Project Description

The MOL Campus was built in Budapest’s 11th district, on the plot bordered by Dombóvári Road, Budafoki Road and Hengermalom Road. The project consists of a 143-metre high, 28-storey tower, a 6-storey podium, and a 4-storey underground garage, with a total floor area of 86,000 m². In addition to offices, the building houses a restaurant, shops, a café, and a fitness centre.

MOL’s aim was to create a sustainable, future-oriented office building. Accordingly, energy supply is provided by geothermal heat pumps and a solar panel system, while water management relies on water-saving fixtures, greywater recycling, and rainwater harvesting. The mechanical engineering solutions are closely integrated with architectural and interior design expectations, contributing to LEED and BREEAM certifications.

Features

The MOL Campus complex in Budapest’s 11th district was realised as a 143-metre high tower with 28 floors and a 6-storey podium, with a total floor area of 86,000 m², and a 4-level underground garage. The tower functions as office space, while the podium houses, in addition to offices, a restaurant, shops, a café and a fitness centre.

The design of the building engineering systems focused on sustainability and preparing for future environmental challenges. Future climate design values were taken into account, with special emphasis on energy efficiency and creating a comfortable indoor environment. Energy supply is ensured by geothermal heat pump systems and solar panels, the latter installed on the podium roof. The building complies with ASHRAE and other sustainability certification requirements.

Water management focused on minimising mains water consumption. The system integrates water-saving fixtures, greywater recycling and rainwater storage. Industrial wastewater is treated with separate grease and oil separators.

Heating and cooling are based on geothermal heat pumps, complemented by district heating and water-cooled chillers. A stepped cooling system ensures appropriate comfort for different levels and functions. Suspended radiant and convective panels, fan-coil units and underfloor heating/cooling solutions guarantee high comfort levels.

Mechanical engineering solutions are closely aligned with the building’s architectural and interior design concept, with the integration of systems into suspended ceilings forming part of the overall design. The systems contribute to achieving LEED and BREEAM certification, underlining the sustainable, future-oriented approach.
