The Var departmental council in south-east France embarked on the construction of a new-generation school building in 2017. A building meeting the highest energy performance standards, awarded the Gold-level Sustainable Mediterranean Building label and BBC Effinergie certification.
With the architectural expression making much use of wood, clay and other raw materials (steel and glass), photovoltaic energy production, a wood-fired boiler, a sun-breaker on the façade, green roofs, water recovery and reuse, geocooling i.e. geothermal technology used for cooling…. a whole array of bioclimatic solutions were called on.
Some initial measurements were taken and temperatures were found to remain below 26°C.
The aim of this project was to find a high-performance geothermal solution taking up as little space as possible, with a small ground footprint.
An undeniable advantage of the geothermal basket solution selected for this operation.
