Come and meet researchers at La Clé in Faverges-Seythenex on September 27!
Far from the institutional framework of the university and its research laboratories, come and meet the researchers at the Communauté de Communes des Sources du Lac d'Annecy, in Faverges-Seythenex! It's a great opportunity to talk to scientists from all disciplines, on the theme of "How to decarbonize buildings". An interactive stand and a fascinating conference await you!
The program
6 to 8 p.m. - Interactive stand: " My researcher's suitcase: which systems ensure a good atmosphere?"
By Florine Giraud, teacher-researcher in the LOCIE laboratory
"I've just returned from a trip and I'd like to reveal the contents of my luggage: paper, water, marbles, valves, pipes... Can you define the objects essential to my research and guess their purpose?"
Florine Giraud began her career as a teacher-researcher at the Conservatoire National des Arts et Métiers in Paris. She is currently a lecturer in energy at the Laboratoire procédés énergie bâtiment (LOCIE). Her research focuses mainly on the decarbonization of energy systems.
Starting at 7pm - Conference: " Transition to low-carbon construction
By Christophe Ménézo, teacher-researcher at the LOCIE laboratory
Decarbonizing the building sector is crucial to combating climate change, as this sector is responsible for a large proportion of CO₂ emissions and therefore inherently have a high carbon content. Concrete and steel, commonly used materials, are particularly energy-intensive to produce and high emitters of greenhouse gases. Against a backdrop of efforts to improve the energy efficiency of buildings, the "carbon weight" of building structures is all the more significant. To reduce these emissions, we need to adopt alternative materials such as wood, raw earth bricks and bio-sourced composites. These materials have a much smaller carbon footprint. What's more, they often offer advantages in terms of thermal insulation and energy efficiency, contributing to a more sustainable and environmentally-friendly building life cycle.
Christophe Ménézo is a teacher-researcher and director of the Building Energy Process Laboratory (LOCIE) at USMB. His research, originally focused on building physics, soon turned to solar energy. He is deputy director of the EUR Solar Academy Graduate School (USMB/CNRS/CEA) and of the CITEE cross-border chair in energy efficiency (USMB/HES Hepia/University of Geneva).
