PingProperties improves energy performance of Cascade building to A++
10-09-2024
PingProperties has recently carried out further sustainability improvements to Building 1, comprising 4,870 m² of office space, in the Cascade complex in Groningen to make it Paris Proof. The renovation work has raised the energy label from A to A++.
At the time of purchase in 2015 this part of the complex at Cascadeplein 1-3 had energy label C, so in 2019 steps were taken to improve its sustainability by installing new cooling machines and LED lighting. This work significantly improved the building’s energy performance to energy label A.
Further improvements to the building have been made this year by replacing the central heating system with a hybrid heat pump, insulating the heating pipes and installing charging points in the car park. The result is a major improvement in the energy label to A++. Thanks to these sustainable investments, actual energy consumption per usable square metre has been drastically reduced and the complex will be fully Paris Proof well before 2040.
