Second generation warehouses is the key word of the Green
Blue Energy Factory project, which will represent the
passage from warehouses fuelled by fossil fuel to a
second generation of industrial and commercial buildings
IEE/10/380/SI2.589427
1st International Workshop – “Big changes start in small towns” - June 21st 2012 - Brussels
The project promotes the concept of
“GREEN-BLUE-ENERGY FACTORY”:
industrial and commercial buildings equipped with
single or combined renewable energy sources,
able to provide electricity or heating/cooling for the
air conditioning of premises, as well as for the
business activities housed therein.
IEE/10/380/SI2.589427
1st International Workshop – “Big changes start in small towns” - June 21st 2012 - Brussels
The expected results
The project will trigger investments in di GBE FACTORIES
for a total of 21 MW
(Electricity / Heating/ Cooling)
IEE/10/380/SI2.589427
1st International Workshop – “Big changes start in small towns” - June 21st 2012 - Brussels
GBE Factory aims at:
Boosting invetsments;
Abating costs linked to the consumption of energy for
heating/cooling of the warehouses and /or for the
productive activities inside
and/or selling the surplus to the nieghbouring companies
of the same industrial area.

The case of NUNCAS (Italy)
The Nuncas company
manufactures products for home
cleaning and care, and has
always been very careful on
renewable energy source
innovation. In 2009 it won the
award “Ecotech 2009-11 edition4TH Category” for the
enterprises that are excellent in
eco-friendly behaviors.

A “passive building”, equipped with several renewable
energy systems:
-
photovoltaic plant (135 kWp) able to provide
energy to the entire building.
- There is a heating pump.
- The entire plant is completely automatic, and it is
equipped with a system that is able to check and
notice the employment of energy sources for the
production of electricity, heating and cooling.
- The electric light is regulated by a presence detector as well, and natural
lighting is exploited through adjustable chimneys.

The case of Best Western Premier Hotel
Victoria (Germany)
The Best Western Premier Hotel Victoria is a
4 stars city hotel with 69 rooms situated in
Freiburg.
Since 2002 the hotel became a zeroemissions building (based on the CO2
value), due to the constant and continuous
application of modern solar, eolic and
many other environmental friendly
technologies.
IEE/10/380/SI2.589427
1st International Workshop – “Big changes start in small towns” - June 21st 2012 - Brussels
Main technologies involved:
3 heat insulating panels were built in the windows of the entire building;
The rear building was completely insulated in 2009 and an impressive primary energy
requirement of only 82 kWh/m2 was reached;
Intelligent air supply units, through which an inflow of tempered air is possible, were
integrated in the face of the building;
The heat for warm water and heating is up to 100% produced by only renewable
energy: a wood-pellet heater combined with a thermal solar collector.
The thermal-solar energy plant with a collector area of 30 m2 supports the warm water
production.
IEE/10/380/SI2.589427
1st International Workshop – “Big changes start in small towns” - June 21st 2012 - Brussels
Ground water cooling:
a pump ensures 10 to 13 degrees cold water
from a depth of about 16 to 20 meters from the
water well located in the hotel courtyard and
supplies the heat exchanger system.
The cool water circulates through a pipe system
into the room for being then released back to
the ground (well) with a maximum temperature
of 16 degrees Celsius through an injection
pipe, where it drains away and cools down.
