Original situation

A four storey non-residential building from the 1830s located in the dense city centre of Bagnères de Bigorre in the Pyrenean piedmont (FR-65000).

Renovation approach

Just finished checking structural integrity in preparation for the retrofit; likely finsihed in 2024, started in 2022.

 

Renovation approach document

Modernisation proposal

Semi prefabricated complete retrofit to the EnerPHit Standard. The front side will be a traditional retrofit since the building is listed. The back side will be a prefabricated, compressed straw wall (Ecococon Wall). New triple glazed windows, heat pumps and ventilation with heat recovery will be added.

Efficiency improvement

The planned renovation will bring heating demand down by a factor of more than 20 and also result in an impressive reduction in total primary energy.
