Abstract [en]

Low-carbon warehousing plays a special unique role in mitigating carbon emissions across the building and logistics sectors. Operating as intersectoral players, large warehouses have significant influence over energy consumption and subsequent carbon dioxide emissions within the supply chain. This study investigates the mutual relationship between passive design optimization and on-site implementation of photovoltaic (PV) systems coupled with battery implementation to address this challenge. By leveraging these approaches, it becomes possible to offset energy demand and associated CO2 emissions effectively. Specifically, the study explores the potential synergy between passive design techniques and PV-battery integration within a Swedish logistics centre, utilizing assessment criteria aligned with the BREEAM International Version 6.0 ENE 04: Low Carbon Design Indicator. Through comprehensive analysis, the study demonstrates that: • 20% total energy savings from passive energy efficient measures that include 1) the implementation of 47 skylights; 2) lower down the light power density in the warehouse in accordance with AHSHARE 90.1-2019; 3) add night flushing AHU with new control for free cooling during summertime. • extra 56% total carbon emission savings from active energy efficient measures that include 1) 600 PV AC panel’s installation; and 2) 480 batteries implementations with a capacity of 268 ampere-hours and storage capacity of 13.5 kWh operating at a voltage of 50 volts. Regarding the future work beyond the current study scope, it is promising to further explore natural ventilation opportunity during summer daytime for both overheating mitigation and cooling load reduction, while the replacement of skylights with the modular solar tunnels to reduce unnecessary heating losses during winter days. Parallelly in low carbon technology aspect there is a significant opportunity to leverage excess PV production during transition seasons to facilitate the deployment of electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure in Sweden. Therefore, logistic centres or warehouses can have extra opportunity to serve as destinations where electric trucks can recharge their batteries during loading/unloading activities or when vehicles are not in operation. A more holistic understanding of the carbon impact, include the analysis of embodied carbon emissions from the manufacturing and installation phases of passive design measures, PV systems, and batteries. This would involve conducting a comprehensive life cycle assessment (LCA). It is believed that adopting green warehousing practices not only serves to reduce considerable carbon emissions but also yields tangible cost savings as its intersectoral player role. Moreover, such initiatives align with corporate environmental responsibility objectives, fostering sustainability within the manufacturing and logistics sectors.
