The first Hanoi building office received WELL Precertification

Renowned for its comprehensive set of standards that evaluate architectural structures based on medical research and the interconnection between space, health, and wellbeing, the WELL Certification stands as a benchmark for the health and wellness of employees working in office buildings.

Surveys have shown that employees in WELL-certified offices exhibit an 8 per cent higher work performance compared to those in standard office environments, and the accomplishment of Office Tower @ Heritage West Lake reflects the hard work and ambition of the developers to meet the 10 stringent criteria required for the certification.

The criteria include workspace elements such as air, water, nourishment, light, sound, and materials to aspects of employee wellbeing and mental health, including movement, mind, thermal comfort, and community.

These rigorous standards are developed and managed by the International WELL Building Institute, a non-profit organisation dedicated to researching health-oriented building solutions.

The prestigious recognition paves the way for Office Tower @ Heritage West Lake to receive official WELL Certification in the first quarter of 2025.

The development implements a range of energy-saving solutions, resulting in significant annual energy reductions.

Incorporating 24mm Low-E glass for its exterior, the building's energy-efficient design significantly reduces heat transfer and minimises energy consumption by nearly 70 per cent. Additionally, the reduction in thermal performance with the building envelope enhances cooling energy efficiency by over 9 per cent.

Equipped with 380 lighting sensors, it intelligently detects unoccupied areas and automatically adjusts or turns off lighting, optimising energy consumption.

Over 30 per cent of the workspace is filled with natural daylight, further reducing electricity usage.

A highlight is the ‘Green Oasis’, a dedicated sanctuary on the 22^nd and 23^rd floors for employees to rest and recharge, featuring native plants with minimal need for water.

Beyond its innovative design, Office Tower prioritises the wellbeing of its employees by offering a diverse range of amenities that are easily accessible within the building or within a 400-metre radius. The West Lake area, where Office Tower is situated, is also a vibrant hub for vibrant activities such as jogging, cycling, and boating.

Before achieving WELL Precertification, the Heritage West Lake project was honoured to receive another prestigious international green certification – the BCA Green Mark from the Singapore Building and Construction Authority in 2023.

These prestigious global certifications of Office Tower @ HWL solidify CapitaLand Development Vietnam's unwavering commitment to its mission of ‘Enriching Life, Uplifting Communities’, while simultaneously redefining the sustainable living and working environment.
