Shimano 's new headquarters in Eindhoven is an example of how companies can respond to the challenges of grid congestion. Although the large-scale consumption connection will not be available for several years, Shimano has taken the step towards a fully electric building. This offers not only a sustainable solution but also a future-proof building that is ready for the energy transition.
The project, realized at the H2O Business Park , is the result of a collaboration between Shimano and Batenburg Techniek. Through extensive energy simulation, the building's complete energy profile was mapped out. This led to the selection of a ground-source heat pump, solar panels, and battery storage. These elements have all been integrated into the Batenburg Nexus energy management system.
The latter provides Shimano with continuous insight into their energy usage and ensures that energy is always available when needed. As a result, the company avoids overloading and gains greater control over energy flows. This innovative approach is beneficial not only to the organization but also to the surrounding environment, ensuring the building is well prepared for the future.
This project is an example of how technology and sustainability can go hand in hand, and how companies like Shimano can prepare for the challenges of tomorrow.
