Energy-intensive building

Between heritage and energy renovation, the project aims to bring the electricity, sanitary facilities and access to the building to the standards for people with reduced mobility. Work on the roof, insulation, carpentry but also on the electric heating have also been undertaken. In addition, a wooden extension was built at the rear of the building.

Restoration of this site provided an opportunity to employ a large number of local businesses, while promoting both an ecological and circular approach. The rapeseed straw on which the lime/rapeseed coatings are based is provided by local producers in conjunction with the community of communes who wish to promote local production of agro-materials.

Environmental approach:

  • Insulation of walls using biosourced materials;
  • Vertical walls of the room plunge into a wooden frame accompanied by wood wool insulation;
  • Insulation of wood wool ceilings in two crossed layers;
  • The roof has been redone, except for the lean-to on the street side;
  • The wooden joinery is new.

A few additional details:

  • The electricity and sanitary facilities have been refurbished and meet ERP standards;
  • Remediation work.


Constructive methods

Frame:

  • Traditional historical

Vertical walls:

  • Vertical walls of the room plunge into a wooden frame accompanied by wood wool insulation.
  • Freestone and rubble stone walls, coated with lime on the outside, and insulated on the inside with a 10 cm thick rapeseed lime coating accompanied by a similar coating finish.
  • For water features, traditional insulation thermal resistance R ≥ 4 m².K/W.

Low floor:

  • stone and concrete

Roof:

  • Insulation of wood and mineral wool creepers in the parts exposed to fire.

If you had to do it again?

Problem of compatibility between the fireproof character of the plasterboards, if wood wool insulation is incorporated, the coating loses its fireproof character, for lack of laboratory validation

Urban environment

    The commune of Chanceaux near Loches is located on the edge of the forest and borders the town center of Loches. It is a very popular place for lovers of fine literature, stronghold of the Saint Bris family, Gonzague Saint Bris had a former hunting meeting there, known and recognized by a large number of contemporary authors. This restaurant is located at the foot of this house, it has been listed for more than a hundred years and many old postcards attest to it.

Product

    Lime/rapeseed plaster

    Association Isochamp

    As a result of the town hall's desire to promote local products for this site, a lime/rapeseed coating is used to insulate the building. Rapeseed is indeed grown in the region, unlike hemp normally used for biosourced coatings, and offers the same thermal, hygrothermal, acoustic and mechanical performance.

    The design and manufacture of local rapeseed aggregates are the result of partnership research work, carried out by the ISOCHAMP association and the GDA Loches Montrésor, with strong support from the Community of Communes. ISOCHAMP is a collective of farmers working to promote insulators made from rapeseed and sunflower. The association has notably worked with the universities of Orléans and Tours to document the properties of these products. A project with PAREXLANKO was then undertaken to develop the sector.

    Several sites in the region have used rapeseed or sunflower straw for building insulation.

Construction and exploitation costs

Reasons for participating in the competition(s)

Une rénovation patrimoniale permettant de sauver ce bâtiment emblématique, tout en lui offrant de réduire quasiment de moitié sa consommation d'énergie primaire. Une pompe à chaleur permet de chauffer le bâtiment. La maitrise d'ouvrage avait pour volonté de mettre en oeuvre un maximum de matériaux locaux et naturels sur ce chantier. Au-delà de l'utilisation de laine de bois en isolant, un enduit chaux-colza a été appliqué sur les murs, résultat d'un travail de recherche sur la valorisation de cette matière première locale.
