CHEVAL MARIN
Renovation of a building with
pub/restaurant and apartments
Despite the constraints related to the renovation of a historic
building, the future works will improve the insulation and
air tightness of the building. Cofinimmo and the Historic
Monuments and Sites Department work together and seek
solutions for the thermal insulation and security issues
brought about by the obligation to restore the existing frames
fitted with leaded stained glass.
TERMONDE/DENDERMONDE POLICE STATION
New construction
Delivered in 2012, it is the first passive building in Cofinimmo’s
portfolio. Thanks to its very good compactness and its high
level of insulation (K20 instead of the maximum allowed in
the Flemish Region of K45), this police station presents an
exceptional energy performance at level E12 (compared with
a maximum allowed level in the Flemish Region of E100).
This entity is aiming for energy neutrality while guaranteeing
occupants’ comfort.
SUSTAINABILITY MEASURES:
•
greater insulation of the entire building;
•
optimal solar protection: adapted glazing and exterior solar protection
system;
•
fully automated type D ventilation system;
•
high-performance lighting concept (namely with a brightness detection
system);
•
high-efficiency heating system with heat pump;
•
photovoltaic panels (1,500 m²).
SUSTAINABILITY MEASURES:
•
restoration of facades and exterior wood finishings;
•
renovation and insulation of roofs with wood fibre;
•
replacement of sloped roof slates;
•
installation of condensing boilers;
•
installation of dual-flow ventilation;
•
installation of floor heating (ground floor and mezzanine);
•
replacement of apartment radiators.
HENRI DUNANT
Construction of a new nursing home
By participating in the redevelopment of the former Vishay
industrial site into a multifunctional entity, Cofinimmo
participated in the creation of a new urban district with
exceptional architectural and urban planning consistency.
SUSTAINABILITY MEASURES:
•
K27 thermal insulation;
•
1,300 m² of green roofs;
•
dual-flow ventilation system;
•
load-bearing structure with a freer layout, enabling an easier building
conversion.
THE GRADIENT
(formerly TERVUREN 270-272)
Renovation of an office building
Cofinimmo undertook a major renovation of the The Gradient
building. The work was conducted in phases and will
improve not only the energy and insulation performances
of this building, but also the comfort and functionality for its
occupants.
The redevelopment of the site enabled to reduce energy
consumption by 51% over the past ten years.
SUSTAINABILITY MEASURES:
•
insulation of the envelope and insulation of cold bridges under the
terraces;
•
replacement of double glazing with triple glazing on coated aluminium
frame with thermal shutdown;
•
automatic lighting in the corridors, sanitary facilities, and offices using
detectors;
•
creation of green roofs and renewal of their sealing;
•
installation of detectors on taps to reduce water consumption.
