TechnoPark Tower awarded LEED Platinum Green Construction Certificate

Vingroup

HANOI, VIETNAM - Media OutReach - 11 January 2022 - TechnoPark Tower in Vinhomes Ocean Park in the capital has been officially awarded the V4 LEED Platinum Green Building Certificate by the US Green Building Council. This is the world's most prestigious certification that honours green buildings for their capability to save energy and protect the environment. According to assessment results from the US Green Building Council, the LEED Platinum V4 version is the most difficult LEED rating level to date. To achieve this certificate, the TechnoPark Tower had to satisfy the nine most rigorous criteria from design to operation, including: integrated design, location and connectivity, sustainable location, efficient use of water, energy and atmosphere, materials and resources, indoor air quality, innovation initiatives and regional scores. TechnoPark Tower achieved a maximum score in many of the criteria. TechnoPark Tower has the ability to save up to 17.4 per cent of total annual energy consumption compared to the standard level, owing to energy-efficient solutions such as low-E insulating glass facades which helps to minimize heat transfer in both directions from outside to inside and from inside to outside; ventilation systems for the parking lot and the green roof, which helps to reduce the heat transfer coefficient; and solar panels on the lake's surface next to TechnoPark Tower to generate a renewable energy source for the tower. Inside the tower, nearly 3,000 Siemens motion sensors are installed to automatically turn the lights on in unoccupied areas, and there are on and off and dim lights in the parking basement to save energy. The entire exterior lighting system is controlled by a timer to reduce light pollution. More than 75% of the workspace enjoys natural daylight in the range of 300 lux to 3,000 lux, allowing tenants to reduce electricity consumption inside the building. In terms of water efficiency, TechnoPark Tower makes full use of rainwater collected at storage tanks to water plants, while using low-flow sanitary equipment to minimize water consumption at source. Greenery occupies 25 per cent of the total area of the building, with the highlight being the chill sky gardens where native drought-tolerant plants are grown to save water. In addition, to encourage tenants to use environmentally friendly transportation, there are multiple charging stations for electric vehicles in the tower's parking basement; there are also 660 bicycle parking slots as well as bathrooms for those who cycle to work. Moreover, right next to the tower's lobby is a smart electric VinBus pick-up point, promoting green transportation both inside and outside the complex. On top of these outstanding advantages, TechnoPark Tower is also equipped with many innovative smart features deployed by VinSmart. Before the LEED Platinum award in November 2021, TechnoPark Tower was honoured as the first building in Viet Nam to win Most Intelligent District award at the prestigious Digie Awards (USA). Having received prestigious world-class certifications and awards, TechnoPark Tower is gradually realizing its goal of becoming one of the Top 10 smartest buildings in the world. These are worthy achievements for a "heartfelt construction" marking the great progress of Viet Nam's stature on the global technology map. About LEED LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) is the most widely used green building rating system in the world, developed by the United States Green Building Council (USGBC). Available for virtually all building types, LEED provides a framework for healthy, highly efficient, and cost-saving green buildings. LEED certification is a globally recognized symbol of sustainability achievement and leadership. Established in 1995, after several revisions and additions, LEED V4 is now the most updated and also the most demanding version with nine extremely strict scoring criteria. To be awarded the LEED certificate, the building must achieve a minimum of 40 - 49 points (equivalent to a Certified rating); in order to receive the highest Platinum certification, the building must achieve 80 points or more.

