Constraints :
-Candidates will work in pairs.
-The final project must comply with ADEME criteria for thermal insulation, soundproofing and energy savings (RE 2020):
Total primary energy consumption must be less than 100 kWh/m²/year. You must carry out an energy audit of your building.
Renewable energy production systems must be integrated to achieve a passive or positive energy balance.
Invest in high-performance insulation using environmentally-friendly materials.
Efficient ventilation. In particular, RE 2020 will introduce new requirements for the sizing and control of ventilation systems. Good ventilation evacuates humidity and maintains a pleasant room temperature throughout the building.
Optimal bioclimatic design, for example, exploiting the sun's heat to the full. The location of your building must also be taken into account.
-It must be aesthetically pleasing and well integrated into its surroundings.
-It can't be a copy-paste of an existing project.
Plan :
Each session consists of several tasks. To move forward efficiently, some tasks can be completed individually, so it's necessary to divide up the tasks at the start of the session. If these tasks have not been completed by the end of the session, they will have to be completed for the next session. A mark out of 5 will be awarded at the start of each session to check that the tasks have been completed correctly.
If you're absent from a session, you'll need to make it up to present your expectations at the next session!
Session 1:
Create a shared space for your group so that your work is ALWAYS accessible on the Internet. In the event of your colleague's absence, you must be able to present your work.
Research and analysis of existing facilities.
Research container characteristics and dimensions.
Choose the type of building for your project and put it into context (location, features, etc.).
Start 3D design (Revit, Inventor, SketchUp or others).
Research appropriate English vocabulary.
Write slide show.
Session 2:
Completion of 3D building design.
Choice of insulation materials.
Search for appropriate English vocabulary.
Drafting of slide show.
Session 3:
Choice of energy production systems.
Choice of ventilation system.
Building energy balance. (energy consumption simulator)
Search for appropriate English vocabulary.
Drafting of slide show.
Session 4:
Search for appropriate vocabulary.
Completion of slide show.
Allocation of speaking time for presentation.
Oral practice.
Session 5:
Presentation of your project to the class.
Evaluation :
-The final project should show the layout of the elements in the form of a slide show or similar.
-The presentation should be in English and last about 5 min.
-The presentation should include notes but no written text. Only drawings, diagrams or fragmentary information will appear on the slides, but no text.
-Accent and pronunciation will make up a large part of the final mark.
-Remember to include information on the following points: energy balance, location, insulation and layout, container assembly. And don't forget to prepare your vocabulary.
Oral comprehension :
-Watch the following video and write down on a sheet of paper what you understand from it.
