In order to achieve this, Microsoft as tenant has been involved in the sustainability concept from the beginning. A building certification to LEED Core & Shell in Platin has been achieved. Alpha performed the certification and has been consulting the client in terms of sustainability since the planning phase.

USGBC has evaluated the performance of Alpha IC as a consultant with LEED Proven Provider status for this project with "excellent". All the documents submitted for the certification were complete, well organized and consistent, demonstrating excellent overall understanding of credit requirements.


  • Early integration of the tenant into the sustainability concept
  • Assurance about the function of all building services
  • Clarity in the assessment of running costs
  •  Contractual definition of service quality
