Decathlon Parma

The new Decathlon store in Parma has reached the Gold level of certification according to LEED Italia NC 2009 standards, exceeding the initial forecasts. The project was developed on a previously man-made site and served by public transport. The car parks provide the possibility of recharging electric cars and allow the infiltration of rainwater. The heat island effect due to the project is reduced because the external materials respect the limits of the Solar Reflection Index indicated. The water resource is protected through the adoption of sanitary facilities and taps with low water consumption, is also provided for a system of reuse of rainwater. Energy consumption is reduced thanks to the air conditioning system with electric heat pump, high efficiency electronic fans and modulation of the renewal flow rate according to the concentration of CO2 in the environment. The artificial lighting is LED and dimmable according to the amount of natural light present in the sales area. The photovoltaic system covers a percentage of annual energy needs of more than 9%, while the electricity supply contract provides that all the energy purchased is produced by renewable energy sources. The materials used have a recycled percentage and are extracted and processed regionally, reducing the environmental impact. In addition, construction waste has been sent to recovery and recycling centres. The quality of the indoor environment is guaranteed through a high rate of air exchange and the use of internal finishing materials that do not contain VOCs and formaldehyde.
