Interview with Laurent Bernard, technical director of Barbanel.
CTB: What have been, in your opinion, the most important technical innovations in France in recent years?
Energy efficiency does not only imply the choice of efficient equipment, but is also based on an optimized sizing of the networks 1. There are also, before a project, specific construction issues, about which we sensitize architects, such as bioclimatism and good enveloping design. . Another issue is that of renewable energies that can be integrated into buildings. In photovoltaic solar energy, one way is photovoltaic glazing, which has gained efficiency. The cells are located inside a glass that has great transparency. It is also necessary to exploit geothermal energy, subject to a careful study of the nature of the soil and the potential of the subsoil. It is possible to pump groundwater with volume storage or seasonal storage in the field. Geothermal energy can also be implemented with dry probes, with no exchange other than thermal exchange with the environment. There are also new techniques such as the adjustable dry probe. Other aspect,[…]
