The Smart Building Collective (SBC), an organisation that measures buildings from the perspective of what they can do for users and their businesses, has awarded Nivy Tower their Gold Smart Building Certification, proving once again that the tallest operating office building in Slovakia was built to promote wellbeing, sustainability, performance, innovation, health and safety. On top of that, the certification also recognises buildings’ smart and technical infrastructures. With this certification, the international workspace provider HB Reavis has joined an exclusive club, as Nivy Tower is the first building in CEE to receive a certification at such a high level.
Building smart workspaces where technology not only fulfills the logistical needs and tech demands of busy working days but also serves as a backbone infrastructure for building and monitoring an environment where people feel good and therefore are more productive has been a core part of HB Reavis’ strategy for years. Receiving certifications from respected organisations in the industry such as this one just goes to show that these ongoing efforts are paying off.
Six areas where Nivy Tower excels
HB Reavis always strives to achieve above benchmark results, and they were successful in two out of six categories the certification evaluates: safety and security. The international workspace provider also showed the SBC they follow the highest standards in the remaining assessed areas, which are building usage, building performance, the building environment, user experience & collaboration, and connectivity & integrative design.
