This undertaking was made for a 10-class nursery school and the upgrading of two existing junior schools that comprise the Binet schools complex in northern Paris.
This project has been designed by architech DeSo Associés and consulting engineers Betom-Cap Terre.
The city of Paris called for a high level environmental performance. It stipulated compliance with its Climate Plan, setting energy consumption targets of less than 80 kWhPE/m²/year for the refurbished schools and below 50 kWhPE/m²/year for the new school. A further demand was HQE certification for the new nursery school, requiring the ‘high performance’ level for three target areas: energy management, maintenance and hygrothermal comfort.
Bouygues Bâtiment Ile-de-France has committed to going beyond the targets set for the new nursery school, proposing to improve the HQE profile on several targets including ensuring a low-nuisance construction site and air and water quality). The company has also offered a guarantee of heating consumption for the nursery school.
In addition, Bouygues Bâtiment Ile-de-France has introduced biodiversity measures for the school. The company has collaborated with an ecological specialist, who will monitor the project throughout the duration of the works, to identify the forms of greenery and animal species present on the site and plan a works schedule that will optimise their protection. The company has undertaken to test the Binet operation according to Urban Biodiversity reference guidelines developed by Elan, a subsidiary of Bouygues Bâtiment Ile-de-France. These guidelines are used to assess the extent to which biodiversity issues are factored into property operations in urban areas.
