Resulting from an integrated design process, the project aimed to minimize the impact of its establishment in its natural environment as well as to optimize its performance both ecologically and energetically. The design allowed a reduction in energy consumption of almost 60% according to the standards of the MNECB. Also, through the use of low-flow plumbing fixtures, dual flush toilets and waterless urinals, drinking water consumption has been reduced by 40% compared to a comparable standard building. For space heating, in combination with passive solar, hydrothermal energy was used. Temperature probes were installed around the exchanger submerged in the lake to confirm that the hydrothermal system works as expected. The position of the opening windows has been studied in order to maximize natural ventilation and when the weather conditions do not allow it, a displacement ventilation system with heat exchanger operates.
