  • Reference project
Arche de la Defense renovation
Twenty-seven years after its inauguration, the iconic Grande Arche in La Défense, Paris' business district, needed renovation.
Years of wear and tear eroded the marble façade and the thermal insulation was no longer state of the art: the need for cutting-edge solutions was obvious. Two layers of insulation have been installed:
- lambda 30 glass wool to reach a high level of thermal performance;
- dark tinted glass wool to preserve the aesthetics of the façade with hollow cladding.
The total installed thermal resistance is 4.1 m² K/W; the annual energy consumption has been cut from 300 to 100 kWh/m². The renovated building will be awarded two certifications: "Haute Qualité Environnementale Rénovation bâtiments tertiaires" (High Environmental Quality Standard for Commercial Building Renovation) and "BBC Rénovation" (Low Consumption Building Renovation).
