Armenia’s first net-zero-ready development

Sustainability

Leading the way
to net zero

Aiming to set a new benchmark for sustainable design in Armenia

By integrating state-of-the-art office facilities with cutting-edge sustainable design, we are creating an environment where businesses thrive, international relationships flourish and a new standard for environmentally conscious development is established.

Guided by a holistic approach to sustainability, WTC Yerevan seamlessly integrates passive and active design strategies to target LEED Gold, WELL Gold level certification, ensuring energy efficiency, occupant wellbeing and environmental responsibility at every level.

Net-Zero Ready Design

Every element, from architecture to landscape, aims to embrace low-water, low-maintenance solutions, reinforcing a commitment to ecological harmony and setting a new standard for sustainable urban development in Armenia.

Green Building Certifications

Through energy-efficient design, renewable energy integration and resource conscious strategies, WTC Yerevan responds to Yerevan’s distinctive climate—extreme seasonal shifts, low humidity and prevailing northeast winds—to create a resilient and adaptive built environment.

Healthy Indoor Environment

WTC Yerevan transforms environmental challenges into sustainable advantages. Every aspect—from passive cooling strategies to smart water management systems—is designed to maximize efficiency while minimizing environmental impact.

A new benchmark
for Armenia

By integrating state-of-the-art office facilities with cutting-edge sustainable design, we are creating an environment where businesses thrive, international relationships flourish and a new standard for environmentally conscious development is established.

Guided by a holistic approach, WTC Yerevan integrates passive and active design strategies to target LEED Gold and WELL Gold certification. Every element, from architecture to landscape, embraces low-water, low-maintenance solutions — responding to Yerevan’s distinctive climate to create a resilient and adaptive built environment.

Designing for
climate resilience

The city’s hot, dry summers, characterized by intense solar radiation and low humidity, place high demands on cooling systems, while cold winters lead to significant heat loss, requiring a balanced energy strategy. The project integrates passive and active design strategies that mitigate climate challenges, while also enhancing energy efficiency and occupant comfort.

Passive shading & site planning

Façade treatments, canopies and landscape elements manage solar exposure, reducing summer heat gain and cooling demand.

Natural ventilation & air quality

Orientation, window placement and airflow pathways harness prevailing winds for natural cooling and better indoor air.

Net zero, nature & wellbeing

Three strategies work together: clean energy keeps operations carbon free, green terraces and water systems restore the site, and daylight-led design keeps occupants healthy.

Net zero operational carbon

To truly achieve net zero operational carbon, WTC Yerevan harnesses the power of clean, renewable energy. On-site solar energy solutions work in tandem with off-site renewable sources, ensuring that the buildings operate independently of carbon-intensive energy grids.

Planted terraces and interiors of WTC Yerevan

Biodiversity & water

Biophilic design elements, such as lush green terraces, planted interiors and integrated landscape features, actively purify the air, reduce stress and enhance cognitive function. WTC Yerevan prioritizes water conservation through an integrated system of potable water tanks and rainwater collection.

Rainwater collection & storage

The tower’s rooftop and façade capture rainwater, directing to a storage system which is stored and filtered in a dedicated underground tank

Greywater recycling

The building collects and treats greywater from sinks repurposing it for irrigation.
