Choosing architectural and technical solutions
Contenu Principal
There are many solutions combining architectural and technical solutions to achieve a BBC-effinergie building.
This guide does not aim at introducing all these solutions, but rather at giving examples about the different possible solutions, and, above all, at pointing out their assets as well as the precautions to take when choosing the most appropriate options for each project. It is particularly not the accumulation of the most performing products and systems that would make a building less consuming and more comfortable. Yet, the combinations of appropriate and compatible choices must be duly considered in order to aim at the determined objective.
For each building, the designers must make the right choices to determine the combinations of walls as well as their interactions and appropriateness to the equipments and systems. The solutions are chosen according to their best adaptation to the local situation, to the will of partners, to the technical know-how of firms, and to their experiences,…
The solutions are presented here in groups on different themes. The charts present figured taken from computer simulations based on few examples. Their objective is to give orders of magnitude about the impact of different options in terms of energy consumption or summer comfort.
For each building subject to an application for the BBC-effinergie label, the thermal surveys – using the methods of thermal regulation – enable to check if the BBC-effinergie requirements for a building are correctly fulfilled.
