Insulation

Hi there! Not sure where to ask the question, but i wonder what are the choices in terms of insulation? I talked to somebody yesterday would said that natural insulant are much better to avoid over-heating in the summer (but still good in the winter), I wondered if that’s what we are going for?

We don’t know yet. The architects will ask prices for different types of insulation during the call for tender, and then it will be up to us to make the choice considering the quality, sustainability and price.

@Sarah @Lee

the way I understood it (and i have the impression i misunderstood) from this presentation, p2, is that - if the natural insulation- is +/- plus 10,000 euro we will switch to natural insulation, but we need to wait for the call for tenders to know the price-surplus.

Correct, or what does it mean on p3 the +10.000?

@Sarah : what now is foreseen in the estimation by the architects is a mineral insultation (lain de roche/laine de verre).

It is listed in that document as a decision to be taken. This means we will wait for the results of the call for tender, and then put all the mini choices like this together and make a collective decision.

I’ve prepared a proposal to add extra budget to foresee a bio based insulation material instead of a mineral insulation material.

One thing to be confirmed by francois is the extra cost.

Can anybody review?

I did. I left a change to the text of the proposal in yellow, suggesting to consent only to the budget increase. The reasoning is that I am feeling a bit reluctant to consent to so much detail at this stage. I would prefer to first hear from the architects, which I imagine we can do at the call for tender stage.

I don’t get what it is exactly you want to leave open.

This proposal is about consenting to a budget. The rest is a justification of this budget (which i guess you refer to as 'so much detail) and why we would want to spend this extra budget, so I think I agree, but I don’t fully understand…

It’s the text in yellow, just to make clear that this is not a decision yet about which type of insulation we are choosing.

Also, just for the sake of completeness: the question about insulation was already asked to the architects on 22/04. This is the interest of taking notes during the meetings, and keeping them all in one document.

i made an update of the proposal, changing it to an extra 25% (instead of 1/3)

Hi @els , thanks for this!
Not sure if that’s still relevant or not, but I just made a comment about flammability…
