Sustainable development approach of the project owner
This is a property development operation under renovation. The aim is to extend the building by adding a floor on the existing roof and on the occupied site. - To use the building's potential for elevation (building potential without new footprint) - To build in less than 6 month with a dry (low carbon) solution in occupied site and without overloading the structures (lowering of limited loads) - Creating healthy premises comfortable for future users - Achieving an excellent level of energy performance and low-carbon value for buyers - C is the second project in renovation "green building" Ariosto after the own renovation of its premises labeled BBC renovation in 2016.The Green Box on the Roof project is a technical and architectural feat achieved in record time (6 months) with a high level of performance (Bepos E2C2 level without ENR). The context of the site is particularly difficult: several offices (on the lower floors) are occupied during the duration of the works. The existing equipment of the lower levels of ventilation and heating are located on the terrace where the elevation is located. Heating and ventilation should not be stopped during the construction period (December to June 2019) or moved. The building is in moderate seismic zone, which induces constraints in terms of structure and slab piercing. The wood frame construction is an asset for the reduction of overloads: the roof terrace is not a carrier, it is necessary to rely on the structure post & beam existing lower floors to create a wooden platform receiving the new construction. off-site manufacturing reduces assembly time, user inconvenience and transportation. Insulants bio-sourced prove very successful in hot weather, companies on site testified to their effectiveness during the hot days of May and June. It feels good in the premises, the natural light is widely diffused and the acoustics are excellent, no "resonance" in the empty premises. The exterior views are clear at all points of the offices. The large green terraces contribute to a feeling of well-being at R + 2. The building is accessible to the PRM via a glass lift created in a plant and artistic path. The building is monitored for monitoring of comfort and energy performance measured.
Architectural description
The elevation is a very elongated building of 80 mx 15 m wide outside terraces. The bioclimatic design is a strong element of the project. The comfort, the health of the users and the measured environmental performance are the priority targets of the project. The new construction has a long facade facing east with a beautiful view of the Alps and a west facade overlooking a business park. The choice of curtain wall in the East is conditioned by architectural criteria for the harmonization of the construction with the existing, by criteria of energy performance and user comfort (natural light and unobstructed view). The choice to install a curtain wall East facade allows a significant amount of natural light (TL 89% and FS 28%) with a limited greenhouse effect in the morning in opposition to the west facade (southwest) less glazed and very exposed to effects of sunstroke. The facades are protected from heat flows by a reconstituted wood cladding type envelope (+ 80% wood fiber) completed by a compact laminated cladding. The south and north terraces are equipped with awning sun-breaks and shading terraces. For the comfort of users, the use of insulation hemp & linen contributes to summer comfort (phase shift) and the natural regulation of hygrometry. The implementation of open wood joinery allows each user to ventilate his workspace naturally. Generous terraces accessible in reconstituted and vegetated wood will reduce summer overheating.
Building users opinion
In the course of finishing
If you had to do it again?
The addition of BSO on the West facade would have been timely. Production in self-consumption was studied but was not selected by the developer given the local prices of the real estate market. The roof was designed to later receive a PV installation installed by the purchasers.
