HOOFDDORP, the Netherlands, April 19, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Delta, a global leader in power and thermal management solutions, announced today it has completed the renovation and upgrade of its headquarters (HQs) office for the Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) region into a green building capable of achieving up to 45% expected annual energy savings, certified as a BREEAM(1) sustainable facility with "Very Good" rating by the Dutch Green Building Council, and boasting a Dutch "A-class Building" energy label.
Transforming the 30-year-old existing office building into a sustainable working environment, the implementation of a wide range of technologies including the Building Management & Control System (BMCS), the Delta Energy Online building energy management system, and energy-saving solutions such as PV inverters, energy storage, EV chargers, and converters for peak shaving, all demonstrate Delta's unrivalled expertise in helping customers retrofit their existing buildings into highly sustainable, efficient and comfortable facilities.
Mr. Jackie Chang, President & General Manager of Delta EMEA, said, "Delta is committed to empowering the low-carbon economy through the development of intelligent energy-saving technologies. Delta has been promoting the green building concept for more than a decade; by retrofitting EMEA HQs into a green building, Delta just contributed to the creation of its 24th green building around the globe. We echo the efforts of the Dutch government in making existing buildings greener, instead of just constructing new buildings. The granting of the BREEAM certification further validates our profile as a total solutions provider. This is a memorable way to celebrate Delta's 30 years of operations in EMEA with all our stakeholders."
"The BREEAM certificate is an independent proof of the sustainability and 'green' qualities of a building. The fact that the renovated Delta Electronics EMEA headquarters building in Hoofddorp has been awarded a 'very good' BREEAM rating, demonstrates that it is possible to transform existing buildings into a highly sustainable ones. Given the focus of the Haarlemmermeer area on sustainability and circular architecture, this building is an excellent example of what can be done in this area and should serve as an inspiration to other building owners in the Netherlands", said Annemarie van Doorn, General Manager of the Dutch Green Building Council.
