Nike: A logistics center using twice as little energy thanks to Tractebel Engineering  

A search for efficiency at all levels of the project – materials, volumes, types of energy, energy consumption, lighting – enabled Tractebel Engineering design a distribution center for Nike in Belgium that was twice as efficient as a traditional warehouse.

Tractebel Engineering came up with a “sober” building by reducing the consumption of materials, energy, water and even the space in the center as much as possible. An innovative construction principle made it possible to reduce the amount of metal used in the warehouse by one third. A study on future use of the building optimized lighting. Only workstations such as lift carts and consoles are lit while the warehouse rows remain darkened.

A floor heating system along with a “natural” air circulation and climate control system without mechanically operated climate control reduced the level of consumption considerably while heat-emitting panels in maintenance areas enabled a major reduction in heating needs.
