This project consists in the addition of a 5000 ft. sq. freezer facility to an existing food distribution facility. The principal innovations implemented in this state of the art facility are as follows:

• Online network of sensors for temperature / humidity detection in the walls, the roof and under the concrete floor slab for 24 hr supervision and control complete with supervisory signal transmitted to an independent alarm central.

• Radiant (glycol) heating system under the floor insulation for temperature control of the ground below the slab.

• Heat exchange systems for energy recuperation from the cooling systems to heat the existing facility;

• Use of facade and roofing materials with a high solar reflectance index to reduce heat gain and heat island effect;

• Creation of a vegetated swale at the edge of the parking lot to reduce stormwater volume though infiltration.
