NEW GALEAZZI HOSPITAL
#thefuturethatheals The new Galeazzi-Sant’Ambrogio IRCCS (research) Hospital was built inside Rho Fiera’s MIND area (Milano Innovation District). The complex represents a model for Italy’s future hospitals, and is founded on the tight integration between care, research and training. Numbers are impressive: 180.000 sqm of modern architectural concepts; 94 mt height (among Europe’s 8 tallest hospitals, and the world’s 75 tallest), 16 floors above ground; 30.000 sqm parking space and more than 600 beds. Rethink Energy developed the new, advanced management and consumption-forecast system for the hospital’s heating/cooling plant. The control system can precisely forecast the energy consumption and select the most convenient sources, based on actual hourly cost acquired in a dynamic mode. Also, the system can monitor energy production units to compare actual performance with that declared by the supplier of the equipment. The plant can supply 12MW in cooling and 8MW in heating with steam boilers, centrifugal compressor cooling units, heat recovery heat-pumps, district heating, steam cogeneration. The new hospital was built making the best use of the most advanced solutions in terms of energy savings and environmental sustainability, reducing waste and noise-pollution levels to an absolute minimum. The hospital can apply for Gold V4 LEED certification for environmental sustainability also thanks to Rethink Energy’s mindful planning and design.

MILANORD2
#newfreetime Milanord2 is a new shopping center of approx. 150.000 sqm, employing more than 6.000 staff, on the outskirts of Milan. It stands at the intersection of the city’s M1 and M5 underground lines. This mall is among the most innovative on the European scene: in addition to the 350 shops, it includes several leisure areas (sports, theme areas such as the pirate ship or the jungle, water games for children and Milan’s first “surfer wave” simulator) and a 41.000 sqm piazza (called Skyplaza) that will host games, concerts and other outdoor and indoor events. Rethink Energy designed a condensation ring to serve the commercial units and the sub-stations supplying fluids for ambient-air treatment. It uses geothermal sources and the existing district heating grid. The total cooling power is approx 30 MW while the heating power is 12 MW. Rethink Energy was in charge of the mechanical, energy, electric and special systems’ design, and the MEP coordination and project management, combining heat pump, geothermy, teleheating and waterloop technologies.

SESTO SAN GIOVANNI NEW RAILWAY STATION
#archistars Year:2022 The works at Sesto San Giovanni’s new railway station represent the first step of MilanoSesto, an urban regeneration project involving the rehabilitation of former industrial sites in Italy (and mostly Europe). It will transform an area of 1.5 Million sqm, redesigning the entire urban layout of the city and contributing to redefine the new boundaries of the Milan metropolitan area. The project was developed by Renzo Piano Building Workshop and Ottavio Di Blasi & Partners. The masterplan provides for the construction of a steel and glass bridge above the existing railway line to connect the two parts of the city that were divided by the tracks: Piazza 1° Maggio and the former Falck industrial area. The new station will host businesses, bars and services for travellers and visitors. The pedestrian bridge was designed according to sustainability standards: the great glass roof will be fitted with a 110 by 28 m photovoltaic cap that should supply enough energy to cover the station’s entire electricity needs. For this futuristic and sustainable project, Rethink Energy was in charge of the MEP works direction.

ENRICO FERMI SCHOOL
@sustainableschool Enrico Fermi secondary school is part of the “Vasco Pratolini” Institute of Scandicci. Several extension, restyling and maintenance works have been carried out over the years, one of which led to the creation of new multimedia classrooms, DADA (Didactics for Learning Environments) classrooms and special classrooms such as carpentry and pottery laboratories. Rethink Energy designed the mechanical, electric and special installations of the school, using multiple heat pump systems tha ensure maximum flexibility while minimising consumption. Thanks to these improvements, the school obtained LEED sustainability for buildings certification. Place:Scandicci Type:School Client:Comune di Scandicci Year:2022-2023 Surface in sqm:4.000

#urbanbusiness Deutsche Bank acquired the building situated at via Vittor Pisani 19 for 32 million euros through Dws group Gmbh. An entire office block in the new business district of Porta Nuova, on the main axis connecting downtown Milan to Central Station. Today this area is home to many national and multination companies and represents an ideal context for business. For the renovation and the conservative rehabilitation of the building, Rethink Energy developed the mechanical systems through heat pumps using ground water, supported by air-cooled generators and a chilled beams system.

PALAZZO MAGENTA
#luxuryliving Milan’s elegance has a new name: Palazzo Magenta, a building under complete renovation, in which class and refinement are the expression of a new lifestyle. Located in one of Milan’s most culturally, and historically, relevant areas, it has the incomparable flair of the neoclassic style brought back to its original glory thanks to innovative techniques and obsessive attention to every minute detail. Palazzo Magenta tells a story, and represents History as the expression of timeless elegance and refinement. It goes beyond facade elegance as, just past the front gate, one enters a refined courtyard overlooked by the spacious loggias of the apartments. A bright, open and modern space that blends harmoniously with the neoclassic aesthetics of the buildings. This part of town is home to some of the world’s most important cultural venues, in a street that lies at the heart of a city with two souls: on one hand it is the quintessential expression of Art, with its museums, its churches, the prestigious period buildings, and the ancient Roman remnants; on the other hand is tells the story of Milan’s liveliness, with its bistros, its historic businesses and shops that still maintain their true Milanese nature. A timeless charm that fascinates and ravishes its visitors. Place:Milan Type:Residential Client:Investire Immobiliare Sgr Year:2022-ongoing Surface in sqm:4.000
