Speech by Margaux Pétillon, ETP engineer and associate architect, CAN-ia
Introduction by Gilles Chabenès, architect, President of UNSFA Loire-Atlantique
Beyond its undeniable environmental virtues, construction using biosourced materials has a number of qualities that are assets for the building industry. Not limited to the structure and insulation, it also applies to the finishing work. Through feedback, we will illustrate how building with biobased materials enriches our projects.
The key values proposed by CAN stem from the firm belief that eco-constructed buildings provide greater comfort for users, leading to a better quality of life and improved operating and profitability. Added to this is the desire to decarbonise the act of building. CAN therefore puts its engineering skills at the service of architectural design in order to master the constructive, regulatory and economic aspects of low-carbon construction.
Our agency sees bio-sourced materials as an essential resource in the eco-construction approach in the broadest sense.
By definition, biobased materials are materials derived from plant or animal biomass. These renewable materials are real carbon traps, helping to maintain the balance of our planet. As well as environmental considerations in the broadest sense of the term, building with biobased materials provides health benefits and guaranteed performance for users.
Wood, hemp, flax, straw, animal wools and many others are sustainable allies in building for the future.
