ISOVER provides insulation solutions for a multi-family residence renovation in Lausanne, Switerzland. The particularly low thermal insulation coefficient and clearly unsatisfactory technical installations contributed to a picture that was not very encouraging. In spite of these problems, the renovated building was one of the first of its category in Switzerland to receive the MINERGIE quality certificate. Finally, a survey of residents showed one of the highest satisfaction scores for this type of enquiry.
For the complete renovation of these four buildings dating from the 1970s each successively set back from the street, the goal was relatively classic: meet the level of comfort desired by the owners but also create a harmonious blend of architectural qualities and technical and energy-related performance. The original construction represented numerous shortcomings related to age and the construction techniques employed at the time: water infiltration, thermal bridges, irregularities and deformations in windows, corrosion of frames and joints.
