Eco Factor: Sustainable school building powered by onboard solar panels.
Mikou Design Studio has unveiled the design of a zero energy public school to be built in the City of Saint-Ouen. The zero energy development has been designed in order to be emblematic of the sustainable development of the Zac des Docks project. The development, expected to be complete by 2013, will be built at a cost of €11 million.
The building’s positioning facilitated a south-facing orientation of all the classrooms and playground in order to make the best use of passive solar energy. The spatial disposition also made it possible to increase the surface area on the south required for photovoltaic panels, which have been integrated into the architecture of the covered playground areas.
