Lundi 25 juin 2018, ICF Habitat Nord-Est a ouvert les coulisses de son chantier pilote de Longueau, près d’Amiens, qui consiste à rénover 12 pavillons Hlm des années 60 selon l’approche hollandaise EnergieSprong pour qu’ils atteignent le niveau « énergie zéro » (CAD ils produiront autant d’énergie qu’ils en consommeront). Co-financé par Interreg NWE et soutenu par l’ADEME et la CDC, ce projet E=0 est coordonné par Bouygues Bâtiment Grand Ouest, avec Pouget Consultants, Alterea, Dalkia, et le Studio d’architectes Ranson-Bernier.

Innovation always deals with resistance. E=0 is no different. The Luxembourgish refurbishment project-pilot is by far not an easy task. Recently, the chosen building had to face a challenge: the location of the electric/ventilation box. The technical task force came up with a solution: putting the technical boxes right under the roof, providing the best cost / efficiency ratio within such a short time frame. Team work was crucial in this case since many options were examined before deciding to locate the boxes on top of the building. That type of solution can now be shared with Partners and also provide a valuable experience for future refurbishments. It also clearly underlines that E=0 is a common effort both at national and international levels. Read More
Homeowners from a private apartment building in Assen have wanted to go to Net Zero Energy (NZE) for three years now. Now that they have secured finance they are finally set to realise this goal. Their homeowner association is the first in the country to finance a NZE project with financing that is building-linked. These types of pilots are essential for developing a nationwide financial product for these projects. Such a financial product would represent a great step forward in realising energy transition goals, as it would enable more private apartment buildings to adopt Net Zero Energy. And the good news is: building-linked finance has been included in the recent coalition agreement of the Dutch government. Read More