Nofar Energy enters the British renewable energy market with the largest energy storage project to be constructed in the United Kingdom

Nofar Energy

In line with its strategic plan, Nofar Energy ‏(TASE-NOFR) continues its global expansion by moving into the UK renewable energy market. Today, the company reported that it had entered into an agreement with Interland, an investment group that is focused on real estate and energy storage investments in the UK and Europe. Under the agreement, Nofar and Interland will jointly own a dedicated platform for the origination, development, construction, financing, and operation of battery energy storage projects in the UK, that shall be held by the JV. Nofar will hold 75% of the joint venture, and Interland the remaining 25%. The company today reported the first project of this new partnership. The report sets out an agreement entered into for the Cellarhead project, UK's largest planned battery energy storage project. The project will connect to UK's power grid using a 300 to 349 Megawatt connection, with a storage capacity of c. 700 MW/h. The estimated construction costs of the project are £214 million, with estimated annual revenues of £42 million and estimated annual EBITDA of £35.5 million respectively. The company plans to start construction in the first half of 2022 and connect it to the grid in the second quarter of 2024. Concurrently, the partnership is developing or working to develop additional battery energy storage projects on a substantial scale. Nofar's entry into the UK is a significant step in its energy storage operations. Nofar constructed and connected Israel's first project to include battery energy storage, that was connected it to the national power grid, at Kibbutz Nir-Yitzhak. Nofar has also signed strategic procurement agreements with Tesla for the supply of battery energy storage with an aggregate capacity of 300 MW/h, and developed the first facility in Israel deploying Tesla's battery energy storage systems to the power grid (at Kibbutz Shoval). The new projects add to dozens of storage facilities to be run by Nofar's partnerships across Israel. Just last week, Nofar inked an agreement with Mivne Real Estate on developing, building and maintaining storage projects with an aggregate capacity of a 400 MW/h, the largest such undertaking in Israel. Nadav Tene, CEO of Nofar Energy, said, "Nofar Energy continues to realize its expansion strategy by now entering into the battery energy storage field in the UK, which is characterized by significant growth and high yields. Moreover, battery energy storage requires specific engineering, operating, financing, and commercial expertise. The new partnership with Interland to jointly provide the UK's largest storage project represents significant progress for Nofar. It allows Nofar to leverage its entrepreneurial capabilities an organizational structure that includes global engineering and operational capabilities and leadership in the energy storage field in Israel." Tene added, "We chose Interland as our partners in this venture because of their extensive proven record in initiating real estate projects in the UK, and their abilities with respect to battery energy storage. The partnership will generate significant growth, hundreds of megawatts, and a significant return on investment. I want to congratulate our new partners on this project and thank Nofar Energy's excellent team for their devotion and professional work over the past few months. I wish us all success in the new operations." Oleg Vorobeichik, Managing Director, Interland: “Interland continues its growth and diversification into new strategic business lines. Battery energy storage is the missing link that will allow stabilising the built-in volatility in renewable energy sources and driving the shift to renewable energies. We identified battery energy storage as a strategic growth segment that has the potential to generate significant long-term returns for our group and our partners at Nofar Energy. We are excited to partner with Nofar Energy. Our joint venture’s first investment in Cellarhead is the largest battery energy storage investment in the UK and one of the largest in the world. Interland’s and Nofar Energy’s track record in designing, planning, developing, executing and operating projects as well as our combined skill set would allow us to become a leading player in the UK Battery Energy Storage market and win significant market share in the coming years. Teams from Orrick, Herrington and Sutcliffe (UK) and M. Firon and Co. (Israel) provided legal support to Nofar Energy on the joint venture arrangements with Interland. The capital markets team at Deloitte Israel served as investment bankers for the joint venture between Nofar and Interland.

