P3’s 32,000 m² logistics facility in Wilhelmshaven, Germany, completed in 2024, demonstrates that low-emissions logistics buildings are achievable even in cold northern climates. The fully electrified building eliminates on-site fossil fuels, relying entirely on air-source heat pumps that deliver 100% of heating demand. Based on EPC calculations, 82% of the heat energy is drawn directly from the surrounding environment, significantly reducing electricity consumption compared to conventional systems.
A high-performance envelope with exceptional airtightness (n₅₀ = 0.16 h-1) dramatically reduces energy demand. As a result, the building achieves a very low calculated primary energy demand of 23.7 kWh/m² per year, well below the German GEG reference value of 67.2 kWh/m², and operationalgreenhouse gas emissions of 7.37 kg CO₂eq/m² per year.
