Shopping Centers as Power Hubs: Community Energy Resilience
Developers working with utility companies and local governments may have an easier time designing, building and budgeting power hubs — especially if they plan to
Upgrade insulation in roofs, walls, and floors to minimize heat transfer. Implementing energy management systems can provide real-time monitoring, data analytics, and control capabilities, enabling malls to optimize energy usage. Some important considerations are: Install submeters to track energy consumption of individual stores and areas.
This can be achieved through: Shopping mall developers should explore opportunities to incorporate renewable energy sources, such as solar photovoltaic panels and wind turbines, into their facilities to generate clean, sustainable power onsite.
Shopping malls represent complex built environments characterized by diverse spatial layouts, extensive mechanical systems, and high occupant densities. Consequently, they are notorious for their substantial energy consumption, driven primarily by heating, ventilation, air conditioning (HVAC), lighting, and escalator operations.
