More information :

Insulation of the high floor of 160 mm R=4.5 m2.K/W
Facade insulation from the outside, thickness 210 mm, R=5.562 m2.K/W
Insulation of gable facades from the outside, thickness 110mm, R = 3.437 m2.K/W

Roof insulation:
- Accessible terrace (roof top), thickness 120 mm R= 5.45 m2.K/W
- Inaccessible vegetated terrace, thickness 200 mm, R= 8.7 m2.K/W

All the bay windows in the project have aluminum joinery (Uf = 4 W/(m².K).
The current glazing is screen-printed double glazing (screen printing rate < 40%). The characteristics of this glazing are as follows:
- Ug = 1.0W/(m².K)
- TLg = 0.55
- Sg = 0.30

The south facade of the attic has glazing with the following characteristics:
- Ug = 1.0W/(m².K)
- TLg = 0.65
- Sg = 0.36

The exterior woodwork on the west facade is equipped with dark-coloured exterior fabric blinds with the following spectrophotometric characteristics:
- Solar transmittance < 0.15
- Light transmission < 0.10

The exterior joinery of the West and the South facades of the attic are equipped with an external rolling venetian blind system, controlled according to the sunshine on the bays, with a solar radiation set point of 350 W/m², beyond which they close. In order to secure energy and comfort gains, it was decided to motorize these rollings and automate their management.

An infiltration rate of 0.8 m3/(h.m2) under 4Pa was considered in all the thermal zones.

• Building Compactness Coefficient : 0,35

Indicator : I4

• Air Tightness Value : 0,74

Users' control system opinion :

According to the surveys that we conducted with the occupants following their installation, it appears that they appreciate the dimmable and presence detection lighting in the offices, thus allowing optimum lighting at the workstation.

Concerning the occultations (external rolling venetian blind system), the automation by remote control allowing a user derogation pleases them. They only regret that the concealments are not individualized to the 1.35m office frame, which would have allowed a multitude of possible layouts (offices, open spaces, meeting rooms).

Systems

Heating system :
• Others
• Fan coil
Hot water system :
• Individual electric boiler
Cooling system :
• Others
• Fan coil
Ventilation system :
• Double flow heat exchanger
Renewable systems :
• No renewable energy systems
Other information on HVAC :

Production of heat and cold: production is ensured by the heat-refrigeration pumps (3 VRV 3-pipe type units). It is an efficient heating and air conditioning system with low greenhouse gas emissions since it is powered by electricity.

Transmitters: heat and cold are diffused by fan coils located in the ceiling.

Mechanical ventilation: the renewal of hygienic air in the rooms is ensured by double flow ventilation (a AHU located in the false ceiling of the sanitary facilities). The fresh air is diffused by the supply vents and taken up by other dedicated vents.

Biodiversity approach

Mitigation actions on soil and biodiversity :

A diagnosis was carried out by an ecologist prior to the start of the works. Given the past presence of a building on the entire plot, in an urban and artificialized context, it was concluded that the site did not include elements favorable to fauna and flora.

A process aimed at improving the attractiveness of the site for the surrounding biodiversity was then carried out, according to the ecologist's recommendations.

The actions carried out are:

• Installation of an extensive green roof with plant palette.
• Installation of refuges for small fauna (insect hotel, birdhouses and bat dormitories).
• Vegetation of a courtyard ensuring 84% of native and non-allergenic plant species and 3 different planting strata (tree, shrub and herbaceous). Plant species are favorable to fauna (berry and/or melliferous species): 45% individual trees and shrubs, 41% of the herbaceous layer contains melliferous species.
• No creation of deadly traps.
• Limiting light pollution.

Urban environment

A location in the 2nd business district of the Lyon metropolis after Part-Dieu, the Gerland district in the 7th arrondissement. A changing neighborhood.

A location favoring collective transport modes:

1. Immediate proximity to metro line B linking the Part-Dieu station;
2. Proximity to line n° 1 of the tram, main line of the agglomeration.
    

But also a proximity to major highways (North/South, East/West).

