ARCHITECTURE FOR A CARBON-FREE INDUSTRY IN MOROCCO
Industrial decarbonization is a growing concern worldwide, and Morocco is no exception. The country has put in place initiatives to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and foster a greener economy.
The industrial sector is one of the biggest emitters of greenhouse gases in Morocco, accounting for around 30% of total emissions. It is therefore essential to find solutions to reduce the sector's carbon footprint. However, intelligent architectural design can help reduce this consumption considerably.
Architectural design plays a crucial role in saving energy in industrial projects. Buildings and infrastructures must be designed to minimize their impact on the environment, and energy consumption by meeting business needs. Replacing fossil fuels with renewable energies to limit climate change.
In addition, well thought-out architectural design can reduce construction costs by using less expensive, sustainable materials while maximizing the use of space. Architects can use innovative design techniques to create decarbonized buildings that are more durable, energy-efficient and easier to maintain, which can reduce operating costs over the long term.
In the same vein, Arpio Architects has designed the first decarbonized factory in Morocco, the first aeronautical production initiative in Africa. This unit is mobilizing an investment of 145 million dirhams to build the first decarbonized factory in Morocco, with optimal energy performance and carbon neutrality, which will be operational before the end of August 2023.
In short, architects can design decarbonized buildings that are perfectly tailored to the company's specific needs. This can include features such as efficient storage and distribution systems, production areas optimized to minimize travel, and well-lit, naturally ventilated workspaces. Architects can therefore contribute their expertise to maximizing operational efficiency while minimizing costs, reducing carbon impact, thus helping to improve the overall profitability of the project.
