Daylight utilisation and energy efficiency in the logistics centre
A comprehensive solution for daylight utilisation and energy efficiency was implemented as part of the construction project for the Rhenus Logistics logistics centre in Hoppegarten. The architecturally sophisticated project included the use of the LAMILUX Continuous Rooflight S, which was successfully integrated into the steel framework of the roof.

Rhenus Logistics stands for customised solutions along the entire supply chain and supports its customers worldwide in optimising procurement, production and distribution. With a focus on innovation and sustainability, the company is also looking to the future at its logistics centre in Hoppegarten: State-of-the-art technologies such as the LAMILUX Continuous-row lighting S-System and an integrated photovoltaic system have been successfully implemented here.
Aesthetic daylight solution despite complex truss structure
The steel framework, which runs partly above the roof, presented a particular challenge in terms of planning and construction. However, the LAMILUX Continuous Rooflight S made it possible to elegantly build over this framework and at the same time integrate it into the roof structure. This flexible and functional solution not only ensures optimum daylight illumination of the logistics hall, but also contributes to the aesthetic enhancement of the building.

Integrated photovoltaic solution for sustainable electricity utilisation
An additional highlight of the project is the integration of a photovoltaic system, which was specially designed for this logistics centre. The LAMILUX Continuous Rooflight S was combined with a photovoltaic solution consisting of 660 modules and achieving a total output of 170 kWp. The electricity generated is utilised efficiently: Some of it is consumed directly on site, while surplus electricity is fed into the local power grid and sold on the electricity exchange. This sustainable solution not only supports the building's energy efficiency, but also helps to reduce operating costs and environmental impact.
