New case study: renovation of a 1950 two storey building

A big change is happening in INFINITE: the French demo case changes. The technologies will be implemented in a building located in the north of France and constructed in 1950.

This building is a traditional construction, surrounded by masonry perimeter walls. The features of this building make it a very interesting demo case, as it very versatile for the experiment of new renovation technologies.

The very features that make this building interesting also pose a great challenge. This is since the building has to renovated and made energy-efficient, while maintaining its architectural integrity.

The installation of new technologies therefore cannot take place if the technologies do not have an ATEx on the solution. The ATEx is the Technical Experimentation Assessment, made by group of experts. It is a procedure that assess technically an innovative product and is a step prior of the Technical Appraisal. It is a useful procedure as it makes easier the execution of the first innovative projects featuring this technology.

Therefore, an ATEx on the BIPV is being pursued.
