from the County Council budget and from other sources. The duration of the works will be 18 months, a term that runs from the date of issuing the order to start the works.
