The Client

PUMA, a leading global casualwear and sportswear brand, is committed to sustainability as a part of its corporate philosophy. PUMA wanted to build a showroom which is ‘beyond green’ and aspired for a Net Zero Energy Showroom.

The Challenge

This ambitious target was coupled with the universal rule of a retailer ensuring comfort of shoppers with no compromise on the global standards of store atmosphere, air quality, ambience, lighting level, thermal comfort, etc., within limited space leveraging innovation.

The Solution

• Air-conditioners and heaters replaced by Earth Air Tunnel (EAT) system which provided Thermal Comfort with less energy consumption.
• Conventional re-circulating method replaced by 100% fresh air system for odour-free improved consumer experience
• Completely natural daylighting provided during the day with zero glare
• Integration of Solar PV Panels done uniquely for use of Renewable Energy.

The Benefits

• Net Zero Energy showroom status achieved without using power from the grid.
• Thermal Comfort of 28oC against 36oC in summer, and 22oC against 14oC in winter achieved without the use of air-conditioners or heaters.
• 4 times lesser CO level achieved than conventional air-conditioned space.
