Energy efficient design in shopping centres — A pathway towards lower energy consumption energy demand scenario modelling until 2030 for the shopping centre building stock in France and Poland

The European shopping centre building stock can provide a high energy saving potential while implementing energy efficient design measures. Today's shopping centre gross leasable area is 112.1 million m2, which makes up approximately 6.7% of the total wholesale and retail building floor area in the EU-28 and Norway in 2013. This building stock is expected to growth especially in the emerging markets. Thus, we analyse the energy saving potential in shopping centres in two selected countries by implementing energy efficiency measures. Based on shopping centre market data and key energy figures, scenarios of the energy consumption are being calculated until 2030.
