The investor has spent over VND11 billion in the 212-kWp solar energy system installed on the roof of the parking place of Big C Di An supermarket, which will help save energy and reduce carbon dioxide gas emissions.
This system will be connected to the building’s electricity network, producing around 230,000 kWh of electricity, or 7pct of total energy consumption of the commercial center, and reducing over 150 tons of carbon dioxide each year.
According to the investor, Big C Di An supermarket will save 30pct of energy consumption compared to normal shopping centers. The center uses fluorescent lamps T5, which helps save 35pct of energy compared to fluorescent lamps T8, and takes natural light with see-through glazed doors.
The center also has an energy supervision and management system to control energy consumptions at all units, uncovering shortcomings and facilitating equipment investment decisions.
Located in Binh Duong Province, the project includes a basement, two commercial stories and an office story. In Big C Di An’s area, there is a supermarket covering 5,000 square meters and 40 stalls of fashion, accessory items, cuisine and entertainment zones.
