Sustainable warehouse
The heating of the warehouse and office building is based on a VRV system, using heat pumps that take warm air from outside and from geothermal sources. Energy-efficient LED lamps are used to light the interiors. Plans are already underway for the installation of a photovoltaic system that will supply the building with electricity. The parking lot has 16 spaces adapted for charging electric vehicles. The building has a prestigious BREEAM certification.
