Obtaining optimum residual value for a nursing
home after 27 years of occupation, by responding
to buildings’ renovation or reconversion needs –
that is one of the issues overcome by a carefully
planned sustainable development policy.

Major external renovation of
the Martelaarplein 6-7 building
in Louvain (café/restaurant)
Construction of a prison
in Leuze-en-Hainaut
Despite constraints linked to the renovation of an historic building,
the renovation of the façades and roofs made it possible to improve
the building’s insulation.
This “model” prison exceeds compulsory energy specifications.
The insulation level is K30, while total energy consumption stands
at E60.
The establishment is aiming for energy neutrality while guarantee-
ing occupants’ comfort.
