You own a shopping center or an administrative building?
You do not have a spaceship (yet), but you are the owner of a building? You have many tenants and each one of them has different habits and needs? You have your own spaces, which you want to manage as efficiently as possible? You have common parts, for which costs are shared? You need a huge amount of energy – for heating, lighting, water and cooling? This makes the energy efficiency of your buildings a key issue – both in terms of operating costs and competitiveness. Then you wish you had a control room with a control console like that of a spaceship. You wish you had a multifunctional center, where you could see everything in real time from one spot and steer your "spaceship" higher and further.
In any case, beyond the metaphor with science fiction, you need a rational use of resources and cost optimization.
In this and similar cases, we, at Veolia Group, leverage many and different innovative solutions (according to the specifics of the individual case), with which we can help you manage all energy resources and improve the energy efficiency in your shopping center. We have called Hubgrage our "space" control console, with which you can steer your “spaceship”, although on Earth.

Why is energy efficiency important?
Energy efficiency is the most cost-effective way of reducing energy consumption and costs. It is the first step in the crucial transition to clean energy, as it provides fast and profitable opportunities for reducing the carbon footprint. And, we know that ecological requirements and regulations for the companies are tightening.
In this respect, the responsibility of the large consumers such as shopping centers is significant, and customers’ and society’s expectations are growing. With Veolia as a company with long experience in optimized resource management, we can fulfill together our obligation to be socially responsible: to implement the planet's ecological transformation and to slow down the irreversible climate change.
Effect on the global economy
Energy efficiency is the most serious measure in the plan of the Council of the European Union for net zero emissions by 2050. Moreover, most of the efficiency measures lead to cost savings for the customers, reduction of the energy bills, and contribute to the mitigation of the effects of unexpected price spikes.
