Engineering study prior to building 4 semi-shared "passive" housing units at Auzet (04140) with the aim of "passive building" standard labelling.Brief descriptionThe DYNALP² project corresponds to the "study" section prior to building four "passive" housing units at Auzet. This phase extends to the Detailed Draft (DD) included, an important step which enables planning permission to be filed. This is a basic stage because the success of construction with the securing of the "passive building" label depends on its quality and accuracy. In France there is very little housing which adheres to the standards imposed by this label. The engineering study for Project Management (PM) - architect, design office - is more considerable because of this than for traditional housing and thus the fees also. On the one hand, DYNALP² funding allows the project to be started with the Engineering and Design Offices, on the other a partnership to be organised with a qualified Project Management team, from the Vorarlberg, for example, in conjunction with the "Alliance in the Alps" and CIPRA. AimsBuilding 4 housing units in the small alpine commune of Auzet has a fourfold aim: 1/ To provide reception capability for new residents so as to continue the effort to revitalise the commune, because currently no housing is available. 2/ To avail of this need to create "passive" housing, because we are convinced that this form of "clean" housing is a future solution to protect the quality of the alpine environment in particular. 3/ To put partnership solutions in place (Holzbaukunst, Vorarlberg), thanks to the "Alliance in the Alps" network and to CIPRA's CLIMALP project for organising a tutorial system with a local Project Management team not yet trained in these techniques, so as to ensure the project's success. 4/ To open the way for other communes which would in their turn wish to start building clean housing by making them benefit from our experience of this type of project. RealizationFor the architect and the DO: 1/ The Sketch (SK) where the specifications supplied by the Contracting Authority (CA) is analysed. This is completed by providing the sketch in the overall building plan of the buildings and by selection of the architectural part. 2/ The Summary Draft (SD) corresponds to the work on volumetry with development of the plans. The structural (timber and concrete), fluid and thermal DOs, develop technical solutions optimised in terms of energy with dynamic simulations. 3/ The Definitive Draft (DD) fixes the plans, the dimensions of the work, its appearance and the materials. The building principles for the foundation and structure are defined at this stage, along with the description of thermal solutions and the provisional cost of the work. 4/ The file requesting planning permission is drawn up with the DOs. For the Contracting Authority, monitoring of the 4 phases of study and preparation of the Franco-Austrian/German/Swiss partnership (?) for transfer of experience. InvolvedThe main parties ("study phase") are the architect and the various Design Offices (DO). The most important one is the thermal engineering one in charge of the calculations required to obtain the label. One of the partners will be one of the "passive building" or "Minergie Plus" NGOs which will ensure supervision and labelling of passive housing. Thanks to the CLIMALP project, the International Commission for the Protection of the Alps (CIPRA) will be involved for our contacts abroad. ProjecttermAugust 07: Start of study. October 07: Sketch given to CA (the commune) for approval. February 08: Examination of the plans for the project in the SD phase - optimisation of the energy solutions - preliminary study of the structural elements. September 08: Fixing plans and types of materials - finalisation of all technical solutions - planning permission. A trip to find partnership (Vorarlberg, for instance) will be organised in spring 08 for the benefit of the CA and the architect. FinancingDYNALP² Contributions (Euro) : 20000 Contact person
