Climate comfort meets efficiency and environmental sustainability in a Caribbean mall

Confort climático confluye con eficiencia y sostenibilidad ambiental en un mall del Caribe

Colombia. It recently began the installation of a modern air conditioning system, parking lot ventilation and solar energy in the Buenavista Shopping Center, in the city of Barranquilla.

The company Green Yellow, responsible for the project, has stated that it represents a significant advance in the energy transition of the Caribbean region of Colombia, oriented towards a more efficient, sustainable operation and committed to current environmental challenges.

Ricardo Insignares"Buenavista I, as a shopping center of great relevance, has the duty to optimize the use of natural resources. This project will allow us to offer our visitors a more sustainable and comfortable environment, with a high-power air conditioning system that will guarantee cool spaces even in the face of the high temperatures of the Caribbean coast. In addition, it will be backed by a photovoltaic system installed on the roof of the shopping center," said Ricardo Insignares, manager of the Buenavista Shopping Center.

Insignares also highlighted the positive impact of the alliance with GreenYellow: "This collaboration will allow us to achieve greater efficiency in the use of energy and water, which will result in a significant reduction in operating expenses. At the same time, we will make a tangible contribution to reducing our carbon footprint, reaffirming our commitment to sustainability."

Solutions
The project implemented by GreenYellow addresses two key areas at the Buenavista I Shopping Center. On the one hand, the air conditioning of the common areas will have 14 water-condensed package-type equipment, each with a capacity of 25 tons, reaching a total of 350 tons. This system is complemented by two cooling towers and four condensing water pumps, designed to ensure efficient and guaranteed operation.

In addition, 34 air curtains have been installed in the main entrances to prevent the entry of hot air, optimizing the performance of the air conditioning system and maintaining comfortable temperatures for visitors.

On the second front, the ventilation of the underground parking lots will be modernized with 27 axial fans and 12 jet fans, which will ensure efficient air circulation and a more pleasant experience for users.

Mario Santos"This initiative will significantly improve comfort conditions in common areas, positively impacting the flow of visitors and commercial dynamics. In addition, the selected equipment guarantees lower energy consumption, optimized by our team of Energy Managers," said Mario Santos, Energy Efficiency Engineering Coordinator at GreenYellow.

Solar energy
Likewise, GreenYellow has begun the installation of an innovative photovoltaic system on the roof of the Buenavista I Shopping Center, reaffirming its commitment to environmental sustainability and the energy transition in the Caribbean region. This project includes 108 solar panels, with an installed capacity of 66 kWp, which will generate approximately 115 MWh of clean energy per year, which will reduce 56 tons of CO2 equivalent (tCO2eq).

Juliana López"With this project, we are leading Buenavista towards a cleaner and more efficient energy model, helping them to reduce their energy bill costs and directly contributing to the reduction of their environmental impact. This consolidates us as strategic allies for the retail sector on its path to sustainability," said Juliana López, commercial leader of GreenYellow.
