Over the years, Manens has developed several projects within Marco Polo Airport. The project for the new Technological Hub has led to the centralization of the production of electrical, thermal, and refrigeration energy in a single structure, relocated away from the airport terminal.
The airport management company of Venice’s Marco Polo Airport, SAVE, has planned an enhancement of the airport facilities that will result in increased energy consumption. Manens’ project for the construction of the new trigeneration plant has addressed this need, as well as the goal of rationalizing the system as a whole and achieving the fundamental objective of energy efficiency and reducing environmental impacts.
The area affected by the interventions covers approximately 12,000 square meters, including:
- Approximately 2,720 square meters for the construction of the new facility housing the plant;
- Approximately 2,900 square meters for landscaping (including the reservoir for lamination);
- Approximately 1,440 square meters for parking and related maneuvering areas;
- Approximately 5,000 square meters for roads and maneuvering spaces.
The centralization of all electrical, thermal, and refrigeration energy production equipment in a single, decentralized hub from the terminal not only allows for energy cost containment but also rationalizes maintenance for improved reliability.
The project was developed entirely in Building Information Modeling (BIM), providing the significant advantage of integrated design, which allows for careful evaluation of potential interferences between disciplines, thus avoiding surprises during construction.
In 2022, the airport’s electricity demand was 36,504 MWh, and the thermal demand was 28,593 MWh. The trigeneration plant covered 88% of the electricity demand and 98% of the thermal demand, generating significant energy and economic savings.
