Résidence La Sauvenière:For the 600 residents of this condominium, environmental awareness was triggered by the combination of energy price rises and the realization that large potential energy consumption reductions were possible by means of centralized heat production systems. The administrators of this block of 350 flats therefore proposed to install ambitious environmental systems including the simultaneous production of heat and electricity from colza oil and thermal solar panels have resulted in big annual energy savings (photography).
Comptoir Caméléon - Arianne:
Caméléon plans to have a new type of department store built with works starting in Spring 2009: the project involves the construction of a building of +/- 17,500m² to house a specialist supermarket, a neighbourhood creche and concierge service. The complex falls within a rationale of explicit sustainable development. Indeed, the project will offer an extensive natural lighting system, a high degree of insulation, materials with a low ecological footprint, natural cooling and ventilation of buildings and car parks, a solar installation (thermal and photovoltaic) and even a wind energy unit.
Two other tours will be offered during the Annual Rendezvous:
Blue circuit: Enhanced energy performance for buildings compatible with heritage conservation (L’Oréal Building flats, Art Déco private residence)
Red circuit: Application of a passive house heating standard
