More information :

Composition of the envelope :

WALLS
- Basement wall (interior insulation, biofib'Trio) U = 0.241 W/m².°C
- Exterior wall on west and north facades (exterior insulation, rock wool + brick or ceramic cladding) U = 0.229 W/m².°C
- Exterior wall East facade (interior insulation, biofib'Trio) U = 0.241 W/m².°C
- Exterior wall on R+8 elevation (wood frame with Biofib'Trio insulation) U = 0,187 W/m².°C
- Interior wall on unheated room (Biofib'Trio) U = 0,236 W/m².°C

CEILINGS
- R+8 / R+6 / R+1 terrace ceiling: reused compressed polyurethane insulation
- R+7 terrace ceiling: 30 cm Biofib'Trio insulation

FLOORS
- floor on outside U = 0,237 W/m².°C
- interior floor on unheated premises U = 0.271 W/m².°C
- floor on ground level U = 0,003 W/m².

The building envelope combines a controlled inertia with a strong external insulation of the facades (14 cm) dressed with a terracotta and ceramic facing which slows down the heat transfer in summer.

Solar factors of the external joineries (without taking into account the solar protections)
- vertical windows Sw = 0,35
- horizontal windows Sw = 0.15

The external solar protections on the exposed facades (West) are optimized to let the sun through in winter and to limit the solar gains in summer.

Smart Building

BMS :

The shutters are controlled by facade and level blocks in order to take into account the differentiated solar gains between the West and the East and the lower / upper floors of the building. Usage scenarios can also be set.
Air quality sensors are distributed in the building.
The air handling units have internal alarm systems that inform in case of defect or need of maintenance (filter change for example).
Some doors have access controls that inform the operator when they are not closed.
Access to this data will be online for public access users with a custom designed ergonomic interface.

Health & Comfort

Health & comfort :

To guarantee the health and comfort of the inhabitants, here are the strategies put in place:

• A fitness trail staircase ;
• The creation of a "ZEN" break room without electromagnetic field and soft light ;
• The creation of an educational vegetable garden with an introduction to permaculture on R+8 ;
• The creation of green spaces planted at the foot of the building with pedestrian seats and 3 accessible vegetated terraces ;
• The creation of 125 bike and scooter spaces in the building ;
• The choice of heat pump on the roof with low noise emission to reduce noise on the roof.

Acoustic comfort :

In order to guarantee the comfort of use of the premises in occupation the objective is to contain the reverberation time to a value below 0.8 seconds. These values are, in the case of the regulation for speech frequencies, i.e. covering the octave bands from 500 to 2000 Hz.

To achieve these objectives, false ceilings with high acoustic performance have been installed.

The entrance hall is a place of passage particularly prone to the effects of noise. This is why it has benefited from an additional acoustic treatment provided by a treatment of wood panels and biosourced acoustic insulation on the ceiling and walls. A planted wall also contributes to the acoustic comfort of the entrance hall.

Daylight factor : Dans chaque pièce du bâtiment il y a un très bon apport naturel et celui-ci permet d’être caractérisé comme « non éblouissant » car les FLJmoy sont supérieurs à 1,2 dans les bureaux et les salles de classes, mais ne sont pas trop importants car les FLJm

Product

Greenhouse gas-free heat pump with cold and hot energy storage
Veotherm

Product category : Génie climatique, électricité / Ventilation, rafraîchissement

The VEOTHERM heat pump is an innovative solution that meets the current challenges imposed by climate change: ensuring the thermal comfort of building users while limiting the impact of heating and air conditioning equipment on the environment.
This heat pump operates over a temperature range of -35°C to +55°C and thus enables the building to be cooled whatever the outside conditions, including during heat waves. In addition, it has an excellent energy efficiency as shown by its A++ energy rating.
It allows the storage of thermal energy (heat and cold) thanks to the presence of phase change materials. This energy is free and produced mainly by the photovoltaic plant when it is not required.
This heat pump does not emit CO2 or other pollutants and its refrigerant has a GWP (Global Warming Potential) < 1.
It does not require electrical resistance in winter.
It generates little noise pollution: its sound level is around 42 dbA at full power.
The VEOTHEM heat pump can also be coupled to a direct current photovoltaic power supply.
It is locally manufactured: less than 20 km from the project, with a very high reparability index that limits dependence on imports.

Adiabatic
Souchier Boullet
01 60 37 79 50 / 01 60 37 79 89

Product category : Génie climatique, électricité / Ventilation, rafraîchissement

The cooling of the interior of buildings is a major issue because it is associated with an increase in the use of air conditioning, which causes an increase in energy consumption.

ADIABOX NFG is a passive cooling solution by evaporation. Before using the heat pumps to cool the building, the adiabatic system will lower the temperature of the air blown by the double flow AHU by 5 to 6 without energy.
When hot air comes into contact with water (present in the wet exchanger of the equipment), it causes evaporation. The energy required to evaporate the water is extracted from the air, which then cools down. The efficiency of such a system increases with temperature (since an increase in temperature is accompanied by a decrease in relative humidity).

