Goldkey’s PwC Tower attains green credentials

PwC Tower, a development by Goldkey Properties, has received EDGE Certification, an internationally recognised green building certification system operated by the International Finance Corporation (IFC).

EDGE Certification rewards developers who implement strategies to reduce energy and water use in their buildings and the ‘embodied energy’ in their building materials.     

A media release issued in Accra last Wednesday said “PwC Tower is one of the first ultra-modern commercial spaces in Ghana to receive EDGE certification and will be a benchmark in sustainability for upcoming developments.”  

EDGE certification is a testament to a developer’s commitment to sustainability.   

Real estate
“Given our position as leaders in the Ghanaian real estate market, not going green with the PwC Tower was never an option. Producing efficient green buildings is an integral part of our strategy,” the Managing Director of Goldkey Properties, Ms Fuseina Abu, said.   

PwC Tower is regarded as one of the most dynamic working environments in Ghana.

It is a modern commercial facility, boasting high-end interior finishes, modern architectural design and state-of-the-art mechanical systems and technology.

It is also rated for offering the high quality Grade A office space.

Features
Among the sustainable features implemented in the building are the use of an advanced system of waste management which reduces consumption of mains water; a modern, integrated energy-saving HVAC system which efficiently filters air, replenishes oxygen and controls temperature in every space and a specialised waffle slab flooring system which is designed to produce greater strength while using a smaller volume of concrete and steel.  

Goldkey Properties seeks to outpace conventional buildings by being environmentally and socially responsible and to improve the quality of life of its occupants.
