Energy-intensive building

The program for the extension of the L'Oréal SICOS plant in Caudry aimed to integrate the possibilities of valuing renewable energies for the benefit, first of the extension, then of the plant.

First of all, a reduction in needs through an architectural envelope made from high-performance local biosourced materials, displaying the new generation of industrial buildings with ambition level RE 2050. Elevations in wood-straw boxes covered with saturated wood cladding.

Then, the project presents several technologies of natural low temperature energy transfers:

  • aerovoltaics for the production of electricity and daytime hot air or fresh night air (324 m²).
  • 36 geothermal probes at a depth of 190 m, ie 6,840 ml of transfer of calories and frigories in inter-seasonal storage under the building to optimize the footprint on the ground.
  • Reconstitution of the water table by infiltration retention of rainwater and geothermal recharge of probes.

Sustainable development approach of the project owner

"We want to be an exemplary company in terms of sustainable development and in particular in terms of the environment" Jean Paul Agon, June 2012, CEO L'Oréal group.

Goal.

Consider the 3,500 m² extension of the existing 50,000 m² plant, an exemplary break with traditional design approaches, in order to bring out environmental possibilities, particularly renewable energy.

Original ambition.

Consider remedies:

o Biosourced materials from the architectural envelope to reduce thermal needs.

o The natural energies of the site and their use in the service of the extension project, but also for the benefit of the existing plant, if possible.

First green building.

It is the programmatic importance of the plant extension operation that made it possible to initiate an exemplary project approach with a spirit of openness to virtuous environmental innovation.

From the program provided, it was the subject of holistic re-questioning which continued as a dynamic driver during the phases of design, consultation of companies, development of PEOs, execution performance, refinement and perseverance of finalization. new emerging technologies.

Architectural description

The Sicos (Caudry) site of the L'Oréal group specializes in cosmetic emulsion products. The objective of the project was to bring together the stocks of alcohol in a dedicated place, contiguous and isolated from the factory.

The extension of approximately 3,400 m² on the ground, 10 meters under the ceiling, adjoining the plant, was built in a reinforced concrete structure with a large range anti seismic level 3, associated with an insulating jacket in wooden boxes filled with bundles of straw, fireproof 2h.

The infrastructure piles (20 m), coexist with the 36 vertical geothermal probes 190 m deep.

The superstructure in reinforced concrete beams, long span, supporting pre-stressed alveolar slabs receives on the exterior vertical walls, the wooden boxes with filling in bundles of compressed straw, modulated on the constructive grid.

A wooden frame, placed on the roof terrace, houses all the technical equipment such as exchangers, heat pumps, buffer tanks, etc. and receives the 216 aerovolatical sensors on its southern slope.

Urban environment

    The SICOS factory is located at the southern limit of the territory of the municipality of Caudry, on the edge of the railway line.
    The site of the operation, positioned to the north-west of the industrial site, is framed on its east, south and west orientations by production buildings, the two of which facing each other are linked by a communication gallery.
    With little difference in level, it is separated by an emergency access road in its northern orientation from a stripping awning which faces it, with beyond a grassy embankment and a cedar hedge lined with a fence, the rue de l'Europe.
    To the south of the gallery linking the adjacent buildings to the east and west (called A and D), an outdoor space framed by constructions generates a large-scale patio, partially occupied by a dust collection tower and prefabricated units welcoming the quality department, which will be demolished for this operation. The rest of the available space is sodded or covered with red shale, without any planting.
    To the north of the gallery, which will also be demolished, there is an asphalt truck turning area and unloading docks for the use of the building on the eastern edge. These elements will also be demolished and filled in in order to find a level base and free of any obstacle.

Reasons for participating in the competition(s)

L'objectif du projet consistait à regrouper le stock d'alcools dans un lieu dédié, isolé de l'usine. L'extension d'environ 3 400 m² au sol, 10 mètres sous plafond, mitoyen de l'usine, a été construite en structure antisismique de niveau 3, associée à un manteau isolant en caissons bois remplis de bottes de paille locale.

Les caissons modulaires bois/paille autoportants et préfabriqués ont permis une rapidité de mise hors d'air et hors d'eau des parois verticales. Ils sont habillés d'un bardage extérieur, en douglas de Haute Savoie, saturé. Les sheds en structure bois apportent lumière naturelle dans les labos. 36 sondes géothermiques verticales permettent d'exploiter les ressources naturelles du sous-sol, 324 m² de capteurs solaires aérovoltaïques, posés sur charpente bois, produisent électricité, air chaud diurne et frais nocturne récupéré par des échangeurs et réinjecté dans les réseaux hydrauliques usines.

Les pieux de l'infrastructure, cohabitent avec les 36 sondes géothermiques verticales de 190 m de profondeur. La superstructure en poteaux poutres béton armé, de grande portée, support de dalles alvéolaires précontraintes reçoit en parois verticales extérieures, les caissons bois avec remplissage en bottes de paille locale compressée, modulés sur la trame constructive. Une charpente bois, posée sur la toiture terrasse, abrite l'ensemble des équipements techniques tels qu'échangeurs, pompes à chaleur, ballons de stockages, ... et reçoit sur son versant Sud les 216 capteurs aérovolatïques.
