Building from the ground up to help logistics businesses to meet their carbon strategy
SUSTAINABILITY
Imagining a new kind of logistics hub with sustainability in its DNA
Nexus maximises sustainable performance through design, construction and operation.
Offering timber as an alternative to steel to make net zero carbon units a possibility.
Increasing photo voltaic roof panel provision so occupiers can generate on-site renewable electricity and reduce operational costs.
Targeting internationally recognised green credentials to create the most sustainable logistics facility in the country.
Sustainability Highlights
Electric car (EV) charging stations
Supporting a low-emission commute, up to 10% of car parking spaces can have EV charging points. Ducting and termination points can be provided to other car parking spaces to provide for future charging points.
Renewable energy
On-site renewable energy production using roof mounted photovoltaic solar panels. Advanced sub-metering infrastructure for ongoing energy management and verification. NZEB (Nearly Zero Energy Building) compliant fabric and MEP design.
LED lighting
High efficiency LED lighting system with daylight harvesting and occupancy controls. Interior and exterior LED light fittings to reduce energy costs.
Glue-laminated timber
IPUT have pioneered the use of glue-laminated timber in logistics development in Ireland and each unit has the potential to be delivered to a net zero carbon standard.
Recycling
Dedicated space for storage and collection of recyclables to reduce environmental impact.
Rainwater harvesting
Rainwater harvesting system to reduce potable water consumption.
Energy efficient building envelope
Advanced building envelope to improve thermal performance.
Energy usage monitoring
Energy usage monitors installed in warehouse to ensure efficiencies are identified and implemented.
GLULAM
Offering timber framing - the sustainable construction material that presents a unique net zero opportunity
Glue laminated timber delivers the same strength and spans as steel. It takes only a fraction of the energy to produce and reduces carbon emissions in construction and use.
Nexus is the first logistics park in Ireland to offer glulam as an option on every unit. Giving occupiers the opportunity to make a bold statement for sustainability.
PV PANELS
Future-proofing every building with photo voltaic panels to generate on-site renewable electricity
Nexus reaches higher to increase long-term energy efficiency for every occupier.
Using PV panels to maximise sustainable performance. Reducing running cost and offering new levels of energy self-sufficiency.
Unit G at Aerodrome Business Park, completed in October 2021, was our first warehouse development to apply our new sustainable standards for logistics buildings, with maximising renewable energy generation being a key design consideration.
SMART METERING
Smart metering technology at Nexus Logistics Park
Smart metering technology installed at Nexus Logistics Park allows IPUT to monitor electricity use, warehouse temperature and indoor air quality.
Designed For Wellness
Making a place that boosts health and productivity
Nexus makes employee wellbeing a priority. Investing in world-class placemaking to create an exceptional workplace that meets and exceeds expectations.
This gives occupiers the opportunity to attract and retain the best talent in the industry and improves morale, job satisfaction and productivity.