This cooling system makes the electrical consumption of the equipment negligible compared to a mechanical system equipped with a cold water coil. Its water consumption is also reduced. Rainwater could be recovered in a future approach.
Its operation does not require any refrigerant gas and therefore does not generate any pollutants.

The design of the equipment is very simple and thus greatly reduces the risk of breakdown. Only a circulation pump, a water inlet solenoid valve and a drain valve are necessary for its operation. It has no compressor or high pressure refrigeration circuit.

The health of the users is also favored by a healthy blown air without micro-droplets and thus without risk of micro gutter.

Urban environment

Near and far environment

The rehabilitated building is located in the heart of downtown Lyon, on the banks of the Rhône, opposite the Confluence district, at the crossroads of avenue Leclerc and rue des Girondins in Lyon 7th:

• Vela Verde is the end of a linear built sequence of R+7 housing attached to the South gable ;
• to the north, on the other side of the rue des Girondins, are the buildings of the military base of the Frère General Headquarters ;
• to the west is Avenue Leclerc and the Berges du Rhône ;
• to the east, a housing program has recently been built partly attached to the gable of the building.

This building is ideally located within a mixed district in full mutation .

Connected to the city, it is also connected to nature. Located along the quays of the Rhône, it benefits from proximity to the requalified banks, the distant landscape and privileged views of the hills of Lyon .
Access is easy thanks to the proximity of bus stops, Velov' stations and the B Jean Jaurès metro stop, which is only a few streets away. It is smoothly connected to the hypercentre and transport hubs .

 

A complementary program to existing installations

Vela Verde is a project integrated into its neighborhood. It is part of the continuity of the logic of development of the 7th district, echoing the future campus of the green EM Lyon.

In addition, it is close to existing student residences and sports fields that will benefit future students on campus. The establishment of the school will create a socio-economic dynamic beneficial to food, health and catering businesses in the surrounding area.

The existing building is being transformed to meet a new use. This building formerly housing the offices of MACIF will soon house a higher education school. This is a transfer from a school already established in the 7th arrondissement.

In the basement of the building, the parking lots have been converted mainly into 2-wheel parking in order to promote the possible soft movements thanks to the development of the traffic lanes on the upper and lower quays of the Rhône.

The green spaces are increased in order to integrate into the green fabric of the district and enrich it.

 

Vela Verde wants to generate a long-lasting positive local impact, both environmental, social and economic, as well as being a source of inspiration on the scale of the 7th and the city.

Sustainable design

Functionality economy, recycled and recyclable materials :

Recycled materials :

The PVC tiles used (SAGA² 70 tiles from Gerflor) contain 55% recycled materials.

Recyclable materials :

All PVC flooring, including those of the staircase, are 100% recyclable: SAGA²70 and Tarastep 43 tiles from Gerflor. Gerflor has set up the Second Life program, a free collection program for installation scraps and "clean" end-of-life products (unglued and REACH compliant). After collection, the products are sorted and crushed into reusable granules at the Floor To Floor sorting and recycling center. These granules are then recycled in Gerflor's factories and integrated into new products: their second life begins. Glued or non-REACH compliant floors are processed by the complementary recycling program PVC Next. After collection, the waste is sent to the AgPR recycling center (Germany) where it is sorted and crushed into granules that can be reused by other industries.

The entire interior insulation of the building is made of BioFib' Trio, also 100% recyclable.

The 250 m² terrace on the ground floor is made of 100% recyclable PVC slats.

The cladding of the elevation is made of 100% recyclable composite wood (neolife).

The elevation of the building is also made of regional and French wood structure for the most part and fully reusable.

Reversibility / Adaptibility :

The Vela Verde building was designed to be adaptable and to allow for a possible change of use, notably from school to offices or any other activity receiving the public. This ambition is part of the targets retained in the HQE approach.

Several architectural provisions facilitate changes in zoning, such as false ceilings and the possibility of partitioning rooms. Ventilation, which must be more important in a school than in offices, is also easily adaptable since it would be enough to reduce the flow rates.

Specificities linked to new materials :

The choice of new materials was mainly oriented towards environmentally friendly and local materials.

The building contains more than 250 m3 of French biosourced insulation based on hemp, linen and cotton (Biofib'Trio) or wood fiber. More than 1000m² of the exterior insulation is associated with a brick and/or reconstituted stone facing.

The acoustic panels of the common areas integrate bio-sourced materials (wood fiber).

All of the constructive additions (patios, skylights, elevations) are made of wood.

Of all the materials used in the project, 95% are local, French or come from the nearby European Union. 172 insulating wood windows were manufactured locally.

Reproductibility and Innovation
