Puma has opened its first sustainable store in Indiranagar, Bangalore. The store is locally developed, sourced out of India, and incorporates a number of revolutionary design elements to ensure that it meets the highest criteria for sustainability. The store is spread over 5000 sq. ft and incorporates the elements of sustainability through innovative design, mechanical and electrical installations, and material selections.
While the lower levels will function as a retail area, The closed and open surface layout of the building is designed for optimal daylight usage & heat insulation, and the recessed first & second floor volume generates a stack-effect for natural cooling. The highly insulated building shell, Earth Air Tunnel for pre-cooling of the fresh air supply and roof extractors optimize the stack-effect, thus allowing for AC free cooling. The store ensures customer comfort with no extra energy consumption. The store will retail a range of merchandise made from organic (pesticide-free) cotton as well as PUMA’s Wilderness Collection.
