From its planification, sustainable energy management has been at the heart of the development. A field of 96 geothermal probes, combined with two heat pumps, allows the capture of underground heat to supply the buildings with energy. Additionally, the area is connected to the district heating network to meet the demand for domestic hot water.

Green electricity production is ensured by 2000 m² of photovoltaic panels on the roofs. Each year, this system generates more than 420 000 kWh of solar energy, consumed directly on-site through a Self-Consumption Community (SCC).

The buildings have been constructed with a highly insulated facade and sustainable materials. The mechanical ventilation with heat recovery ensures excellent indoor air quality.

All buildings in Central Malley are Minergie-P-ECO certified, the most demanding standard in terms of energy efficiency and material health. At the neighbourhood level, the SNBS Quartier label will confirm a comprehensive approach designed for future generations.

Central Malley thus positions itself as an exemplary project: innovative urban planning combining comfort, sustainability, and aesthetics. And by the way: It’s as well an opportunity for businesses and organizations seeking spaces aligned with ESG standards and best practices in sustainable development.
