An innovative system to build
the city of today and tomorrow
The building & construction sector is in the forefront to
take up two major challenges: providing decent housing for
ever more inhabitants at affordable cost, and minimizing
the environmental impact of such construction. The sector
is the biggest greenhouse-gas emitter in France and the
other developed countries. It is also consumes the most
natural resources, both raw materials and primary energy.
The idea behind Wall E+, an innovative building system for
walls and façades, is to take advantage of the potential of
composites in the building sector, which has so far ignored
these materials.

T

he CompoHouse demonstration building was inaugurated in Mettray, France on
13 June of this year. Made of composite materials with high environmental performance, it is the result
of an innovative brainstorming
project on how to build differently by starting from zero to refocus
specifications on the following key
ideas:
-- using truly industrial composite
processing technologies like pultrusion;
-- perfecting formulations that are
specifically adapted to these constraints;
-- opting for functional integration
in designs;
-- exploiting solar energy;
-- minimizing the consumption of
primary resources and reducing
the carbon footprint.
The Wall E+ building system is
currently the subject of an ATEx
(Appréciation Technique d'Expérimentation) technical assessment. The Caerostris holding was
created in late 2018 to enable the
industrial development of this

building called CompoHouse.

multiple functions (in particular
energy recovery systems); and industrial prefabrication.

The Wall E+ building system
Hollow blocks/profiles are used
for the structural wall for residential home construction, and for
self-supporting external insulation
wall panelling that covers up to
two upper stories for apartment
buildings. These function fully as
the building's envelope, integrating
siding and active/inactive technical equipment like energy recovery
systems, plant cover, etc. It is perfectly leak tight, so it can receive
any type of insulating material.
The prefab modules are installed
and joined together. The extremely thin joints between the panels
help to considerably minimize the
thermal bridge effect compared
to standard wood, concrete, concrete-block and brick construction.
The Wall E+ system is a breakthrough innovation that features

Pultrusion: These days, pultrusion
is certainly the most promising
technology for producing polymer-matrix composites in building & construction. It is the only
continuous process, and it makes it
possible to obtain profiles at lower
prices than any other converting
process.
Reinforcement contents of up to
70% guarantee exceptional mechanical properties. It is also easy
