Atlantic Tower: Accra’s Green Office Space Building Receives EDGE Certificate of Excellence

Radwan Fattal Dakmak, Managing Director of Wahhab Estate Co Ltd and Meridian Group, talks about the recent re-certification of Atlantic Tower as a green office building. Located in Airport City in Accra, Atlantic Tower offers the best commercial space quality in terms of safety, material, technology and energy efficiency.
"A few weeks ago, we were awarded a certification from the IFC and EDGE, confirming the performance of Atlantic Tower as a green building. We were actually certified as a green building upon completion in December 2018, but it is normal for such bodies to reassess the viability and the performance of the property over the years. So, from time to time, they come back for an audit. An award is never a lifetime certification. You always need to keep up with the qualities that allowed you to get that award in the first place, and that is exactly what happened. A team from EDGE came to audit the building again a few months ago to verify whether we had lived to the expectation of such an award. This is a really important award and it has a lot of value for us as developers, because the EDGE certification is certified by very important bodies like the IFC and the World Bank. It is a prestigious award that we work hard to maintain, insuring that Atlantic Tower is still a green building and deservces getting that recognition", says Radwan Fattal Dakmak.
"The EDGE certification is a certificate of excellence in the sense that, to be able to qualify to become a green building, you have to demonstrate that you have a lot of savings in terms of energy and water. In our certification, we have 46% energy savings and 56% water savings, compared to conventional buildings. We have exceeded the threshold required to be certified simply because we use energy efficient air conditioning, and the glazing that we have is of very good quality, which helps reduce the amount of heat that enters the building. This makes Atlantic Tower an energy efficient building, and actually this is being demonstrated and verified by our tenants. They are extremely happy because compared to the previous properties they were occupying, they have been doing a lot of savings in terms of power, especially now that the prices of energy have gone up all over the world. Here in Ghana, for instance, we just got a 35% increment in power", he adds.
