Success Cases
Project description
A typical multi-apartment post-Soviet style residential building was chosen to 
demonstrate new renovation opportunities. The total floor area of the building is 1100m2 and the total area of external walls is 1350 m2. Two apartments on the ground and first floor of the building were selected to test Bio4EEB technologies. The rest of the building will be insulated with stone wool in traditional way.

This demo case residential complex was built in 1929 and is located at the northern part of Mallorca Island.This building is listed in the Catalogue of Elements of Artistic, Historical, Environmental and Heritage interest in Mallorca. Its protection level is subject to protection of certain elements, such as facades, terraces and gardens.
Project description
This demo case was built in 1950 as detached single family house, now
it will be restructured, modernised andextended as an apartment house with 3 condominiums. The total floor area is 425 m² + 112 m² in the cellar. The total area of external walls is 420 m². The purpose of this demo-case is to demonstrate the application of the BIO4EEB technologies in new and existing buildings. The prefabricated rooftop extension and the new north façade were selected to test Bio4EEB technologies as panels and insulation on the exterior walls and on the roof.
Project description
The un-refurbished Czech rural houses built in the period 1921-1945 have rather poor energy performance. The energy saving potential of this part of the Czech housing stock is worth paying attention. About 60-70% of rural buildings originating from the pre-war period do not meet the current energy efficiency standards.
Project description
The project in question is in-house project of BOUYGUES CONSTRUCTION, it is about the transformation of an industrial site (a chocolate factory) in several types of buildings: housing, co-living space, presence of a hotel and all this in the urban environment of the Ile de France region. Several of the existing buildings are protected as historic monument.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why are bio-based insulation materials important?
While bio-based insulation materials keep the environmental footprint of buildings significantly lower, they also improve the insulation properties and increase durability with lower maintenance costs.
Why should i choose a bio-based insulation?
Bio-based materials have a lower environmental footprint, have non-toxic materials, improve moisture regulation and offer comparable thermal performance with other traditional materials.
