An external car park will be available to serve the new facility, but the center can be easily reached via public transport, subway and bus services.
Energy requirements
The building’s energy needs will be met through systems powered by renewable sources such as photovoltaic parks (355 kW of power for a total of 700 panels) and by district heating.
Adequate thermal insulation systems and high-performance units and plant systems will be used, while ventilation strategies will limit heat dispersion, noise, energy consumption and the entry of pollutants and cold and hot air into the rooms from the outside. winter and summer months.
