VILOGIA PERPETUATES COMPANY HOLDINGS THROUGH BETTER ENERGY MANAGEMENT

In compliance with 2014 European regulations, Vilogia made an energy audit in 2015 on a panel from the housing pool. In addition to being a simple diagnosis of energy performance, it provided a valuable overall thermal study. The audit also concerned user behavior and the operation of installations, which allowed Vilogia to orient its improvement strategy, not only on technical aspects, but also on management of the corresponding contracts and support for tenants in the use of their lodgings. The rehabilitation also includes controlling the carbon footprint.

To improve the thermal condition of the housing units, different types of work can be done: insulation and sealing of the roof, insulation and protection of the façade, improvement of outside woodwork, insulation of the floor slab, regulation of the heating and hot water networks, creation or improvement of simple flow ventilation, etc.

Vilogia is also a partner of EnergieSprong, a new "zero energy" system for renewing housing. EnergieSprong primarily aims to pinpoint the pest products for renovation to enable housing units to reach a "zero energy" level, which is a passive level coupled to a production of renewable energy. Other advantages for the residents were achieved by industrializing the solutions: renovations take no more than a week, come with a thirty-year energy performance warranty and greatly improve the environment inside the home! Finally, renovations considerably improve the way the home looks.
