Retrofit of an ’80s warehouse into an NZEB smart factory

From ’80s Warehouse to NZEB Smart Factory: A Winning Retrofit Diary

Picture this: you step into a 1984 industrial warehouse—flickering neon lights, massive heat loss, skyrocketing energy bills. Now picture walking through the same door twelve months later: a net-zero energy smart factory with advanced automation, 60 % lower operating costs and unbeatable workplace comfort. Curious how we got there?

Project Goals & Retrofit Strategy

The mission was twofold: maximize energy efficiency and digitalize production. Here are the game-changing solutions:

  • High-performance envelope: mineral-wool sandwich panels, U-value < 0.20 W/m²K.
  • 400 kWp PV + storage: supplies 82 % of annual demand.
  • 100 % inverter HVAC: 85 % heat recovery and night-time free cooling.
  • BMS & IoT platform: smart sensors for predictive maintenance and live energy tracking.
  • LED lighting with DALI: presence & daylight control— an extra 35 % cut in lighting costs.

Tangible Results: Numbers That Speak

  • Energy Class A4 NZEB: 420 t CO₂ saved every year.
  • ROI 5.1 years: leveraging CT 2.0 incentives and Industry 4.0 tax credits.
  • +18 % productivity: thanks to thermal and lighting comfort plus lean layout.
  • Brand boost: LEED Gold & ISO 50001 certifications achieved.