A tertiary sector rich in shops, bars and restaurants

• Land plot area : 472,00 m²
• Built-up area : 89,00 %
• Green space : 53,00

• Reconditioning of the tiles by the supplier and reuse

Reused materials rate :

The reuse process carried out on this operation is in fact part of several other actions carried out by QUARTUS in parallel or a posteriori, on a national scale.

The QUARTUS Group adheres to the Booster du Réemploi

"The real estate sector is often decried for the importance of its consumption of resources, underlines Emmanuel LAUNIAU, President of QUARTUS, but very few actors had until now made the effort to imagine a pragmatic way to encourage the sector to reuse more materials. Transforming and reusing what is already there is for QUARTUS a major lever to make a city more sober, ecological and accessible to all.»

This membership is a natural continuation of the commitments presented in June by the QUARTUS Group, including that of promoting the deployment of "solutions to anticipate climate change". From 2023, any new operation of the QUARTUS Group will thus integrate biosourced, geosourced or reused materials, and will be developed with increased consideration of the issues of reversibility and scalability of buildings.

Îlot Bergeron, Pavillon Raspail: two examples of concrete actions

By carrying out the rehabilitation of the Halle Bergeron on the Ile de Nantes, former Alstom site, in a mixed program combining 7 800 m² of offices and a residence of 24 apartments, QUARTUS has chosen to keep the dry dock (25m x 10m x 7m) to manage rainwater, store roof water and create an ornamental pond. The structure of the halls - 105 tonnes of steel - was also dismantled and repaired to build a workshop less than 80 km away. The Group has also carried out a waste diagnosis of 45 materials sheets which have enabled various local players committed to reuse to satisfy their research.

As part of the joint development zone Saint-Vincent-de-Paul reconversion project (Paris 14th), QUARTUS is transforming the Lelong building into a program of 137 housing units and more than 2 600 m² of business premises, 100% of the surface area of floor and 83% by mass of the structure will be retained. Thanks to a resource diagnosis, 23 materials with potential for reuse (approximately 200m3 and 80 tons) were identified. Projection blinds will, for example, be refurbished and then reused in their initial use, while other materials will be reused on site for a new use, in particular in the form of furniture. Added to this are materials from outside reuse channels, for a recovery-reuse objective of 11 tonnes of materials. The Booster du Réemploi provides construction players with technical resources to better integrate reuse into their production processes, while centralizing their requests for reused materials via a marketplace putting them in contact with specialized suppliers.

Project visit : Yes

Circular design

Sustainable supply :

• Selective demolition of the existing building (aimed at recycling 3 types identified in the waste diagnosis);
• Concrete infrastructure limited to the minimum (a single level made of concrete);
• Superstructure made of wooden frame (columns, beams, floors and walls in CLT).


Upstream reflections in order to reduce the environmental impact of the facade, having resulted in:

1. Replacing aluminum blinds with exterior screen blinds on the east facade of the project;
2. Selecting facade materials that reduce the environmental weight of the facade while maintaining the exterior appearance expected of a commercial building adapted to its urban environment. The fibre-reinforced concrete cladding initially planned for the east and west facades was replaced by Alphaton enamelled terracotta cladding from Moeding and the opaque glass curtain wall with aluminum profile in the gables was replaced by ST900 steel cladding from Arval;
3. Selecting materials from reuse (reconditioned Mobius false floor) and a carpet made mostly of recycled materials (Milliken).

Indoor Air quality

The theme of indoor air quality is dealt within the BREEAM certification via the HEA02 criterion. The actions of the air quality plan carried out are as follows:

• Distance from fresh air intakes and discharge of 8 meters;
• Control of the TVOC of construction products (class A+ in the majority, class A minimum required);
• Adapted ventilation system: AHU filtration, M5 (returned air) + F9 (fresh air);
• Regulation, sealing and maintenance of the aeraulic network: class B for aeraulic networks;
• Recommendations on indoor air quality included in the lessee's specifications.

