The Vice Versa Residence will be powered with solar energy
The Vice Versa Residence, which is currently in construction in Warsaw’s Wola district, will be powered with solar energy.
Photovoltaic panels installed on the rooftops of two buildings will help residents save up to 50% percent on the costs of lightning up the buildings’ common areas. The Vice Versa Residence, which was awarded a BREEAM Interim certificate while still under construction, is Yareal’s fifth housing estate to be granted this distinction.
A 20 kWp photovoltaic system will produce 19 000 kWh of electric energy per year. Green energy will provide part of the power required to light the Vice Versa complex’s common areas. Solar power generated by the panels will be sold back to the grid and used to light up Vice Versa’s underground garage, the staircases and the central green area. The Vice Versa Residence, located by the Daszyński Roundabout, is one of the few housing estates in Poland equipped with its own renewable energy source.
Even though the complex is already BREEAM-certified, employing photovoltaic panels and thus reducing CO2 emission will make it even more sustainable. An independent energy source – apart from improving the estate’s environmental footprint and increasing energy independence – will also reduce the maintenance fee paid by the residents. The costs of energy supplied to common areas will drop by up to 50%* per year.
“The photovoltaic system is just one of the many innovative and energy-efficient solutions implemented at Vice Versa. Some of its underground garage parking spaces were adapted for installing private electric vehicle charging stations as per residents’ requests already at the design stage. Each such station shall be fitted with an independent energy meter. The estate will also feature energy-efficient LED lighting and high-performance elevators” — says Jacek Zengteler, Board Member and Head of Residential at Yareal.
The Vice Versa Residence is a private building complex composed of two multi-dwelling buildings offering 181 luxury apartments spanning between 28 and over 150 square meters. The estate is located by the intersection of Przyokopowa and Szarych Szeregów Streets and is planned around a central green area which will be divided into relaxation and leisure zones intended for both children and adults. A distinguishing feature of the estate’s design is an elegant half-open entrance area separating the private patios from public space. Each apartment will come with a loggia while top floor penthouses will feature spacious terraces spanning up to 150 square meters. These are sure to provide a spectacular view of Warsaw’s skyline. 75% of Vice Versa Residence apartments have already been sold. Construction is scheduled to be completed in autumn 2020.

* The calculations on energy savings are approximate. Poland receives on average ca. 1,600 hours of sunshine per year. The photovoltaic panels’ output depends on insolation as well as individual energy consumption patterns and varies significantly from month to month.
