Between interchangeable stock parts made of 100 percent recycled materials, to a 35 percent more energy efficient design, the PUMA factory outlet center (FOC) model is setting a precedent for LEED Platinum retail design.

From a construction, design, sustainability, and investment perspective, all elements were purposely selected to improve shopability for the end customer and foster a better lifecycle of materials.  Image Courtesy © Cheryl Ramsay & Charles Bergquist This “design by subtraction” concept is based on introducing a mobile fixturization kit of interchangeable stock parts that yield 30 percent lower energy consumption and fewer materials from the lack of partition walls, enabling the entire store to be reconfigured without the use of permanent construction or installations. This prototype for PUMA also provides extreme flexibility for seasonal and inventory needs, as the store can be packed up quickly and relocated to another site with minimal deconstruction and waste.

LED lighting is placed at a 45 degree diagonal pattern, significantly reducing the lighting quantity and power load, making this design 35 percent more energy efficient than the California Energy Code and American National Standard.
