Metropole Head Office
Taiwan's first project certified both LEED v4 ID+C Platinum and WELL Gold, and the sixth LEED v4 ID+C Platinum project in the world.
An office that practices what it sells
Since its founding, Metropole has focused on energy and environmental products and systems. For its new head office, Metropole invited GreenJump as consultant from the start of design and construction, committing to implement every requirement of LEED v4.
The office achieved LEED v4 ID+C Platinum, the first in Taiwan and the sixth in the world, and in September 2018 it also earned WELL v1 Gold, which IWBI noted as the first WELL Gold certified interior space in Taiwan. That makes it Taiwan's first project with both LEED v4 ID+C Platinum and WELL Gold: a workplace that is efficient for the planet and healthy for the people inside it.
What went into the space
- Customized chiller with variable-frequency drive, chilled beams and an enthalpy-wheel air handler
- LED lighting with a DALI smart lighting system that adjusts to real-time needs, plus automated blinds that reduce solar load
- Environmentally friendly refrigerants throughout
- Construction waste sorted into six streams (wood, metal, plastic, paper, concrete and non-recyclables), reaching an 87% recycling rate
- Plug-in power distribution boxes that can be reused and reconfigured as the interior changes
- Inorganic materials and methods throughout, and FSC-certified solid wood sourced in Taiwan
