There's a distinction in the considered building types between versions. In Version 1, the building type "Industrial Distribution Warehouse" existed, whereas in Version 2, two new types were introduced: "Industrial, Distribution Warehouse Cold" and "Industrial, Distribution Warehouse Warm."
Industrial – Distribution Warehouse Warm: This refers to a building typically situated in an open space, often standalone and located adjacent to car parks or truck loading areas. These warehouses function as shipping hubs, receiving and temporarily storing items before they are loaded onto trucks for distribution elsewhere. They commonly take the form of large halls and are found on the outskirts of cities.
Industrial – Distribution Warehouse Cooled: This type pertains to buildings similarly situated in open spaces, often standalone and positioned near car parks or truck loading areas, serving as shipping hubs. Operators of cold storage warehouses and refrigerated distribution centers rely on precise temperature control to maintain product quality and shelf life. These facilities tend to have higher energy consumption due to the need for cooling large open spaces, cold rooms, and low-temperature environments.
Industrial building targets in the platform - updates (March 2024):
In CRREM v2, targets are exclusively provided for the following building types:
CRREM v2
CDM
Industrial Distribution Warehouse Cold: Corresponds to Industrial, Refrigerated Warehouse
Industrial Distribution Warehouse Warm: Corresponds to Industrial, Non-refrigerated Warehouse
Therefore, if a user adds a building with a different type, the energy and carbon targets will not be displayed on the charts.In CRREM v1, targets were available for the following building types:
CRREM v1
CDM
Industrial Distribution Warehouse
Industrial
Industrial Distribution Warehouse
Industrial, Refrigerated Warehouse
Industrial, Non-refrigerated Warehouse
The remaining building types from CDM do not align with any CRREM v1 target:
CRREM v1
CDM
None
Industrial, Industrial Park
Industrial, Manufacturing
Industrial, Other
The reason for this discrepancy is that CRREM does not provide targets for these building types. However, if a client requires targets for buildings with these specific types, custom targets can be developed upon request.
