ONLINE BRUSSELS HERITAGE - ONE-DAY SEMINAR - 11/12/2014
EXEMPLARY BUILDINGS
The experience gleaned from exemplary buildings (Batex) constitutes a source of highly interesting information. These projects went further than the EPB Energy Regulation recommended at the time. They were followed up by experts and are currently monitored, which enables us to inform future discussions with concrete facts. Each Batex is presented in detail on the Brussels Environment website.
Fig. 1
Rue Rubens 92 in Schaerbeek. Low energy, single-family dwelling house, 39 kWh/m2/year. The front façade was retained and the joinery, although triple-glazed, was reproduced to exactly match the original setup. The front façade was internally insulated and, in order to respect the heritage, certain bands were left without any insulation (A. de Ville de Goyet, 2015 © SPRB).
Fig. 2
Avenue Besme 107-109 in Forest. Apartments and offices. Art Deco style low energy building. The window frames on the front façade were retained and renovated with the single-glazing being replaced with double-glazing 1.1 (A. de Ville de Goyet, 2015 © SPRB).
Fig. 3
Avenue Ducpetiaux 47 in Saint-Gilles. Low-energy renovated standalone house. The façade was retained. It is internally insulated on the non-listed internal sections which concern three of the four floors. The owners opted for the installation of a second window set back from the first in order to preserve the original aspect (A. de Ville de Goyet, 2015 © SPRB).
Fig. 4
Rue du Comte de Flandre 45-51 in Molenbeek-Saint-Jean. Mommaerts workshops, the front façade of which is listed. It was not insulated internally but a low energy solution was, nevertheless, achieved. (A. de Ville de Goyet, 2015 © SPRB).
Fig. 5
Rue Royale-Sainte-Marie 237 in Schaerbeek. Apartment building. Almost passive example of a building included on the list of protected structures, the façade of which was retained (A. de Ville de Goyet, 2015 © SPRB).
