TÜV AUSTRIA certified energy management system

In 2019, SES Spar European Shopping Centers already introduced an energy management system compliant with EN ISO 50001:2018 for the Austrian shopping centers. It has now been successfully re-certified by TÜV AUSTRIA. At the same time, SES was able to expand this energy management system to all SES-shopping-malls in Slovenia and Italy and received TÜV AUSTRIA-certification for the malls in three states.

Mobility and accessibility

The whole world is talking about saving energy and protecting the environment. As a popular meeting place in the region, FISCHAPARK is constantly improving its highway accessibility and parking options and would like to offer its customers and employees not only security but also sustainability.

Sustainable mobility

14 E-charging stations – 100% environmentally sound electricity

A very good connection to the local highway network, bike parking, a direct feeder path to the bike path network and modern infrastructure for electric mobility are an environmentally sound alternative for easy transportation for our customers coming to shop: Approximately 25% of our visitors come to our shopping center using public transportation, on foot or on bicycle to shop.

Public transportation connection

Bus, bike or on foot

Whether with the bus, bike, an e-bike or on foot: FISCHAPARK is very easy to reach and connected to the local network of bike paths as well.

FISCHAPARK has more than 140 bike parking places, 8 covered e-bike charging stations, as well as bike rental from Nextbike. The shopping center is also connected with public transportation (bus line 4) and easy to reach– the bus stop is at Entrance 3 (Post/Dreipappelstraße).

Energy management – with a system

Since 2019, FISCHAPARK has been working with an ISO- certified energy management-system which was re-certified by TÜV Austria in 2022. This means that we constantly analyze our energy consumption and implement measures to save energy and increase energy efficiency. We were thus able to reduce energy consumption in our center by around 30% in the last 3 years.

Free-cooling & optimized cooling

Water reservoir for cooling

The cooling load is covered by a cold water tank in the underground garage. As needed, the night-time air is also used to cool the shopping-mall outside of regular operating hours (free-cooling). All ventilation systems contain technical equipment for heat recovery. The ventilation in the center is also regulated based on visitor frequency.

LED-lighting

Environmentally friendly lighting

Refitting saves electric power and money. Saving energy means protecting the environment. In FISCHAPARK this has, for several years already, included concrete measures such as successive complete refitting to use energy-saving LED-technology in the façade and for interior lighting. The timing of the mall lighting was also optimized and reduced.

Need-based optimized ventilation

Cheap Air

Don´t talk, act! A practical example of environmentally friendly business operation is ventilation coordinated to the number of visitors in the center. It was developed by SES and adjusts the air quality in the mall is perfectly coordinated to the requirements and saves around 2.9 million kilowatt hours of electricity annually.

Man & Society

Helping where help is needed. We accept social responsibility, whether through long-term cooperation with regional associations, through unforgettable events or various charity actions.

Mobility for employees

In order to make conditions on-site even safer and more comfortable, an internal poll was taken at the beginning of the year. The object of this poll is to get a general impression oft he mobility habits of center-employees.

Volkshilfe Austria

FISCHAPARK donated around 4,000 diapers to the charity Volkshilfe Austria in order to support needy families in the region.

“Kinderzukunft” Wiener Neustadt

Many children and youth in Austria are in danger of falling into poverty, and some of them cannot afford a healthy, balance diet. That is the approach of the project “Kinderzukunft Wiener Neustadt”. FISCHAPARK gave the initiative a donor check in the value of 4,000€ before Christmas.

Warm a Soul

For many people, Christmas time is not just an occasion on which to give gifts to family and friends, but also an occasion for donating to charitable causes. This was taken as an occasion for the LOOP agency to start up the initiative “Warm a Soul”. Together with FISCHAPARK and Caritas, LOOP collected jackets and coats during the Christmas season, which were then donated to homeless and needy people by Caritas in Austria.
