Synergy Tower will receive a LEED certificate: one of world’s leading and most renowned certification systems for green building leadership. LEED monitors and ensures that projects meet the most stringent environmental requirements in the field of construction.

The certification process follows the whole life cycle of the building: from design and construction, operation and maintenance, to modernization and reconstruction, and covers indicators in six categories: site selection, materials and resources, energy and atmosphere, water use efficiency, indoor environment quality and innovation design.

Synergy Tower is designed to be extraordinarily highly energy efficient. Its dynamic shape is designed according to the latest tendencies of a new generation “green” business building to leave a minimal footprint on the surrounding nature.

Equipped with photovoltaic system on its roof, the building can produce up to 20% of renewable energy. This is the very first tall building in Sofia that will have outdoor blinds. These are controlled automatically through sensors that evaluate positioning of the sun, amount of precipitation and other factors to lower the expense of energy and provide maximum comfort for its inhabitants.
