With the rapid increase in power density in AI infrastructure,\ntesting requirements are becoming significantly more complex, requiring\nexpanded and highly specialized laboratory environments. Therefore, this green\nfacility at Soest, designed to achieve LEED Gold certification, comprises\n7,500 square meters of advanced R&D laboratory space and 2,500 square meters\nof office space to accommodate up to 250 talents.\n\n(https://mma.prnewswire.com/media/2978793/Delta_s_New_R_D_Center.html)\n\nDr. Peter Ide, Managing Director of Delta Energy Systems, said, \"Soest has\nbeen a vital innovation engine for Delta in EMEA for decades, and this\nexpansion reflects our commitment to strengthening localized R&D capabilities\nin Europe. It enables closer collaboration with customers and faster\ndevelopment of advanced and sustainable solutions for data center and\nautomotive applications. In the field of AI, Delta's engineers in Soest play a\nkey role in developing advanced power solutions across the 'grid-to-chip'\nvalue chain.\"\n\nDelta currently employs approximately 450 people from 35 nations in its Soest\nsite, which serves as a central competence hub for high-efficiency power and\ncharging solutions, playing a critical role in addressing the rapidly evolving\nand increasingly complex needs of customers in EMEA, particularly in sectors\nrequiring highly customized and scalable power solutions. In recent years,\nDelta has continuously expanded its workforce in Soest, which, together with\nthe increasing space requirements of advanced R&D activities, has made the new\nfacility necessary. The new building will accommodate both existing teams and\nongoing new hires, with the 250 workspaces primarily intended for current\nemployees while supporting further growth.\n\nDelta in Soest also maintains strong partnerships with local and international\nuniversities, including institutions in Soest, Paderborn, Hannover and Berlin,\nas well as Eindhoven University of Technology in the Netherlands and Aalborg\nUniversity in Denmark. Through these collaborations and regular participation\nin career fairs, Delta continues to attract and develop young engineering\ntalent for its growing R&D operations.\n\n\"Customer requirements are escalating rapidly, both technologically and in\nterms of energy efficiency and scalability,\" added Andreas Kostrzewa, Managing\nDirector of Delta Energy Systems. \"With this new development center, we are\nestablishing optimal conditions to implement innovations faster and further\nexpand our global competitiveness.\"\n\nReflecting Delta's commitment to sustainability, the new building meets the\nhighest energy efficiency standards (EG 40) and has been designed to achieve\nLEED Gold certification. The facility integrates a photovoltaic system with an\ninstalled capacity of over one megawatt, generating more than 1 million kWh of\nsolar energy annually, heat pumps, and a battery energy storage system with\n2.5 MW power and 5 MWh capacity, as well as intelligent energy management\nconcepts. A key innovation is the utilization of process heat generated during\nproduct testing to heat the building, effectively combining technological\ndevelopment with sustainable operations. The site also includes a DC fast\ncharging station in addition to more than 60 AC EV charging points for\nemployees.\n\nThe structure features a resource-saving combination of existing concrete\nframework and modern timber-hybrid construction. \"This form of timber-hybrid\nconstruction is rare in industrial environments and, together with the\npreservation of the existing structure, sets a strong example for responsible,\nfuture-oriented building,\" noted Architect Peter Völse.
