To optimize energy, environmental, and economic performance, SOMAFEL has continued its plan to renovate the structures and equipment of its Central Rail Facility in Oliveirinha. Five improvement measures are planned, namely:
Replacement of existing window frames with new ones and improvement of the solar characteristics of the glass;
Replacement of luminaires with LEDs;
Replacement of air conditioning systems with semi-centralized systems;
Replacement of the currently installed equipment, compressor, with another one with higher energy efficiency;
Increase in energy production capacity through the installation of a photovoltaic solar system connected to the electricity grid.
This investment is currently underway and is being made under the PRR – Support for the Renovation and Increase of Energy Performance of Service Buildings. With this measure, a reduction in primary energy consumption of over 90% is expected.
