Abstract [en]

As more companies strive for net-zero emissions, mitigating indirect greenhouse gasemissions embedded in value chains—especially in logistics activities—has become a critical priority.In the European logistics sector, sustainability and energy efficiency are receiving growing attention,given the sector’s intersectional role in both transportation and construction. This transition towardlow-carbon logistics design not only reduces carbon emissions but also yields financial benefits,including operational cost savings and new market opportunities. This study examines the impactof passive design strategies and low-carbon technologies in a Swedish logistics center, assessedusing the low-carbon design criteria from the BREEAM International standard, version 6. Thefindings show that passive energy-efficient measures, such as the installation of 47 skylights fornatural daylighting, reduced light power density in accordance with AHSHARE 90.1-2019 and theintegration of free night flushing, contribute to a 23% reduction in total energy consumption. Inaddition, the integration of 600 PV panels and 480 batteries with a capacity of 268 ampere-hours and13.5 kWh storage, operating at 50 volts, delivers a further 56% reduction in carbon emissions. Byoptimizing the interaction between passive design and active low-carbon technologies, this researchpresents a comprehensive feasibility analysis that promotes sustainable logistics practices whileensuring a future-proof, low-carbon operational model.
