Implementing Best Practices at E-Business Park in Brazil

E-Business Park was a post-World War II industrial park in São Paulo that was transformed into an environmentally friendly, mixed-use development with office, dining and event space. Cushman & Wakefield has led the 1.73 million-square-foot park’s energy efficiency initiatives, including transitioning to LED lighting, converting to electric operation tools, designing a solar power plant, and retrofitting the HVAC system. In 2021, energy saving measures reduced energy expenses by approximately 25%. Cushman & Wakefield has also helped reduce the industrial park’s water and waste consumption. The complex achieved savings by reusing water, inspecting and renewing water pipes, and investing in pumping technologies and hydraulic devices. Additionally, the park now has a waste segregation system and a recycling center and has deployed a composter project.

> The Betterware global headquarters was among the first sites in Mexico City to

achieve Fitwel certification. The building’s features include rest and recreation areas, a restorative garden, outdoor fitness areas and office furniture that supports activeness and wellbeing.
