DGNB platinum certificate for four buildings at VGP Park München

VGP NV has been awarded the German Sustainable Building Council (DGNB) Platinum certificate for four buildings at VGP Park München. The DGNB awards this highest level of certification to production halls B, C, E and office building F. In addition, these four buildings were awarded the EU Taxonomy certificate, which emphasises the sustainability of the projects.

The internationally recognised DGNB Platinum award recognises the ambitious sustainability measures implemented in the build-to-suit projects for KraussMaffei at VGP Park München. To receive the award, projects must fulfil an overall degree of fulfilment of at least 80 percent in all five result-relevant subject areas.

A total of five platinum awards for VGP

To date, only a few commercial properties in Germany have received the DGNB Platinum award. Following the first platinum award for VGP Park Laatzen Hall A, VGP has now achieved a total of five platinum awards from the DGNB. Previously, 23 of the company’s commercial construction projects in Germany received DGNB Gold certificates.

The four buildings of VGP Park München scored more than 87 per cent in the criteria of ecological and economic quality and more than 72 per cent in the socio-cultural and functional qualities. In addition, more than 85 per cent and 45 per cent were achieved in the criteria of process and location quality.

High demands on sustainability

The VGP Park München in Parsdorf, where Isar Aerospace’s new company headquarters will be built, is a role model in terms of sustainability. One of the largest rooftop photovoltaic systems in Europe with a total output of 15.35 MWp will ensure a sustainable energy supply for the buildings. The park has an energy-efficient hall heating system with LED lighting and groundwater heat pumps. Electric charging stations are available on the site for electric cars and bicycles.

Green façades and roofs promote biodiversity. Furthermore, ecological compensation areas of 24 hectares of fields, dry grassland, flower strips and ponds were created next to the park.

The use of DGNB-compliant materials ensures good indoor air quality for employees. Special structural sound-absorbing measures ensure good acoustics in the office and meeting rooms. Employees also benefit from an on-site canteen. A terrace and a roof terrace allow for relaxed breaks and nature trails with benches invite employees to take a walk.

VGP Park Munich has a total of 320,000 square metres of rentable space. In addition to KraussMaffei, its tenants include BMW and Isar Aerospace. Once fully operational, the three tenants together will provide over 3,000 jobs in future-oriented production facilities. The VGP Park is located to the north of the Parsdorf motorway junction on the A94, close to the city centre and only 30 minutes by car from Munich Airport.
