Service · Building envelope

Building envelope & insulation — passive performance, structurally addressed.

Optimise the passive performance of buildings through coherent envelope, insulation and airtightness strategies — anchored in the broader energy trajectory.

The challenge

Envelope works often deliver less than promised.

Insulation, airtightness and façade interventions are frequently scoped on isolated thermal calculations, without articulation to ventilation, HVAC, regulation and long-term operations. The delivered performance rarely matches the design assumption.

  • 01Thermal calculations disconnected from real ventilation and HVAC operation.
  • 02Envelope works planned without coordination with regulatory obligations.
  • 03Insufficient attention to thermal bridges, airtightness and durability.
  • 04No structured post-works verification of performance.

How we support

Envelope, framed inside a building strategy.

We treat the envelope as one component of the building's energy system — designed and delivered in coherence with HVAC, ventilation, regulation and operations.

01

Strategic framing

Position envelope works inside the broader energy and asset strategy.

02

Coordinated design

Articulate envelope with ventilation, HVAC and regulatory constraints.

03

Delivery oversight

Secure airtightness, thermal bridges and quality on site.

04

Performance verification

Structure post-works verification and integration into operational steering.

Scope of intervention

Envelope & insulation capabilities.

Insulation strategies

External and internal insulation strategies adapted to the asset's typology.

Façade & roof works

Structuring of façade and roof renovation programmes.

Airtightness & thermal bridges

Design and verification of airtightness and thermal bridge treatment.

Openings & glazing

Optimisation of glazing, openings and solar protection strategies.

Regulatory alignment

Articulation with tertiary decree, regulation thermique and certification frameworks.

Post-works verification

Definition of verification protocols and integration into monitoring.

Methodology

Envelope work, applied through our six-phase framework.

Every envelope engagement follows the same six-phase sequence — from passive performance assessment through to long-term verification.

01

Assessment

Diagnostic of envelope performance, ventilation logic and constraints.

02

Strategy

Definition of envelope strategy aligned with the asset trajectory.

03

Planning

Sequencing of studies, procurement and works phasing.

04

Execution

Coordination of works, with discipline on airtightness and bridges.

05

Monitoring

Verification of as-built performance and integration into steering.

06 · Continuous improvement

Feedback loops into the broader asset and portfolio strategy.

Expected outcomes

Qualitative outcomes.

01

Coherent design

Envelope explicitly articulated with ventilation, HVAC and regulation.

02

Delivery quality

Discipline on airtightness, thermal bridges and as-built quality.

03

Regulatory posture

A documented contribution to tertiary decree and adjacent obligations.

04

Long-term value

Passive performance integrated into ongoing operational steering.
