In the heart of Munich's old town, Bayerische Hausbau REAL ESTATE has developed a six-storey office building with 10,200 m² of office space - the PRANNER. Having already received two Gold Green Building Certificates, the iconic new building in the Kreuzviertel district was also confirmed by the independent DGNB audit to meet the requirements of the EU Taxonomy. 

For Alpha IC, this was the first ESG verification for a new building after numerous consulting mandates for existing buildings. Thomas Heiß, our project manager in this process, had already successfully accompanied PRANNER to LEED® Gold certification. He emphasizes that ESG verification in new construction goes far beyond the focus on building operation in the context of existing building certification: “The taxonomy requirements for a sustainable new building already require significant decisions to be made at the property planning and construction stage and are not easy to meet in some cases.” 

As part of its consistent transformation process, Marcel Wnendt, CEO of Bayerische Hausbau Real Estate, believes it is absolutely logical to have ensured the ESG compliance of the PRANNER project following the LEE® certifications Core&Shell and Commercial Interiors: “Our sustainability strategy covers the areas of environmental and climate protection, social issues and sustainable corporate governance.Every ESG verification of one of our properties confirms the effectiveness of our measures. We are delighted to have once again worked successfully with the ambitious green building consultants at Alpha IC on PRANNER.” 

The following list shows the most striking qualities of the PRANNER project in terms of compliance with the EU taxonomy: 

  • The primary energy demand of the building is more than 10 % below the threshold value specified in the requirements for nearly zero-energy buildings in accordance with national measures (GEG / Building Energy Act).
  • The thermal integrity of the building envelope was verified by means of a blower door test and a thermographic measurement. 
  • The life cycle global warming potential (GWP) of the constructed building was calculated for each phase of the life cycle. 
  • A climate risk analysis and vulnerability assessment was carried out. The building already integrated adaptation solutions during planning and implementation in order to adapt to changing or future climate conditions and their possible consequences, thereby reducing vulnerability. 
  • Water efficiency: Low flow and flush volumes at sanitary fittings. 
  • More than 70% by mass of the non-hazardous construction and demolition waste generated on site was prepared for reuse, recycling or other material recovery, including backfilling operations where waste is used as a substitute for other materials, in accordance with the waste hierarchy.
