The energy consumption of a shopping center depends on various uses.
Each of them has been made more efficient by applying the following measures

square

Heating

NO COMBUSTION:
The center’s winter heating system does not burn hydrocarbons (such as natural gas or oil) but exchanges heat with external fluids (air and groundwater).

square

Cooling

EFFICIENCY:
Summer cooling system that exchanges heat with water is one of the most efficient.

square

Ventilation

HEAT RECOVERY UNITS:
Every building needs clean air, but expelled air often represents a loss of indoor temperature (hot in winter and cool in summer). In this building, as the air leaves, it exchanges its temperature with the air entering, minimizing temperature losses and further saving energy.

square

Lighting

HIGH EFFICIENCY:
All lighting fixtures inside the building and those installed in the multi-story parking lot are LEDs, which is a type of fixture that consumes less energy for the same amount of light emitted.

square

Hot water

NO COMBUSTION:
No hydrocarbons are burned to produce the hot water.

square

Lifts and escalators

HIGH EFFICIENCY OF INSTALLED ELEMENTS:
With each replacement of old systems with new ones, systems containing energy-efficient devices are installed.

square

Power

HIGH DEVICE EFFICIENCY:
The consumption of electrical outlets does not depend on the building but on the devices connected to it. The center’s management applies a sustainable purchasing policy for office products in which energy efficiency is a priority feature.

The 2022 energy consumption of the Fiumara shopping center common areas amounts to:

Gas
0 smc

Electricity
2.679.711 kWh

The energy supplied to the center is certified as 100% produced from renewable sources, which in terms of saving emissions into the atmosphere is equivalent to:

258 Gasoline cars driven for 1 year less

In a shopping center there are several water uses made more efficient by applying the following measures:

square

Restrooms

LOW FLOW AND LOSS DETECTION:
In the common parts of a shopping mall, the largest use of water is related to the use of toilets. The toilets are equipped with low water consumption equipment and leak detection systems.

square

Technical uses

EFFICIENCY:
The building’s thermal systems consist of evaporative towers that, through evaporation of water, cool the building in summer. The high efficiency of evaporative towers makes it possible to minimize their use.

square

Irrigation

DRIP IRRIGATION:
Irrigation of Fiumara Park is done in part through the extensive use of drip systems, which are the most efficient solution on the market.

square

Fire protection

LEAKAGE DETECTION:
The fire protection system should not show water consumption unless there are cases of scheduled checks or emergency audits. Its water consumption is automatically detected, and if it is not zero, an alarm informs maintenance that there may be a leak.

square

Retail units use

SENSITIZATION:
The shopping center is not directly responsible for the water consumption of the tenants: common stores, bars, restaurants, car washes, laundries have very different water consumption. In any case, management periodically raises awareness of these issues among all tenants in order to generate collective awareness and breaks down consumption for each operator so that everyone is aware of and responsible for his or her own consumption.

The 2022 water consumption of the Fiumara shopping center amounts to:

35.180
cubic metres

Fiumara Shopping and Leisure Center has achieved a sustainability certification according to the British BREEAM In-Use International Commercial v6 protocol. This is the most widely used certification protocol worldwide for the sustainability of buildings during their use.

+ 4.200 certificates

BREEAM In-Use International Commercial v6 worldwide, including:

+ 300 certificates
