FM Logistic - Illescas Stage 3

FM Logistic Illescas Stage 3 is part of a logistics platform located in the Center of Spain, between Madrid and Toledo. It includes an additional warehouse of 8 075 m² which was delivered in 2021 and the site aims to be a multi-customer logistics center operated by FM Logistic.

These buildings are part of the FM Logistic and NG Concept sustainable development strategy: obtain the LEED® or HQE™ certification for every new logistics site built since 2012.

The main highlights are as follows:

• Energy savings: over 58%
• Water savings: over 57%
• Construction waste: recycled by 84%
• Indoor air quality test on 41 pollutants showing a healthy indoor air

The main strategic aspects which have been implemented for the overall site are listed in detail according to the LEED categories:

Location & Transportation:

• Electric car charging stations and preferred parking spaces for carpooling and green vehicles to promote low-carbon mobility
• Bicycles racks and showers to encourage green mobility

Sustainable sites:

• Open space: high-quality open space is provided for the building users
• Native and low-water demanding plants for the green spaces

Water efficiency:

• Over 46% of water savings (potable water) thanks to low-flow fixtures
• Water meters to track and lower consumption

Energy & Atmosphere:

• Energy savings of over 58% (energy cost) thanks to a high-performance envelope, LED lights, and without heating and cooling systems
• 100% LED lighting: high visual comfort, low energy consumption, and no-mercury content
• Energy meters to track and lower consumption

Materials & Resources:

• Waste dedicated areas to reduce the waste that is generated by building occupants and hauled to and disposed of in landfills
• 84% of construction waste was recycled in 7 material streams
• Whole building life-cycle assessment to know and reduce the building impact on e.g. global warming

Indoor Environmental Quality:

• Smoking is strictly forbidden indoors and only allowed in dedicated areas at a minimum of 8 m from doors, operable windows, and air intakes to prevent exposure to tobacco smoke
• Indoor air quality test on 41 pollutants showing a healthy indoor air
• Carbon dioxide monitoring to promote occupants’ comfort, well-being, and productivity by improving indoor air quality
• Light pollution reduced thanks to the proper selection and location of outdoor light fixtures

With this project, we have tried to implement the highest strategy, adapted to the local context and logistics sector. We are very proud that the project has achieved the LEED Gold® certification.

FM Logistic has now LEED® platforms in Vietnam, Russia, Poland, Romania, Italy, India, and Spain.
