Owner approach of sustainability

SOLEO aims to be equivalent to K30 in terms of its energy performance, which can be likened to a building "low energy". Indeed, a powerful insulation combined with a significant inertia of the building resulting from its concrete structure, SOLEO presents a low energy consumption and also has a façade with an original design combining metal and vegetation. These two aspects result, for example, in a minimization of the glazed surface while guaranteeing an adequate natural luminosity and by the use of specific solar protections (use of automatic blinds). Other aspects have also been developed in a sustainable objective. . To this end, there are air handling units that ensure proper ventilation of the building while recovering calories from the exhaust air, to warm the fresh air to avoid unnecessary heat loss (CTA); cooling of the "Night-cooling" type, making it possible to dispense with air-conditioning for stages 1 to 6; Full LED lighting with motion detectors and automatic dimmers according to the external light which aims to reduce the consumption of electrical energy and to avoid overheating; the use of rainwater for the sanitary facilities but also the installation of a condensing boiler on each floor which offers the possibility of being able to manage the heating individually in case of vacancy (importance for rental areas). The latter system also has an autonomous management in case of failure and allowed to use boilers of smaller power which allows a total modularity. This desire to be part of sustainable development is also reflected in the "green" symbolism of plants installed on the front and which, moreover, will contribute, at a modest level, to the reduction of carbon emissions. In short, a dynamic interaction with the climate for a rational use of energy (ERU). SOLEO also gives pride of place to the technological evolutions notably by the use of high speed cabling (10 Gbits / s) which take into account the next data constraints to come, the use of an advanced computer system of technical management of the building as well as the installation of LED screens, at various places in the building, programmed to operate exclusively during office hours to avoid unnecessary consumption of course.

Architectural description

The user-friendliness, the comfort, the acoustics, the care brought to the ergonomics as well as to the thermal aspects, are essential. The reception of visitors is also at the heart of creation: it is the image of the intercommunal who exposes itself to it and reflects it. SOLEO gives pride of place to "organic" architecture, with flexibility and curves. Externally, it exhibits a "double skin" since the workspace is indeed isolated from the ambient urban environment by means of a hanging garden, green and vertical buffer zone. It is the subject of a lot of work budget and technical analysis since the main idea of the building, beyond its integration into the renewal of Charleroi, was to act dynamically with the climate, light and nature . Therefore, it can be called building "Active Living".

Urban environment

In 1986, IGRETEC moved into its new premises, made by our design office, located on Mainz boulevard in Charleroi. Following the development of its activities and business lines, our staff was cramped within the head office built 20 years earlier and, in December 2007, the IGRETEC design office presented a vast and ambitious architectural project and real estate, the Aéroparc, which was to bring together on the Aeropole a series of public and private operators serving companies: Agoria, IGRETEC and many others. December 2008, the situation had changed dramatically. The Charleroi Sud Hainaut Strategic Development Committee, aware of the new challenges, supported the return of our headquarters in the city center of Charleroi. The carolos authorities, taking into account the Phenix project (extensive renewal program of downtown carolo), which we managed and coordinated, also invited us to question this implementation. The change of course was acquired. This important strategic shift has forced us to bounce back, quickly and smartly. Very quickly, the inventory of real estate supply in the city was drawn up by a multi-criteria approach integrating the impacts in terms of image, feasibility, visibility and cost. Very soon, too, a site was established: No. 1, Bd Mainz, our head office. A simple choice, since we are already co-owners with ETHIAS and occupants, and complex at the same time, requiring significant inventiveness to deal with the existing, while facing significant constraints. But as creativity is precisely what our design office never misses, the ball was taken to the leap with, as a goal, the complete renovation of the head office (Mainz Wing of the name of the boulevard) to which would be added a extension (Poirier wing) and inevitably a parking lot considering the urban situation ... SOLEO was born!

Product

Bins plant and guardian for the realization of a planted facade



TERRA COTTEM

Mekeirleweg 5 8570 Vichte

 http://terracottem.com/fr


Product category : Finishing work / Exterior joinery - Doors and Windows

The set consists of waterproof and insulated plants, made of the same material as cassettes on the front. The bins are filled with potting soil and planted all the way in organized ways. The stakes made of curved sheet metal are intended to allow climbing plantations and thus provide additional sun protection. Equipped with an automatic watering system (drip) managed by sensors measuring the humidity level coupled to solenoid valves. The peculiarity and the originality of the whole lies in the amendment of the potting soil by TERRA COTTEM brand reticulated hydroretrating polymers. These hydroretents absorb and store rain or irrigation water at root level, which in other circumstances would evaporate or flow. They optimize water resources and reduce the amount and frequency of watering up to 50%. The water is stored in such a way that the roots of the plants can dispose of it by their rootlets. Water is present in the root zone for a longer period.
