Now in its third year of operation, the hotel has established a solid presence in the business tourism accommodation sector, actively contributing to the growth of tourism in the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>During construction, we used sustainable building materials that support environmentally friendly operation and long-term energy efficiency. The hotel utilizes smart energy systems, reduces waste production, and supports eco-friendly initiatives in its daily operations. Sustainability has become an integral part of our group\u2019s activities\u2014without compromising on business performance. A clear testament to our commitment to sustainability is that Mercure Debrecen became the first hotel outside the capital in Hungary to achieve the internationally recognized <strong>BREEAM (Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method)<\/strong> certification at the <strong>Excellent<\/strong> level. This certification confirms the building\u2019s environmentally conscious and energy-efficient design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>BREEAM is a sustainability assessment method developed in the United Kingdom. Its aim is to monitor and mitigate the environmental impact of buildings throughout their life cycle, provide credible environmental labels, promote the recognition of environmental benefits in buildings, and stimulate demand for sustainable buildings, construction products, and supply chains\u2014ultimately creating long-term value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The certification is based on assessments across 9+1 categories, each addressing key impact areas such as low-carbon design, durability and resilience, climate change adaptation, and the protection of ecological value and biodiversity. This certification is recognized both internationally and within Hungary, making it one of the most popular rating systems today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>At HUN\u00c9P, we are committed to actively working toward a more livable future. In every project, we pay special attention to protecting natural resources: we preserve arable land, safeguard soil and surface waters, and avoid technologies that cause significant air pollution. We are continuously seeking solutions that contribute to protecting our planet, because we believe that the path to a sustainable future lies in responsible construction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Currently, <strong>Mercure Debrecen is the highest-scoring BREEAM-certified hotel building in Hungary<\/strong>. Achieving the Excellent rating is a unique accomplishment in itself, as only two hotels in Hungary have received such a high assessment under this system. The BREEAM certificate means that we meet strict environmental performance standards, ensuring our hotel provides a green and welcoming environment for guests while minimizing our ecological footprint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"724\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"6610\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hunep.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/AST0000107858-1-1-1_page-0001-3-724x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6610\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hunep.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/AST0000107858-1-1-1_page-0001-3-724x1024.jpg 724w, https:\/\/www.hunep.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/AST0000107858-1-1-1_page-0001-3-212x300.jpg 212w, https:\/\/www.hunep.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/AST0000107858-1-1-1_page-0001-3-768x1086.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.hunep.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/AST0000107858-1-1-1_page-0001-3-1086x1536.jpg 1086w, https:\/\/www.hunep.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/AST0000107858-1-1-1_page-0001-3.jpg 1241w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 724px) 100vw, 724px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"724\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"6607\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hunep.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/AST0000107858-1-1-1_page-0002-1-724x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6607\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hunep.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/AST0000107858-1-1-1_page-0002-1-724x1024.jpg 724w, https:\/\/www.hunep.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/AST0000107858-1-1-1_page-0002-1-212x300.jpg 212w, https:\/\/www.hunep.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/AST0000107858-1-1-1_page-0002-1-768x1086.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.hunep.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/AST0000107858-1-1-1_page-0002-1-1086x1536.jpg 1086w, https:\/\/www.hunep.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/AST0000107858-1-1-1_page-0002-1.jpg 1241w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 724px) 100vw, 724px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Mercure Debrecen Hotel was completed in 2022 as a project of Bajcsy Invest Kft., a subsidiary of our SZINORG Group, and constructed by our company, HUN\u00c9P Zrt.
