Green Warehouse Vision
Building in line with our Green Warehouse Vision
means, among other things, that:
• The building features a NOXOUT roof, which minimises air
pollution by breaking down the NOx particles emitted from
cars and trucks. The sun’s UV radiation then converts the NOx
particles into nitrate, which is washed out when it rains.
• The roof is white rather than the usual black. Consequently, the
roof does not heat up as much when the sun shines, reducing
the warehouse’s total energy consumption during the sunny,
hot summer months.
• The energy used is 100% green.
• The building is insulated with carbon-neutral insulation.
• Moreover, the insulation is twice as effective as standard insulation.
• All beams and panels are made from steel, of which a high
proportion is recycled.
• Rainwater is recycled for truck washes, toilets and cleaning.

CLIMATE & ENVIRONMENT
• Steel panels with carbon-neutral insulation on the outer
walls are used instead of concrete elements.
Environment
When Frode Laursen builds new facilities according to our Green
Warehouse Vision, we want to minimise our impact on the climate
and the environment during the construction phase and in the running of the logistics centre. A large proportion of the CO2e emissions
from our logistics centres stems from their construction. We always
prefer to renovate rather than build new, and if we build new, we do
so according to our Green Warehouse Vision. All future buildings will
be certified according to the DGNB System or BREEAM.
