Polish Council of Commercial Objects activities

Overview

The Polish Council of Shopping Centers rebranded as the Polish Council of Commercial Objects (PROH) to better represent a diversifying retail market that now includes retail parks, convenience formats, and mixed-use projects. President Justyna Kur stated the previous name was “too narrow” for the modern sector.

Following this rebranding, PROH representatives met with the Ministry of Development and Technology to address challenges related to the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD). The discussions covered energy performance certificates and electric vehicle charging infrastructure.

A primary point of debate involved the methodology for assigning energy classes. PROH advocated for a separate category for commercial objects, arguing that the unique operational characteristics of shopping centers and parks—such as large common areas and tenant autonomy over systems—mean current assessment methods may not accurately reflect true energy efficiency levels.
