The 208-meter Warsaw Trade Tower (WTT) is an icon of the city’s skyline and a unique office building in Poland that has earned an “Outstanding” score of 90.7% under the BREEAM In-Use v6 certification. At the time of certification in 2024, this was the third-highest score for an office building in the world, placing WTT among the most sustainable and resilient structures globally. This proves that smart building management can make a real difference.
WTT is owned and managed by Globalworth, a leading real estate company in Central and Eastern Europe that is constantly seeking ways to run the building more efficiently. In an era of increasing sustainability requirements and rising energy costs, data analytics has become key to optimizing energy use and costs while maintaining a premium user experience. This quest led to a collaboration with KONE to optimize the energy consumption of the building’s heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems through real-time building occupancy analysis.
The key insights used were derived from data hidden in plain sight – within the building’s digitally connected elevators.
