Heating and cooling from the earth

Our environment brims with energy. An Aquifer Thermal Energy Storage (ATES) enables the energy stored in the ground to be used for heating and/or cooling a building. Water is pumped from the ground and the building is heated with the aid of a heat exchanger. The process works the same way in summer, but the other way around. Excess heat is returned and stored underground.

Sustainable lighting

In the offices and the warehouse sustainable LED lighting is used. Lights are switched on and off via a motion sensor.

ICT

With the aid of applied virtualization technology we’ve been able to solve the problem of over and/or under capacity. The result is a substantial efficiency improvement in heat accumulation and cooling. At the same time energy consumption has decreased as fewer servers are required in the IT department.
