As the largest, most beautiful and, above all, most spectacular shopping center in Carinthia, we show responsibility for people, the region and the environment – today and for future generations. ATRIO has therefore consistently focused on energy efficiency, proactive climate protection, alternative energy sources and sustainable mobility for many years. Our operator SES Spar European Shopping Centers has clear climate targets that will be implemented by 2050 at the latest.
With 2,000 extra wide free parking spaces at ATRIO Villach, you are guaranteed to find a suitable one for you! You can charge electric cars during your stay in the shopping center at our e-charging station on the parking deck. There is a height restriction of 2m on the parking deck and in the underground car park. There is also plenty of covered bicycle parking. In addition, the shopping center is easily accessible by public transport – you will find a stop in the immediate vicinity of the main entrance.
ATRIO works with a special energy management system in which energy consumption is continuously analyzed and measures are implemented to save energy and increase energy efficiency.
652 bored piles are used as energy piles for heating and cooling. The ATRIO has won many international awards. Among other things, due to the planning and construction designed for sustainability as well as the energy and emission-saving use of resources. 652 energy poles enable savings of approx. 500 tons of CO₂ per year.
Geothermal energy is used efficiently and in an environmentally friendly manner all year round: in winter, geothermal energy is used for heating using a heat pump, and in summer for building cooling using chillers. The energy piles result in a number of advantages, such as the reduction in operating costs, independence from fossil fuels and high cost-effectiveness.
The retailers, restaurateurs and service providers in the center name are also responsible for a variety of activities for a sustainable future.
Not only the unique architecture, but also the exemplary sustainability of the entire project caused a sensation and a large number of international awards. 652 bored piles are used as energy piles for heating and cooling. The waste heat is sent back into the ground and stored. Almost half of the energy required by the ATRIO is obtained in this way. 2,000 extra-wide free parking spaces and numerous service offers that guarantee stress-free shopping are also exceptional. The ATRIO is operated by SES Spar European Shopping Centers, the largest developer and operator of shopping centers in Austria and Slovenia.
