Energy hubs

We see parking and mobility buildings as more than places to store vehicles - they are the energy hubs of the future and important tools in the transition to a resilient energy system and sustainable society.

Parking and mobility hubs bring together a large number of electric cars, making them an active and important part of the local energy system. With the right planning and design, parking facilities can contribute to both a more stable electricity grid and more efficient energy use.

Combining local energy production - mainly in the form of solar cells but also wind power where the conditions exist - with building batteries creates opportunities to store and control energy throughout the day. This makes it possible to cut power peaks, even out the load and optimize the use of electricity in the electricity grid. In this context, electric vehicles are not just users of energy, but a resource that can interact with the building and the energy system.

FOJAB has good experience of integrating the energy issue into the design. Architecture, technology and function interact in robust, future-proof facilities.
