Sello Shopping Mall – putting energy

savings back into your facility

Energy Performance Contracting increases comfort and yields

substantial savings in operating costs.

The building

Sello is one of Scandinavia’s largest shop-

ping malls. The 102,000 m² complex

houses more than 170 stores, supermar-

kets, restaurants, entertainment attrac-

tions, and even a concert hall and a library.

Located near Helsinki, the mall has 18

million visitors per year. Thanks to excel-

lent connections to public transportation,

30,000 people take the bus or train every

day to shop at Sello.

In 2010, Sello was the first shopping

mall in Europe to receive Gold Level

LEED Certification and to win the

EU’s European Energy Service Project

Award. Siemens helped with Energy

Performance Contracting including

building automation system’s

modernizing, remote analysis and

optimization.

The challenge

Achieving substantial energy savings and

permanently improving the indoor air

quality were the main objectives of this

project. In addition, efforts needed to be

made to ensure that the technical resources

are used as energy-efficiently as possible

at any time, given the significant fluctua-

tion in the number of people present in

the mall throughout the day.

Successfully completing the required

measures was the prerequisite for the

desired LEED (Leadership in Energy and

Environmental Design) Certification, one

of the most recognized standards for

green buildings.
