[REX] Horizon Nature – Construction of 75 high-performance and responsible housing units in Montévrain (77, France)

Near the banks of the Marne, this project provides for the construction of 67 intermediate and collective housing units and 8 individual houses. The "Global Quality" approach of the Groupement des Industriels de la Prescription (GIP) was followed for the design of this project, in particular through the choice of quality and durable equipment and numerous innovations in terms of energy.

An effective project, which offers an easily duplicated model to reduce the environmental impact of new constructions! Let's find out with this feedback.

 

Optimization of building energy consumption

Several measures have been adopted to reduce energy consumption within the residence.

 

The 67 apartments will be heated by individual gas boilers. Thanks to the injection of green gas into the network (gas produced from renewable resources such as agro-food waste), Horizon Nature promotes the use of carbon-free and renewable energy.

 

Added to this is a reinforced thermal envelope made up of concrete floor and load-bearing insulating brick (Bbio equivalence of RT2012 -25%) to which is added a heating control system. The accommodations will therefore be both comfortable and eco-responsible and the energy consumption will be reduced and monitored. Concerning the 8 individual houses, these high-performance systems will be coupled with self-consumption photovoltaic panels on the roof.

 

Finally, in a more global vision of energy optimization, charging stations for electric vehicles and car parks and maintenance stations for bicycles will be installed. These services are intended for both residents and their visitors, thus highlighting the choice of soft and low-carbon mobility.
