“Zielo Shopping” Centre – Pozuelo (Madrid)

Imtech was charged with executing the HVAC, fire protection, plumbing, sanitation and BMS installations of the new “Zielo Shopping” shopping centre situated in Pozuelo (Madrid) and consisting of three storeys.
The work undertaken by Imtech contributed to also making “Zielo Shopping” a sustainable building, the first shopping centre in Europe to obtain LEED Gold certification, the most highly recognised internationally. Right from the design phase, it was conceived to minimise its environmental impact and to reduce water consumption by up to 30%.
The mall’s HVAC installation and that of the communal areas consisted of refrigeration production with water-condensing coolers via closed cooling towers and heat production with natural gas boilers.
The installation of the communal areas consisted of supplying cooled and hot water at the foot of each retail outlet with automatic equalising valves and calorie meters integrated into the BMS system that allow the real energy costs consumed by each outlet to be billed to the users. Fire detection and extinction installations were also executed.