Comfort

Temperature level :

Heating and cooling are set at:

• Heating: 19°C, basic outdoor winter conditions in Lyon (69), i.e. -10°C;
• Cooling: reduction of 6°C compared to nominal summer conditions, i.e. 26°C inside for 32°C outside with drift beyond this temperature.


The heat treatment of all the premises is carried out using direct expansion production of the 3-pipe DRV type, allowing the offices to be heated and cooled simultaneously.

When unoccupied, it is maintained at 16°C. Temperatures in the offices are relaunched 2 hours before occupancy on weekdays (6 a.m.) and 4 hours before Monday mornings (4 a.m.), to warm up the building as soon as the occupants arrive.

The cooling setpoint temperature is maintained at 32°C when the premises are unoccupied.

Remote controls (+3/-3°C), distributed by level (2 per level with zoning per facade), allow occupants to modulate the setpoint.

Acoustic comfort :

An approach was implemented upstream of the project by the acoustic thermal consultancy agency defining ambitious objectives:

• Isolation from outside noise (after measuring environmental noise);
• Isolation from interior noise;
• Limitation of impact noise from one level to another;
• Limitation of equipment noise perceived in office spaces;
• Limiting the acoustic reverberation of noise in open office spaces.


Based on the performance level of the NFS31080 standard relating to the acoustics of offices and associated spaces and the overall insulation objectives prescribed by the BREEAM standard.

The architectural bias of making the wooden structure fully visible inside the premises led to the implementation of acoustic islands suspended under wooden slabs and absorbent textile wall panels in the office floors - a solution which is particularly comfortable for use according to the occupants.

Visual comfort :

All of the floors were simulated according to a probable positioning of the offices (traffic areas excluded).

In order to verify that the requirements of the BREEAM standard in terms of natural lighting have been met, a compliance report for the eligible premises has been carried out. This report details by level and by room the achievement of the requirement in YLF min and in YLF average.

The calculation of the ratio of premises complying with the requirement, by level and for the building as a whole, shows that the HEA01 credit has been achieved.

Indeed, even if the building is relatively deep (14m), the rate of glazed surface is very important and the joinery is very high (2.5m on the floors, 2.9m on the ground floor and 3m on the attic) which allows all of the office floors to enjoy a good lighting atmosphere.

Thus, 85% of the surfaces of premises with prolonged occupation have a minimum YLF greater than 0.54% and an average YLF greater than 1.8%.

Ergonomic design :

Concerning the design and ergonomics of the spaces, significant work has been done with regard to the false ceilings. The objective: to get away from the classic plan of the false ceiling of offices which covers the floor and to leave the floor "free" ennobled of the workspace.

Quality of life and services

Wood being 12 times more insulating than concrete, the living environment suffers. The environmental qualities of wood go so far as to affect the health of the occupants, since wood promotes better indoor air quality thanks to its hygrothermal buffer properties. This material also provides significant acoustic insulation promoting the comfort of the occupants.

Life Cycle Analysis

The life cycle analysis takes place in 4 main stages, in accordance with standard NF EN 15978: 2011:

1. Definition of the objectives and scope of the study (functional unit, boundaries, etc.);
2. Life cycle inventory (accounting balance sheet of withdrawals and discharges);
3. Assessment of the impact of the life cycle (transition of flows into impact categories and impact modeling);
4. Interpretation (verification, sensitivity studies, use of results).


The LCA was carried out using Elodie v.3 software developed by the CSTB (Centre Scientifique et Technique du Bâtiment).

The reference study period, corresponding to the planned lifetime of the structure, is 50 years.

The contributors taken into account are:

• Construction products and equipment (“components”);
• Energy consumption;
• Water consumption and discharge;
• Worksite.
   

The environmental impacts generated by activity waste produced during the life of the building (excluding deconstruction waste) are not taken into account (excluding the E+C- scope).

Furthermore, the impacts related to the movement of people using the building are not counted here (outside the E+C- scope).

The surfaces taken into account for the BBCA calculation are as follows:

• Existing deconstructed surface: 900 m² SDP according to building permit dated April 2019;
• Project area: 2 213 m² SDPaccording to building permit dated April 2019.
