Globalworth inaugurates the biggest kinetic floor in an office building worldwide

Globalworth, the leading office investor in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE), is inaugurating the most advanced lobby in the region, with a number of innovations and technological premieres that include: the world’s largest kinetic floor in an office building, the longest screen wall in CEE, the largest natural green wall in an office building in southern and eastern Europe.

The Globalworth Tower building, which welcomes some 30,000 visitors daily, has become a benchmark for office space innovation and sustainability.

“Technology is part of our company’s DNA, and as a result we can today showcase the offices of the future. The largest business community in Romania, the Globalworth community, can now enjoy a workplace which generates energy through motion and where visitors can relax and work in a comfortable lobby, surrounded by natural elements and assisted by a robot.” said Dimitris Raptis, Deputy CEO and CIO at Globalworth. 

A kinetic floor, a world premiere for an office building, made by the Pavegen technology company, transforms the weight of steps into electricity, which is subsequently used to power other innovative mechanisms in the lobby. The two floor surfaces installed in the Globalworth Tower have a cumulative area of ​​40 square metres, the largest of any office building worldwide.

Each step on the Pavegen floor surface generates approximately three joules of electricity and five watts per person, which is equivalent to turning on three LED bulbs for a second or six seconds of conversation on an iPhone 8.

Globalworth Tower, which is classified as Class A, rises to 120 metres over 26 floors and has a gross leasable area of ​​54,000 sqm. It is occupied by multiple tenants and is the first building in South-Eastern Europe to receive LEED Platinum, the highest available green certification. The building benefits from completely reconfigurable office space, both natural light and artificial lighting with automatic adjustment, a rainwater recovery system, and various eco functions. Tenants include Vodafone Romania, Huawei, Nesspresso, Ferrero, Bunge, Prime Kapital, Anritsu, Crowdstrike, Aera Technology, Cazacu & Associations, Inditex, Global Vision, NNDKP, Wipro, Mega Image / Delhaize Group and Globalworth.
