La question de la question d'énergie dans les logements sociaux réhabilités. Pratiques et identité / Energy consumption in the thermal retrofitted social housing. Practices and identity

Roques, Patricia 10 June 2016 (has links)
Notre thèse tente de répondre à la question suivante : « Dans un contexte intégrant des caractéristiques identiques favorables à une réduction ou une modération de la consommation d’énergie domestique, celui du logement social locatif ayant fait l’objet d’un programme de réhabilitation thermique, tous les individus ont-ils des pratiques énergétiques semblables et quels sont les facteurs explicatifs de ces pratiques et de leurs possibles différences ? Dans un premier temps, considérant que l’on ne consomme pas de l’énergie pour elle-même mais pour produire un service par le moyen obligé d’un bien de service de l’énergie, nous avons identifié les pratiques des ménages en introduisant une classification selon qu’elles induisent une consommation ou, à l’inverse, une réduction de la consommation. A côté des pratiques d’acquisition d’équipement et de leur usage, nous avons également relevé des pratiques alternatives ou impliquant des tiers ayant pour effet induit une réduction de consommation. Dans un deuxième temps, nous avons repéré divers facteurs sous-tendant ces pratiques que nous avons regroupés en quatre catégories distinctes : l’identité y apparait comme centre intégrateur jouant un rôle clé. Sur ces bases, nous avons établi un profil pour chaque individu, rendant compte d’un alignement de caractéristiques favorables et défavorables à une réduction de consommation. Dans un troisième temps, nous avons pu repérer des similitudes entre profils, peu corrélées aux classifications statistiques habituelles, d’où nous avons extrapolé quatre types distincts. Ces fortes différences entre profils des individus, dont l’identité constitue le pivot, meten évidence la nécessité de leur prise en compte dans une perspective opérationnelle. Notre thèse interroge le modèle de consommation et de vie en société, ouvre des pistes vers la consolidation de l’efficacité énergétique, vers la sobriété en équipements, et l’enrichissement des identités sociales relationnelles. / This thesis aims to answer the following question: In a context integrating similar technical characteristics favorable to a reduction or moderation of household energy consumption, within a rental social housing project that was recently the object of a thermal rehabilitation program, do all the individuals display similar energy practices, and what are the explanatory factors for these practices and their differences, if any? Firstly, considering that energy is not consumed for itself but for producing a service by means of the consumption of various energy generating goods, we identified the household’s practices by introducing a classification of these practices according to whether they lead to an increase or to a reduction in consumption. Regarding practices of equipment acquisition and their use, we also have identified practices involving third parties as well as alternative practices leading to a reduction in consumption. Secondly, we identified various factors underlying these practices which we were able to group into four different categories among which identity appears as an integrating factor playing a key role. On these bases, we established a profile for each individual, showing a certain alignment of the characteristics that are either favorable or unfavorable to reduced consumption. Thirdly, we observed similarities between the profiles, weakly correlated with the usual statistical classifications, from which we have extrapolated four truly different types. These strong differences between individuals’ profiles, whose identity constitutes the pivot,highlights the importance of their consideration in an operational perspective. The thesis questions the pattern of consumption and life in our society and opens perspectives towards the consolidation of energy efficiency, towards moderation in equipment use, and towards the enrichment of relational social identities.

Thermal rehabilitation of Romanian housing: a low cost assessment tool

Cobirzan, N., Oltean-Dumbrava, Crina, Brumaru, M. January 2012 (has links)
The numerous buildings that currently require thermal rehabilitation in Romania means that substantial resources and a large number of competent people are required to carry out surveys and energy audits. However, commercial energy balance software is mostly unaffordable for those organisations involved in this process. This paper describes an energy balance programme – ENEFControl – developed to be a rapid, low cost, local tool able to assist in the choice of energy efficient solutions for buildings. To test the software, thermal and energy analyses were carried out on a 1970s built apartment block in Transylvania. Based on these analyses, three constructive scenarios were proposed for thermal rehabilitation. Compared to the performance of the analysed building, the thermal and energy performance of the retrofitted building in all three scenarios significantly improved. Since European Union accession in 2007, rapidly rising energy costs have affected the Romanian population. ENEFControl offers Romanian engineers and architects an opportunity to speed up the rehabilitation programme of buildings without the need for more expensive expertise and tools.
