Energy-intensive building



The Chengdu * school group, with very strong energy performance, is integrated into one of the new eco-districts of the City of Montpellier, the Parc Marianne district. This school group of 3,080 m² includes a kindergarten and an elementary school for a total of 11 classes. The school is connected to the heating network of the city of Montpellier fed by the wooden trigeneration plant.

The BEPOS school (positive energy building), constructed in a constrained site (large effects of masks linked to neighboring buildings) has 290m² of solar panels on the roof, which allows 20% more energy to be produced than the total consumption of The school was designed and built in such a way that the comfort is optimal in summer as in winter while reducing the energy needs. The school group is equipped with various innovative equipment (room-by-room control, GTC for heating, solar shading, natural ventilation, CO2 sensor, counting and counting, dimmable lighting, window contact to stop heating in case Opening ...) allowing it to guarantee such results. Support for the various users of the building was realized to allow an appropriation of the functioning of the building and to participate in the optimization of comfort and energy savings. A user guide was set up as well as an explanatory comic book for the students. This school was awarded the Ecocité call for proposals launched by the State.

* The city of Chengdu in China (10 million inhabitants) has been twinned with the city of Montpellier since 1981. When the foundation stone of the Chengdu school was laid, the mayor of Chengdu was present and asked architects to Build in Chengdu the Montpellier school on the same bases!

Sustainable development approach of the project owner

Objectives: Building with Energy Positive (BEPOS) + 20% all energies combined in a constrained plot: plot of 2000m2 and large mask (R +12 and R + 8 in the south), very constrained delays. Contractual objectives: 1 heating requirements of 13kWh / m2SHORT / year maximum, 2-autonomy natural lighting 70% minimum, 3-production renewable energy: 120% minimum consumption, 4-level air tightness less than 0.8m3 / h / m2 This is the 3 ° BEPOS built by the city of Montpellier; The 1st BEPOS was carried out in-house by the services of the City of Montpellier and the 2 ° BEPOS was carried out by competition architect and market works in separate state bodies.

Architectural description

The school group Chengdu is located in the ZAC Parc Marianne of the city of Montpellier. It is entirely in keeping with the dynamics of the place by presenting an urban and attractive architecture. The heights, the plays of full and void, the colors, the materials, the architecture in "stratum" participate in its integration. Built in a constrained area (small plot of 2000m², adjacent to high buildings), this school has been optimized to accommodate the pupils of the 11 classes of the school group and has an interesting compactness to limit thermal losses of this building. The school rises on 3 levels and has intermediate levels with the playground and a bioclimatic garden. Each element of the frame has been designed to optimize the space and contribute to the comfort of the users. The solar protection of the premises is ensured by large roof overhangs and adjustable sun breezes. The south orientation of the main facade of the school allows a great deal of natural light and heat in winter. The circulations are located in buffer zones to the north of the building. The 300m² of photovoltaic sensors have been integrated into the roof of the R + 2.

Building users opinion

Testimony of Catherine Pertin, Director of the Chengdu School Group

1) What do you think of the summer and winter comfort of the building?
Overall the building is comfortable for teachers and students. The solar shading and the inertia of the building contribute greatly.
On the other hand, there is an "aquarium effect" in the nursery yard since the buildings were built around.
2) What do you think of lighting? Quality / function of the detectors?
It's good. It is also interesting to be able to have the hand on the solar shadows or on the light especially when there are projections made in class.
3) What do you think of solar shading? Quality / Functioning?
The operation is good and the material is of very good quality (Comparison with the Montpellier school built in Chengdu in China). The settings are fine and being able to have a hand on it is a plus. The level of comfort is very good and the sensors for the solar shading work perfectly, they reorient themselves automatically every 6 hours.
4) Are windows open regularly? The heating stops at that time?
The windows are rarely opened, it can happen when they are substitute teachers. To stop the heating when a window is opened effectively it works.
5) What do you think of the acoustics of the building?
Compared to the exterior, it is special because there are many building sites around but I think the acoustics remains better than in a conventional building.
At the level of the interclass acoustics, there have never been any problems, it's really good. For the refectory, it is also very well compared with other establishments.
6) At the restaurant, do you use ceiling fans?
Yes it is a good thing, it gives a refreshing effect.
7) In relation to your experience, what is the difference between BEPOS and conventional?
This is important for the children and the teaching staff. It's nice for a team to have a new venue that also produces more energy than it consumes.
8) Is the Guide sufficient to understand the operation of the building?
The teaching team is the same as that since the opening of the school, we quickly and perfectly assimilated this guide. In addition, a functional guide more suited to children has been created, it is highly appreciated by everyone.

Urban environment

  • 2 000,00 m2
  • This project has the will to integrate itself in its environment without being not hidden in the eyes of the public. It is important that such equipment can be perceived and seen by everyone. A school is a primary program in a neighborhood. It is federative, it assumes a preponderant social role. The proposed site, relatively "enclave" in the very center of the Parc Marianne ZAC, is located in the heart of a residential environment. It has a rectangular shape and has a building area that is constrained by its grip and height. The relatively small building surface area and the architectural recommendations of the ZAC naturally led us to propose a project that was installed on the entire right-of-way: - Implementation of the project on the entire available floor area - "Full" peripheral base on the north and east facades - Courtyard and classrooms in the South - Use of the possibility of semi buried rooms to propose for a perfect internal organization This school project is therefore anchored in a truly urban neighborhood. It has to respond to its environment close both by its architecture and by its volumes. ZAC of about 2000 dwellings and plot with buildings in R + 12 and R + 8 south side.

    In order to be BEPOS + 20% the Chengdu school is equipped with 290m ² of photovoltaic panels installed on two distinct roofs. The 177 modules produced 75.8 MWh in 2015, despite a restrictive zone (many masks). Photovoltaic production is closely monitored. In order to detect an inverter fault an interface, available online, has been set up to monitor production in real time and check the efficiency of the inverters. Cleaning of the panels is carried out once a year to ensure better productivity.

    Photovoltaic panels guarantee the BEPOS performance of the school. A monitoring of production is therefore important.
