The Olympia model: digital, decarbonization, local and circular economy
CERIB
Background
The Olympia model takes a virtuous approach to sustainable construction. It is the result of the return of experience resulting from the realization of the Olympia residence closely involving the actors of the territory. The design of this residence of 37 housing units located in Chartres (28) is part of the BIM 2022 plan, starting at the time of the publication of the Anti-Gaspage and Circular Economy Act (AGEC) and its work phase begins at the time of the advent of the environmental regulation RE2020.
The involvement of the Concrete Industry in the implementation of the Olympia project allows the demonstration of its know-how in this context of transition to work. Indeed, the Federation of Concrete Industry (FIB) promotes the advances made by the concrete pre-manufacturers and highlights their innovations and developments. The Cerib, the Industrial Technical Centre, supports companies in their desire for innovation, particularly in the fields of decarbonation, circular economy and digital transition. It is therefore quite natural that the FIB and the Cerib, with the help of Agyre and CL-Impulseur, collaborated with Pierres & Territoires Eure-et-Loir to contribute to the technical solutions most suited to the ambitions of the Olympia project.
The Olympia model is based on:
- a mastered global cost design based on digital and BIM for business consultation;
- compliance with RE2020 requirements, both on carbon footprint and energy performance through decarbonisation and eco-design of prefabricated concrete products;
- industrial and territorial ecology through the use of local resources and recycled components, the control of waste generated during construction and the easy recycling of the work at the end of life;
- a guided, easier and safe implementation, speed of execution, reduction of nuisances for the residents.
The Olympia model illustrates « the correct calculation » for the construction of housing with prefabricated concrete products.
