HelloWorld, Schiphol Airport

This fully self-sufficient building uses solar energy and innovative technologies to create an energy-positive working environment.

HelloWorld comprises almost 47,000 m² of high-quality, sustainably designed logistics space at Schiphol Trade Park. The building is fully self-sufficient and uses solar energy and innovative technologies to create an energy-positive working environment. For this project, Delta co-founded the Energie Collectief Schiphol Trade Park, a virtual power grid that shares capacity within the member companies. This energy system 'behind the meter' consists of solar panels, energy storage and, as an extreme, 'fallback' generators. The collaboration in the collective ensures that companies without such a system can use surplus energy at HelloWorld through the collective. The spaces at HelloWorld can be used flexibly as the units are scalable and can be adapted to the needs of the users. Also, the building is design-for-disassembly, which means; designed in such a way that materials can be recovered and reused 'uncontaminated'. This allows the building to be converted in a circular way in the future.
