From factory to sustainable mall

VERONA, Italy - July 4, 2016 - PRLog -- The refurbishment of the abandoned Officine Adige factory area is called Adige City and was designed by the famous architect Richard Rogers. In the masterplan there is also a mall, Adigeo, with a gross leasable area (GLA) of 42,000 square meters, which will open in 2017 with about 130 shops and services.

The area is located just 500 meters from the A4 motorway exit, which gives access to Verona city center on the main street. It can easily be reached by about 585,000 people in 30 minutes. Free parking for 2,500 cars will be available for the visitors who will reach the center by car. Furthermore the new Metrobus, still under construction, will have a stop in front of the mall, so the centre will also be easy to reach by public transport.

Filtration, ventilation and air renewal are thus guaranteed by Climaveneta units that, thanks to the heat recovery, are able to ensure a high energy efficiency in the building. As a matter of fact considering the large quantities of fresh air needed to grant a high air quality level, imposed by regulations in force; at Verona Mall it has been necessary to find the best solution capable of combining internal comfort and sustainability.
