  • Ukraine – Sustainable Design Strategy and Green Certification Pre-assessment for Silpo Flagship Store and Fozzy Group Retail Chain

As part of the Fozzy Group’s commitment to sustainability, this project involved a comprehensive engineering consultancy for the new development of a Silpo flagship store. The primary objective was to support certification under internationally recognized green building standards—LEED and BREEAM—while identifying strategies to enhance overall energy and resource efficiency across the broader retail portfolio.

The scope of work included a detailed analysis of project documentation in accordance with LEED and BREEAM certification criteria. Key tasks involved defining requirements and input parameters, verifying design assumptions, and developing a “simple-box” simulation model alongside both baseline and performance simulation models. These simulations facilitated a comparative analysis of energy savings and the environmental impact of the building design.

Beyond certification pre-assessment, the project evaluated the technical, economic, and environmental impacts of sustainable design measures. This included preparation of a comprehensive report summarizing findings, along with the pre-assessment results.

In parallel, CES conducted an in-depth review of the potential for implementing an Integrated Sustainable Facility and Resource Management System across the client’s operations. This included evaluating infrastructural needs, recommending suitable software solutions, and estimating key economic indicators—such as capital investments, operating costs, and expected savings—based on both documentation analysis and interviews with facility management and building users.

The project ultimately supported Fozzy Group in identifying viable sustainability investments and improving the environmental footprint of its flagship store and broader retail chain.
