Case study proposed by Pôle Fibres Energivie as part of the Build & Connect conference.
"Today, the need for innovation, in a broad sense, both technical and social, is fundamental. A first contribution consists in striving to reduce the various environmental impacts of the residences built. A second part consists in developing an original and societal conception of collective housing. This is our challenge."
Cédric Simonin, CEO of Trianon Résidences
Designing the habitat of the future, this is the most ambitious mission that the Alsatian developer and builder Trianon Résidences has undertaken. In concrete terms, the company aims to promote innovation to design more sustainable and healthier buildings without losing quality of life.
The Heart Déco program, a residence of 51 apartments and an office space on the first floor in Saint-Louis (68), fits into this framework. The project's particularity is its façade, which is equipped with depolluting properties, thus being able to absorb polluting particles present in the air. This is a first for a residential building in France! The building is also remarkable for its energy performance and for the quality of the air inside its apartments.
The program was awarded the Silver Pyramid for Innovation at the regional level in 2019.
Innovation for ecology: a façade that purifies the air
The building's facade is made of cement bricks containing products formulated from TX Active® technology. This technology works according to the natural phenomenon of photocatalysis, absorbing the harmful substances and compounds created by human pollution and neutralizing them with light.
As a result, the facade is endowed with depolluting, self-cleaning and bactericidal properties, being able to absorb the equivalent of the pollution emitted by 20 cars in one year!

Commitments in favor of indoor air quality
Trianon Residences is working to improve the quality of the indoor air of the residences put on the market. To do so, the developer has gone beyond its responsibilities as a developer and is committed to ensuring that the homes do not contain traces of VOCs or allergens. Monitoring is performed throughout the project, from design to delivery, to ensure that these commitments are met.
A collaboration with specialists from the medical corps of the CHU of Strasbourg has made it possible to carry out a diagnosis of the impact of the various construction materials used on the quality of the indoor air and consequently on the health of the inhabitants. The materials were then mapped in such a way as to favor those with the least negative impact or those that are virtuous. For example, on this residence, plasterboard equipped with a depolluting technology. Designing well-ventilated homes also helps improve indoor air quality.
In terms of construction processes, a Green Building Charter has been set up. It is based on four major principles:
- Organization of site cleanliness;
- Optimization of waste management and sorting;
- Reduction of nuisance and pollution;
- Preservation of used resources.
Upon delivery of the program, a research firm tests the air to verify its quality on several parameters such as relative humidity, carbon dioxide or mold.
The developer also takes on an advisory role by providing a Good Housekeeping Guide to each resident. This guide raises awareness of the importance of good housekeeping for good air quality and impacts on well-being and health.
A building heated with renewable and local resources
The residence is connected to the local district heating system, of which 90% of the heat is produced by the combustion of biomass coming from a radius of less than 100 km: forestry chips, corn cobs, deconstruction wood, etc.
The advantages of this energy system are multiple:
- Valorization of local resources;
- Lower operating costs compared to conventional heating systems;
- Financial savings for the inhabitants;
- Preservation of air quality thanks to the filtration systems installed on the installations.

Based on TX Active® technology, the photocatalytic cement in these bricks absorbs organic and inorganic pollutants from the air and neutralizes their harmful properties. It accelerates the natural oxidation process that breaks down pollutants.
In addition, it protects coatings from pollutant stains, thus preserving the aesthetics of the façade in the long term. It also reduces maintenance costs and needs.
This technology has been developed for more than 24 years, in technical partnership with the CSTB (Centre Scientifique et Technique du Bâtiment) and the CERIB (Centre d'Etudes et de Recherche de l'Industrie du Béton). The products are CE standardized and NF labeled.
The bricks can be adapted to the desired rendering of the facade, so they do not affect the aesthetics of the building.
This product is now available in all types of concrete and mortar for structural and non-structural use, for a wide variety of uses.