NODE EXPANDS INTO SPAIN WITH STARCITY SPAIN ACQUISITION

Node Living

Global build-to-rent and coliving asset manager Node has acquired Starcity Spain S.L. to expand its high density urban living platform into Iberia. The Spanish platform will start with the repositioning and restoration of nine city centre residences in Barcelona and the development of purpose-built communities near key transport hubs in major Spanish cities. All communities will be operated under the Node brand. Node is pioneering the concept of curated living, a next generation, high density urban rental community that offers furnished studios, one bedroom and shared living accommodation for an all inclusive price with utilities and wifi included. Amenities include a variety of residents' lounges, wellness centres and coworking spaces to cater for the increasing trend of working from home. Members can join a unique global community with Node locations across North America and Europe and participate in curated events. “We are excited about our expansion into Spain, our fifth country of operations in five years since we started. The Spanish market has huge demand for an affordable and flexible rental offer that meets the needs of young urban professionals. This Spanish venture is proof of the success and global scalability of our business model in a post-COVID environment” said Anil Khera, Founder & CEO of Node. “We are delighted to partner with Node In what we see as a global consolidation of the coliving and urban living sector. The Node platform uniquely positions us for the next phase of growth in Spain, combining our Barcelona based team and portfolio with Node's global expertise, which will make us the largest and most experienced coliving company in Spain and a European market leader,” said Esteve Almirall, Partner and Head of Iberia at Node and co-founder of Starcity Spain. Node is uniquely positioned in the market as a 100% founder owned company, which unlike venture backed platforms, has allowed it to focus on building a long term, sustainable business. Node partners with local developers and invests alongside them and institutional investors to develop a new generation of urban rental assets. Node is planning large-scale expansion in the UK, Ireland, Spain, Canada and the US off the back of its recent success in cities including New York, Los Angeles, London and Dublin and has a current pipeline of 8,000 beds totalling over $1.5 billion in asset value. Node’s coliving model has stood strong over COVID “Cities are thriving again, 20-30 somethings were the first to return back to city living. Urban environments foster social interaction, creativity, and personal and professional growth by bringing people together. In all of our cities we are back to pre-COVID rents and occupancies”, said Anil Khera. Many co-living concepts have failed during the pandemic, primarily due to their tiny rooms and dorm-like feeling. The Node model of curated living is different - an offering that combines inspiring interior design and a diverse community of global members similar to Soho House, but within the context of urban living. Node's branded approach to urban living and its business model has proven highly successful during COVID. Node offers larger sized units, with creatively interior designed spaces and amenities such as SMEG retro fridges, Nest eco-thermostats and an app that connects all residents. There are communal areas for residents to socialise in, but the units are also large enough to allow for self-isolation or simply privacy. Living in a Node building has been a blessing to some residents who have been able to reside in their own apartment spaces but not feel lonely due to the communal living spaces. Node provides residents with a vibrant daytime community in which to work from home; a central, walkable neighbourhood; a "plug and play" interior designed apartment with excellent Wi-Fi; and a safe, sanitary, and professionally managed environment. "Our concept of curated living, where we give people the benefits of community living but still with the ability to have the privacy of their own home, has been the perfect mix in a pandemic. Residents are still not isolated as they are part of a building where people know and look out for each other. Roommates who do share a unit have created their safe bubble. Those who have individual units have private areas but feel secure yet not isolated. We have found a good balance of where dense urban living needs to be for the future." Live. Connect. Thrive. Why Node stands out. Node currently has communities in North America and Europe and has been home to hundreds of residents to date. Crafted for urban professionals, with world renowned design firm DesignAgency, Node’s move-in ready apartments offer sleek in-unit and shared amenities, from gorgeous, hi-spec kitchens to communal coworking spaces. Hassle-free Node living includes utilities and units are uniquely interior designed. Residents can look forward to amenities including: Locally curated artwork, cleaning services, kitchen, bed and bath packs are also available for residents who want to move in with a suitcase to an “Instagram ready” Node apartment Founder Bio. Anil Khera founded Node in 2016, and is the company’s founder and CEO. Anil has worked in real estate for nearly 20 years in the US, Europe and Asia, and was formerly a Managing Director at Blackstone, the world's largest real estate investment firm. Prior to that he worked at Credit Suisse / DLJ in Los Angeles. For more information, please visit: www.node-living.com Instagram: node.living Facebook: @nodelivingglobal LinkedIn: node. About Node Node is a global asset management company that invests, develops and manages high density urban rental communities in creative capital cities around the world.
