zeroCO2 XL indoor for 3 condos in Milan

Formed from the merger of three historic cooperatives, Abitare Soc. Coop. of Milan has been committed to providing quality housing solutions and dedicated services to its more than 8,200 members for more than a century.

In addition to the rental of living space, Abitare Coop. is committed to maintaining and continually improving the standards of safety, cleanliness and maintenance of residential complexes, ensuring its residents a living environment of the highest quality.

Inverter: 1 Power Control System of 60 kW
Storage: 1 zeroCO2 XL BESS cabinets (total storage of 125 kWh)

Demand and Functionality of Storage

The challenge was to manage peak energy consumption due to common loads-such as common area lighting, elevators, and geothermal heating-along with the growing energy needs for the 37 electric vehicle charging stations. 

The centralized storage system allows the three apartment buildings to optimize self-consumption by storing energy during periods of lower demand and then distributing it at peak times, thus reducing grid dependence and overall energy costs.

Benefits for the Cooperative

The introduction of the 60kW / 125 kWh storage system has transformed the "Abitare Coop" condominiums into a model of energy efficiency and sustainability. The benefits are tangible: reduced bill costs, more stable energy supply, and a significant step toward energy self-sufficiency.

This system not only improves the energy balance of apartment buildings but also the quality of life for residents, underscoring "Abitare Coop's" commitment to environmentally friendly and technologically advanced housing solutions.
