Energy Certification of Aircraft Maintenance Base and other Facilities

Year : 2013 – 2014 – 2015

Client : Athens International Airport

Smart Engineering has performed energy certification of Aircraft Maintenance Bases at Athens International Airport, in order to establish current energy consumption of the building followed by proposals to reduce energy consumption and upgrade the facility. All works where performed in close cooperation with the Technical Services of Athens International Airport and Aegean Airlines.

Works included detailed survey of the building and the mechanical and electrical installations, examination of current energy consumption, examination of structural elements so as to establish insulating properties, modeling of the installation with dedicated software and calculation of current energy consumption.

New Cosmetics Plant

Year : 2011-2013

Owner : APIVITA COSMETICS

The adaptation of all designs and construction of the new plant of APIVITA Cosmetics was supervised by our firm. Located at the Industrial Park of Markopoulon, Athens Greece,  the new facilities include:   cosmetics production (FDA),  honey packaging, laboratories – clean rooms, offices, training centers, dining facilities SPA, Assembly areas. The Structure spans five levels, two basements, three floors, total building area 6.830 τ.μ. (61500 sq.ft).

  • Specifications

    Design Specifications where selected based on the following criteria:

    • Aesthetics – Minimal Design
    • Glass surfaces
    • Natural Lighting and Air circulation
    • Use of natural resources
    • Sustainable Design (LEED certified)
    • Reduction of Environmental Impact of the Building to the surrounding area.
    • Thermal and Visual Comfort

    For the use of Natural Resources the following where utilized :

    1. Geoexchange – Heating and Cooling
    2. Solar Panels
    3. Storm-Water collection for Irrigation
    4. Waste-Water treatment Plant
    5. Planted Roofs
    6. Extensive Landscaping and Planting of Meditteranean Plants.
  • Sustainable Design

    The basis of the Architectural design was to set-up a line of defence of the Building against external environmental factors.

    The main atrium joined by the four storey internal glass facade aid in bringing sunlight to the inside of the building. During Winter air inside the building is heated by sunlight whilst during the Summer the same atrium-faced combo serves as a funnel to dissipate all heated air upwards with proper automatically operated openings at the top of the installation.Additional cooling is achieved during Summer through the use of planted roofs.

    A similar but smaller atrium is used to bring in sunlight for the offices and laboratories.

    At the second floor, a central open roof garden space was created, shielded by winds but allowing office users to be in constant contact with open space – natural light and air.

     

  • Materials Used
