The agri-food sector is under pressure to enhance energy efficiency due to rising energy costs, tighter environmental regulations, and increased sustainability demands. For this purpose, an analysis of an industrial complex of olive processing was deeply analyzed in order to improve its energetic behavior through eco-design. A detailed Building Information Modeling (BIM) model was created using Autodesk REVIT 2025, integrating geometry, materials, systems, and operating conditions. The model was georeferenced with climatic data and site topographic information, enabling a comprehensive energy performance simulation via the Insight engine. The study revealed critical issues, including approximately 25% electrical energy loss from temperature drops in cold rooms and reliance on diesel oil for high-temperature pasteurization processes. Proposed solutions include improving thermal isolation in cold rooms, adding shading to sun-exposed facades, replacing diesel boilers with biomass boilers fueled by industry waste (such as olive pits), and exploring biomass gasification technologies. Implementing these measures could reduce overall energy consumption by up to 30%, delivering substantial annual economic savings while strengthening the industry's commitment to environmental sustainability.

摘要

The agri-food sector is under pressure to enhance energy efficiency due to rising energy costs, tighter environmental regulations, and increased sustainability demands. For this purpose, an analysis of an industrial complex of olive processing was deeply analyzed in order to improve its energetic behavior through eco-design. A detailed Building Information Modeling (BIM) model was created using Autodesk REVIT 2025, integrating geometry, materials, systems, and operating conditions. The model was georeferenced with climatic data and site topographic information, enabling a comprehensive energy performance simulation via the Insight engine. The study revealed critical issues, including approximately 25% electrical energy loss from temperature drops in cold rooms and reliance on diesel oil for high-temperature pasteurization processes. Proposed solutions include improving thermal isolation in cold rooms, adding shading to sun-exposed facades, replacing diesel boilers with biomass boilers fueled by industry waste (such as olive pits), and exploring biomass gasification technologies. Implementing these measures could reduce overall energy consumption by up to 30%, delivering substantial annual economic savings while strengthening the industry's commitment to environmental sustainability.
