There are two widely used certification systems in Hungary: the U.K.-based BREEAM and the U.S.-based LEED. If we look at developments currently under construction or those shortly set to launch, by the end of 2014, we expect the completion of four BREEAM certified buildings and two LEED-certified buildings, comprising a total 112,000 m2 of new green office space in the city. In addition to office buildings, green shopping centers have also started appearing around the country. The first green retail projects in Hungary were the Campona and Pólus Centre malls. Both secured the BREEAM In-Use “Good” certification, based on their environmentally friendly operations. The recently opened Szeged Árkád shopping centre achieved the gold certification of Germany’s DGNB, while the Hegyvidék Center, currently under construction in Budapest’s 12th district, achieved a BREEAM “Very good” pre-certification. Green certifications are also available for industrial properties and hotels, but office buildings and shopping centres are proving more popular. However, ProLogis Park Budapest-Sziget, an industrial property in the country, acquired a BREEAM In-Use certification. Both the UK and US systems have several sub-categories of certification. For new-builds, there is LEED New Construction, LEED Core & Shell and BREEAM Europe Commercial, for existing buildings, LEED for Existing Buildings Operation and Maintenance and BREEAM In-Use can be used in a retrofit or for improving the operations of an existing facility, and sustainable real estate development also allows for the certification of tenant office or commercial space within a building under the LEED for Commercial Interiors category.
