High quality industrial developments, turn-key solutions all close to your every need.
AKNO Energy has been at the fore front of the technological development of energy efficient solutions, as it has always been extremely attentive to its corporate social responsibility. In fact, AKNO Energy promotes LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) by operating in a sustainable manner, with low-environmental impact.
AKNO is a pioneer in developing eco-friendly technologies and setting the standard for the industry. The company’s sustainability initiatives contribute to a greener world: we believe that growing means improving the environment and the planet. We are confident that the reduction in the environmental footprint of our buildings, through optimized use of energy, water and waste, will have a positive effect on future financial performance. AKNO Energy focuses its attention on balanced relationship between the building and its surroundings.
Photovoltaic systems
Innovative solar panels with certified quality. Polycrystalline modules perform better at high temperatures than mono-crystalline modules, producing more electricity. Ideal in situations and environments of strong and irregular sunlight, or in an environment with strong pollution. They exhibit a 12-14% efficiency rate.
Window frames with thermal breaks
The reduction of heat loss, a goal of a sustainable architectural design, includes windows.
Similarly to the opaque parts of the building envelope, window frames must be designed, manufactured and installed in order to be efficient and reduce heat loss.
Biogas
AKNO Biogas plants work by using anaerobic digestion to produce clean energy from waste materials that would otherwise not be used by any other industry. In the digester, without oxygen, specialised enzymes and bacteria are activated. They then ferment the biomass, resulting in the production of biogas. Basically, the production of energy from waste biomass helps the fight against climate change.
Rainwater recovery
The systems are constructed simply. The maintenance is focused on one or more tanks for harvesting rainwater, the filter and its components clean the rainwater before it enters the tank and pumping system. A rainwater recovery system can guarantee a savings of over 50% on your bill and benefits the environment by reducing demand per capita for drinking water requirements.
Energy efficient light bulbs
Efficient and energy smart: all our warehouses have energy-saving light bulbs, motion detectors and darkness sensors. AKNO Energy strongly believes in eco-green, by minimizing levels of carbon emissions. AKNO is the messenger of a green idea, by supporting the environment with efficient energy construction choices that benefit the welfare of all.
Illumination equipment
Thanks to the extensive use of skylights and translucent dome roofs, AKNO Energy designs buildings where natural light plays a key role.
Plastic free
Finally, the AKNO Group has embraced the plastic-free philosophy by eliminating disposable materials and plastic water bottles from all offices and providing thermal water bottles and dispensers for use by employees and visitors.
