The Ernst-August-Galerie in Hanover developed by ECE was named the best sustainable retail property of the year at the Mapic retail real estate fair in Cannes, France.
ECE's shopping centre in Hanover had already received a sustainability certificate in gold from the German Sustainable Building Council (DGNB). The gallery is the first shopping centre in which electrical mall air-conditioning is not required due to natural ventilation. As a result 35 tonnes of CO2 can be saved per year. Also a 250-kilowatts photovoltaic system is installed on the roof for energy generation, which saves another 50 tonnes of CO2 every year.
Further climate protection measures include the latest generation of energy-efficient illuminates as well as the usage of certified green electricity. The 230-million-euro project was planned and realized by ECE and HGA Capital Grundbesitz und Anlage.
