INTEGRATING SAFETY, EFFICIENCY, AND COMFORT WITH AN ALL-IN-ONE LOYTEC SOLUTION


ParkLake Shopping Center in Bucharest.

Sonae Sierra inaugurated the Parklake Shopping Center presenting visitors with a new shopping experience that merges environmentally friendly design with a diverse array of leisure and sports offerings. This cutting-edge commercial complex embodies an investment of €180 million, encompassing 70,000 m² of Gross Leasable Area (GLA), over 200 shops, and 2,600 covered parking spaces. Parklake’s features include 23 restaurants and 14 movie theaters, all integrated into a unique and sustainable architectural design that harmonizes with the adjacent Titan Park and Lake. The architectural theme of Parklake is centered on “Park - Nature - Family.” This concept caters to modern consumer demands for a sophisticated and inviting atmosphere, high service standards, ease of parking, various rest areas, excellent lighting, acoustic comfort, public art, and areas for social and leisure activities, all within an environmentally friendly setting.

The Solution.

The building management system at Parklake is designed to minimize the environmental impact of the center while ensuring the safety and health of employees, tenants, and visitors. A strict monitoring and management system has been implemented to uphold these standards.

Our Competence partner RACE, a renowned building automation solutions provider, installed a comprehensive control and monitoring system using LOYTEC components at the Parklake Shopping Center. This solution enhances energy efficiency and optimizes the management of the center’s technical facilities.

The automation solution at Parklake Shopping Center enhances safety, efficiency, and comfort through a range of advanced features. The smoke extraction system ensures fire safety by efficiently managing smoke, while the integration of fire dampers and detection systems (via Modbus) further enhances fire safety. Efficient heating and cooling management is achieved through the center’s production and distribution of hot and cold water, and precise climate control integration (via Modbus) enhances comfort. The optimal operation of air handling units (AHUs) for air quality and temperature control, alongside the ventilation system, maintains comfort throughout the center. Energy consumption is closely monitored via thermal and electric power measurement, improving efficiency and cost management. The cooling system is efficiently controlled, and lighting is managed flexibly and energy-efficiently (ON/OFF and DALI). Resource usage is tracked and reported for better management and sustainability, facilitated by functional submetering with over 300 counters.

Mechanical transport systems (elevators, mechanical stairs, and automatic doors) are monitored to ensure smooth operation, while critical water systems (sprinklers, hydrants, drinking water, and sewage) are managed for safety and functionality.

Finally, power distribution blocks and generator groups are monitored to ensure a reliable power supply.

Benefits.

LOYTEC devices significantly enhance the Parklake Shopping Center by improving energy efficiency, safety, comfort, resource management, operational efficiency, reliability, and sustainability. They allow precise control and monitoring of systems like lighting, HVAC, and ventilation, reducing energy consumption and costs. Integrated fire safety systems ensure rapid response and smoke management, enhancing occupant safety. Precise climate control maintains a comfortable environment, while detailed resource consumption reporting and functional submetering facilitate efficient resource management. The reliable operation of mechanical systems and power distribution ensures smooth operations and adaptability for future needs. Overall, LOYTEC devices contribute to a superior, environmentally friendly shopping experience.

Conclusion.

The Parklake Shopping Center stands as a testament to the integration of modern architectural design with advanced building automation systems.

Through the implementation of LOYTEC components by RACE, Parklake not only provides an enhanced shopping and leisure experience but also sets a benchmark in energy efficiency and environmental responsibility.
