while the rest of the buildings will be finished by December.
As always, the speed of the work goes hand in hand with
quality and innovation. All these works will continue to
make Lamborghini CO2 neutral and, for the first time
in Italy, a LEED-certified industrial building will be
constructed.
All new buildings will be connected to the centralized
Energy Hub. Energy production will be largely covered
by a new trigeneration system. The energy produced in
the Energy Hub will be distributed and carried to the new
buildings by an underground district heating system, which
will reach dedicated plant rooms.
The buildings will all be energy class A according to the
Emilia Romagna region’s energy classification. The outer
structure of the building window surface has been designed
to achieve the highest possible energy performance
through the use of a very high performance polycarbonate
facade system. All lighting, including for industrial areas,
uses very high efficiency LED lights.
