Passaic Logistics Center Passaic, USA

When referring to the transformation of a derelict brownfield site into an ultramodern logistics campus providing job opportunities to many unemployed local people, the Passaic City Council President (New Jersey) says: “The dream is now reality”. To make this dream come true, IDI Logistics first had to remediate large quantities of industrial pollutants accumulated in the

89 soil since the 19th century. The application of demanding and advanced construction processes has made it possible to create nothing less than a demonstrator for tomorrow’s logistics. Flooded with natural daylight, this Energy Efficiency Class A warehouse is roofed using the TPO R30 single ply membrane system to limit the heat island effect. Insulated loading bay doors and a highvolume, low-speed (HVLS) ventilation system will soon be complemented by enough solar panels to meet 80% of site energy demand. Together, all these features achieve an environmental rating and working conditions unprecedented in the logistics industry.

That’s the Walkability® Score for this new logistics hub; an extremely rare achievement for any industrial building.
