In 2023, the cost of electricity has been multiplied by 2.5, and about a 10% increase is expected in February 2024. For logistic warehouses, the note is salty. Decline in profitability, legislative obligations (cuckoo, the Decree tertiary) and environmental requirements (it’s not your margins that burn…), il est plus que temps d’agir pour baisser la consommation énergétique des bâtiments logistiques.
And if, to remedy the problem, you wager on a solution to low-tech, high-performance and affordable ? You see us coming ? 😉 Let’s point out the interest of the solutions thermo-reflective Cool Roof for logistics facilities.
First, let us note some of the numbers. After the working group ” Plan Grenelle “the stock of logistics facilities built in France between 1980 and 2008, the area of which is greater than 5000 m2, is approximately 36 million m2.
If there is no data for the buildings constructed prior to 1980, the French park of logistics facilities, all areas combined, is nevertheless felt to $ 100 million m2.
Their power consumption, it is understood between 100 and 200 KWh/m2/year. Ce secteur représente 1/4 de l’ensemble des édifices existants, mais surtout :
1/3 of the consumption ofenergy ;
1/3 of the emissions of GES.
Reduce energy consumption in commercial buildings is essential to meet the requirements of environmental and economic.
👉 In 2015, the air conditioning has represented 32% of the electricity consumption in the tertiary sector, while he was only 25 % 15 years ago. This gives you dizzy ? We also…
The cold groups represent 20% to 50% of the power consumption of a building logistics. The increase in the cost of energy affects strongly the companies in the sector.
However, a simple solution exists to prevent the expenditure of energy : the cool roofing. This technique, which involves the covering of roofs white with a solution reflective to limit the overheating of buildings, cansignificantly improve the functioning of the equipment HVAC (heating, ventilation, air conditioning).
The logistics facilities, the roof of which benefit from our solution, reflective Cool Roof France, recorded during the summer of inside temperatures up to 7 °C lower than those of the buildings that have retained their roofs with asphalt. Specifically, it changes what ?
The reduction of the temperature of buildings and logistics warehouses leads to a decline in the use of air conditioning and thus, the consumption of electricity.
The decrease of the temperature at the top of the roof also creates ideal conditions for the heat exchange of heat pumps. In buildings tri-temperature, this limitation of the heat also helps to facilitate the regulatory process and to limit the production of cold.
Here’s something to lighten the burdens of your business and act in favor of the environment, without incurring the large work.
📌 The proof is in the image ? One of our customers, the director of the Leclerc Gonesse to talk to you about his experience :
The cool roofing leads a decrease of the energy consumption of 20% to 50%. Another interesting point is that with a white roof, no need to water under the machine to cool off. Store your pipes and also make a water-saving !
2 years ago, the store Brico Dépôt de Brive-la-Gaillarde, adopted the coating thermo-reflective passive Cool Roof France. A result of the experience ?
A decrease of the temperature inside the store between 6 and 7°C ;
The number of hours in excess of 25°C over the summer period divided by 9 ;
💰 A reduction in expenses related to the use of the air conditioning of 41%. The price per KWh, we’ll let you imagine the savings…
As another example, the storage warehouse of a company in toulouse (france), covered by a roof in steel tank. Prior to the coating of reflective Cool Roof France, the building of 1150 m2 recorded peak temperatures of 38 °C in summer. The cool roofing has resulted in the reduction of 6.1 °C of the temperature in the building. Our measurement tools post-construction, we have found that, even in the heat of the summer, the temperature has never exceeded 30 °C. what To bring comfort to the employees and, once again, to limit the use of air conditioning’.
In Brittany, in the Côtes d’armor, is a logistics center in the tri-temperature (dry/4°/-10°C) based in Yffiniac who has adopted our CoolRoof. The application on the roof asphalt of the building has allowed a reduction of the power consumption related to the use of the air conditioning of 22%. With summers becoming hotter, even in the North of Brittany, this economy isn’t a fantasy.
