Warsaw’s Hala Koszyki hosted the premiere and presentation of the book “Sustainable Office Buildings” published by PWN, and created under the aegis of PLGBC Polish Green Building Council.
The book is the culmination of more than a year of work by more than a dozen authors – specialists and researchers from all over Poland. One of the chapters devoted to the issues of the so-called Integrated Design Process was written at Horizone Studio.
The publication was created in response to market needs – the area concerning the design of “green” office buildings and commercial buildings required systematization, the collection of information into a single compendium of knowledge. The book “Sustainable office buildings” presents the topic in a comprehensive and practical way. The various stages of the design of sustainable office buildings are discussed in detail, the solutions and tools existing on the Polish market, suitable for national legal and climatic conditions, are presented. Examples of model implementations in Poland are also included.
