What is ARCAS?
The objective of the ARCAS project is to develop a methodology for the evaluation and design of rehabilitation of buildings and groupings of collective buildings of social housing based on criteria of energy poverty, sustainability, energy efficiency and health in the Sudoe territory.
ARCAS is based on the use of similar climatology for the development of a tool that allows, through key indicators, the optimization of the architectural design of buildings.
Goals
- Develop a tool that makes the ARCAS method operational.
- Prepare an ARCAS certification procedure and carry out its validation in various buildings in the SUDOE territory.
- Develop reference criteria and indicators so that public administrations can improve future application regulations.
