Total land area: 21,301 m2.
Fiber optics throughout the project.
Security and technology.
Its location allows for an exhibition of more than 75,000 brand vehicles daily.
District Cooling System, the air conditioning system is based on ice water + ice shelves which
contributes considerably to save energy.
Environmental Responsibility
District Cooling System (Central District cooling ice bank).
The air conditioning is dual at Cedral (Water Ice Frost & Banks), allows the use of energy
efficiently which reduces operating cost, causes less impact on the environment and provides
continuity in case of power failure.
Enhanced Energy Savings:
The air conditioning is usually the biggest consumer during peak hours, it can represent up to
60% of electricity consumption in the hours an office center has the highest costs of electricity.
Cedral consumes the most energy during the night, in which power generation is based on
renewable energy.


Less environmental impact:
The contribution to the environment by not consuming energy from fossil fuels is condensed into
the following results:
-20-30% reduction in the amount of thermal energy plants must consume to supply the building.
-Can reduce NOx emissions up to 56%
-CO2 greenhouse gas could fall to 40%
Saving Electricity:
The system reduces the electricity consumption in peak periods in which the composition of
electricity generation has a high percentage of non-renewable sources (fossil fuels).
The ice shelves allow the transfer of the electricity consumption of air-conditioning system of the
evening peak period. This reduces operating costs.
If the power fails, the system operates normally with the cold storage of ice shelves.
Storage:
Cedral Corporate Center, takes its name from the set of Cedros that exist in the property which
makes this project. All these trees were kept as a way to preserve the endemic species.
