BREEAM first in Malta

BSRIA, BREEAM

BSRIA has awarded the first-ever BREEAM certificate for a building in Malta — winning a ‘BREEAM country first award’. The certification work for the Sky Parks Business Centre at Malta International Airport was carried out by Irena Saniuk, one of BSRIA’s team of accredited assessors. BSRIA was appointed by Scicluna & Associates, which was responsible for the design of the MEP services.

Irena Saniuk said, ‘This is a good day for Malta, showing a commitment to improve the sustainable performance of buildings. I hope the recognition of this award will help to inspire more assessments in Malta and other countries.’
