Meeting with the technical experts on March 3rd

Hi @reef-coordination

As I cannot be present during the meeting, i listed some questions related to the heath pump solutions presented by Wa.L.K.

The questions and heath pump solutions presented by Wa.L.K can be found under TB/Avant-projet/Bureau d’études/Heath pumps.

@els You’re asking important questions, also regarding the total cost of ownership, i.e., the cost over the lifetime of The Reef. @Sophie_B, may I suggest sending these question ahead of time?

Quick debrief of the meeting:

  • Walk: they will try to make a comparison between the different options based on life cycle costs. The architects also asked some additional technical questions. The eventual deliverable will be a table like the one we have seen, though more Reef-specific.

  • Matriche: the plans we received compare “CLT” (cross-laminated timber aka wood skeleton) with a traditional brick and mortar structure. The challenges of CLT are accoustics, stability and costs. They first two can be addressed by going for a mix of concrete and metal, for the second they will now have a look at whether it is possible to use less CLT to achieve the same carrying capacity.

As a follow-up I have sent a quick update along the same lines to the Sustainability Facilitator, using our protonmail account. Joannes sent Els’ questions on heat pumps using Edgeryders.

Next meeting: 14/03 at 12 pm
