LEEDLEED Certification | Energy efficiency and solar
Gulfstream 550K in Mexicali: 10 MW of solar panels across 50,000 m² (rooftop + carports), 20 MW installed electrical capacity, 50% clean solar energy. 3,200 tons of minimum-consumption A/C. These are the real results of the LEED Energy & Atmosphere category executed by Baumex on the largest industrial building in the city.

Optimize the energy profile of your Mexicali industrial building from the conceptual phase. Baumex coordinates three strategies with energy modeling specific to the site's climate conditions: the thermal envelope reduces cooling load (R-19 walls, R-30 roof), high-bay LED lighting with occupancy controls reduces baseline electrical demand, and the rooftop photovoltaic system generates the energy the building no longer wastes.
The Gulfstream 550K building documents the results: 10 MW of solar panels distributed across 20,000 m² of rooftop and 30,000 m² of parking carports. 20 MW total installed electrical capacity. 42 minimum-consumption air handling units with 90% condensation water recovery reused in cooling towers. FM Global certification across the entire envelope.
Scale your solar generation capacity in Mexicali. With over 5,000 m² of south-facing rooftop, the photovoltaic potential of an industrial building in this region is exceptional — every kWh generated on-site reduces dependence on the CFE grid and earns credits in the LEED Renewable Energy category. Baumex manages the full integration: structure prepared for panel loads, electrical installation properly sized, and grid connection.
Maximize Energy & Atmosphere credits in your Mexicali industrial building. With a calibrated envelope, efficient lighting, and rooftop solar panels, Baumex has demonstrated 35-50% savings in the largest building in the city. Request a consultation for your project.
