The Piraeus Tower, the second tallest building in Greece, has achieved the highest Platinum certification under the international sustainability standard LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) and is the country’s first high-rise building in Greece. Additionally, it is set to be certified as a WELL building, a certification focused on the health and well-being of its users.

Improving instead of meeting
In our effort to fight climate change, special emphasis is given to the reduction of both the embodied and the operational carbon footprint. Driven by the inherent desire to substantially reduce Piraeus Tower’s environmental footprint and to improve people’s lives, we are adopting a holistic sustainable approach through “greenovation” and state of the art health & well-being practices. Every m2 reflects our commitment towards environmental protection, improving the health and wellness of people and supporting economic growth. Sustainability is about meeting our own needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own. For us, meeting is not enough; we prefer improving the lives of current and future generations.

Sustainable design
Piraeus Tower consists of a structure that is visually intriguing and incorporates strategies in order to drastically reduce the energy consumption of the building. The design mediates the scale of the city and that of the tower, engaging the prospect of offering amazing exterior spaces and sharing breathtaking views. The façade’s overhang system is a result of an ambitious sustainability and energy conservation strategy. Upon a meticulous solar study, the vertical and horizontal louvers of the Tower are calibrated in order to reduce solar gain on the façade by 45%, resulting in a substantial reduction of the overall energy demand of the building.

About LEED & WELL
Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) is the most widely known green building rating system used worldwide. Piraeus Tower will be the first high – rise building in Greece aiming at the highest level, Platinum. In addition, as quick responders both to the pandemic crisis and at the same time by being aware of the major importance for increased peoples’ health and well-being, the project is pursuing WELL certification which is the leading tool for advancing health and well-being in buildings globally.
