Background

The international group AXA and PRD, a major player in logistics and commercial real estate, called on Accenta to redesign the heating system of an 18,000 m² temperature-controlled warehouse located in Saint-Quentin-Fallavier.

 

The objectives for this new building occupied by Rhenus Pharma addressed the following challenges:

– Achieve a high level of environmental quality

– Drastically optimise energy costs without sacrificing thermal comfort

– Obtain BREEAM Excellent certification

Accenta’s tailored solutions

Axa chose the geothermal-based heating and cooling production solution to replace its gas heating.

The project includes the installation of the following:

  •  A 5,800 m geothermal borehole field (39 boreholes 125 m deep)
  •  2 geothermal heat pumps
  •  1 air-source heat pump
  •  A class A BMS compliant with the BACS Decree

Benefits for the client

Geothermal energy, clean and unlimited, brings financial, regulatory and climate benefits:

  •  A significant reduction in energy consumption (-72%), the energy bill (-56%) and CO₂ emissions (-92%) with no loss of comfort
  • Compliance with the BACS Decree
  •  Compliance with the 2040 Tertiary Decree targets
  •  BREEAM Excellent certification of the building
  •  An increase in the property value of the site 
  •  An eco-responsible image that can be highlighted in Axa’s and Rhenus Pharma’s CSR communications
  •  La Française’s Favourite Award received at SIMI 2024
