In Hérault, the alliance of three industrialists for efficient and low-carbon energy renovation
Summary for decision-makers
Summary for decision-makers
The renovation of a 250 m² farmhouse incorporated high standards: preserving the exposed walls and ensuring optimal thermal comfort in the face of the region's intense heat. The ACOSI+ wood fiber radiant heating and cooling ceiling system was chosen to enhance thermal inertia and improve energy efficiency.
The system includes an air-to-water heat pump, a Thermador mixing tank to optimize flow rates, and ThermoZyklus controls for precise room-by-room temperature management. This combination offers discreet, quiet, and economical comfort, setting a regional standard for the renovation and extension of older buildings.
Carried out by OGS Energies, the renovation project of a stone farmhouse included the installation of Thermacome's Acosi+ wood fiber heating and cooling ceiling system, combined with a heat pump and a Thermador mixing cylinder to better manage flow rates and operating cycles. The choice of the ThermoZyklus control solution also helped optimize comfort and consumption.
Objective: to preserve the exposed stone walls and optimize the interior surfaces, while ensuring optimal thermal comfort
A 250 m² construction site with high standards
The rehabilitation of this farmhouse had to meet two challenges: keep the exposed walls et ensure optimal thermal comfort in a region regularly subject to high temperatures.
Convinced after visiting two equipped houses, the customers chose the ACOSI+ heating and cooling ceiling, now available in a wood fiber version, a bio-sourced material which reinforces the inertia and energy efficiency of the building.
High-performance and complementary equipment
- La Air/water heat pump powers the installation.
- La Thermador mixing bottle ensures hydraulic decoupling, optimization of flow rates and improved longevity of the heat pump.
- La ThermoZyklus intelligent regulation allows room-by-room control to the nearest tenth of a degree.
Result
A comfort discreet, quiet and economical, which makes this site a regional reference and will serve as a model for future extensions of the farmhouse.
