Insulation of Jackson's XPS in Passive House Extension
The Institut Européen de Formation, a renowned vocational school in France, has recently expanded its premises with an extension designed to meet the passive house standard. This extension, a main body of wooden frames connecting three distinctive units, was planned and implemented by Elie Bouche, an architecture firm from Rogna in the Jura department.
The Jackodur Atlas System from Jackon Insulation by Bewi played a significant role in achieving this energy-efficient standard. The system, known for its durability, dimensionally stability, rot resistance, and moisture resistance, was installed across an area of 516 m². Remarkably, the insulation was reportedly executed without thermal bridges, a testament to the system's effectiveness.
The installation process was supported by a team from Jackon Insulation by Bewi. Despite adverse weather conditions, the punctual delivery and easy installation of Jackodur Atlas allowed the project to stick to its schedule. The edge elements of Jackodur Atlas were made to measure and delivered for quick installation, further facilitating the construction process.
Fitting pieces of the surface still need to be cut to size, for example with a hot wire cutting device. However, the simplicity of the plugging together mechanism of Jackodur Atlas ensures quick installation, making it an ideal choice for construction sites.
The architectural firm Compagnons du Tour de France in Mouchard, Jura, was instrumental in the design of the extension. Not only does the firm operate a training facility for sustainable building and woodworking techniques in the region, but it also contributed to the project by providing effective thermal insulation, enhancing energy efficiency and comfort.
While the extension does not provide information about the availability or use of job platforms like JiGuB.de or ABZ Job Market, it is worth noting that the training programs at the Institut Européen de Formation last for two or three school years, with alternating presence phases at the institute and construction companies. This practical approach to learning ensures that students gain hands-on experience, preparing them for future careers in the construction industry.
For those interested in staying updated on this topic, further information can be found on the school's website or by following the Compagnons du Tour de France on social media platforms. The expansion of the Institut Européen de Formation is a testament to the growing demand for various qualification courses, necessitating an expansion of the teaching capacity. The use of innovative and efficient systems like the Jackodur Atlas System from Jackon Insulation by Bewi is a step towards sustainable and energy-efficient construction, setting a positive example for future projects.
