Renewable energies are diverse and now available to all. Each has its particular advantages but how you make them work together can be a key factor of project success. ISOVER knows just the right formula which contributed to the success of the insulation solutions they provided for this notable project.
For this renovation, situated in an urban context and built in 1911 in the form of standalone apartment houses, the age of the structure itself represented a sizeable challenge. The services of an independent energy expert, consulted prior to and during the renovation, proved particularly useful. From the start the goal was to bring together four sources of renewable energy (solar heating, heat pump, rainwater recuperation and a thermal exchanger).
