“Titan West” project to reduce our energy consumption

TERREAL has invested 6.4 million euro for the 2020 phase of the TITAN West project at its sites based in Nouvelle-Aquitaine. Eager to develop its activities while limiting its environmental impact, TERREAL is committed to reducing its greenhouse gas emissions. The Group has therefore just entered into a large-scale partnership with the Nouvelle-Aquitaine Region to modernize its production equipment in Roumazières, Montpon and Chasseneuil.

Rehabilitate 96 hectares of land into photovoltaic power plants

TERREAL France has entrusted TotalEnergies Renewables to convert 8 sites, including former quarries, into ground-mounted photovoltaic power plants, for 2024. With this partnership, TERREAL affirms its ambitions to offset 100% of its electricity consumption by producing renewable energy on its fields.

What is meant by eco-friendly construction?

To achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, the construction industry is now using environmentally friendly building materials in new buildings. With the RE2020 regulation entering into force on 1 January 2022, eco-friendly construction is becoming the norm. Building an eco-friendly house has many advantages for its occupants, but also for the environment. Not only are these houses nice to live in, they are designed to minimise dependence on external energy and provide high levels of thermal comfort throughout the year.

Everything you need to know about RE2020 regulations

The RE2020 regulations came into force at the beginning of 2022. They have been put in place to gradually replace RT2012 by setting more ambitious targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions from new public and residential buildings, during their construction as well as their use. The RE2020 regulations also take adapting the building to climatic conditions into account.

Tiles and insulation

Renovate & maintain

Thermal roof insulation

Good thermal roof insulation significantly reduces heat loss. Choosing the best thermal roof insulation provides optimum external heat insulation and improves the thermal performance of your building. A well-insulated building is a guarantee of longevity and durability.

The Terreal solar offer for individuals

For more than 10 years, Terreal and its subsidiary GSE Integration have been developing a complete range of innovative and patented solar roofing solutions for residential use. These solutions are compatible with any architectural decision or style of roof, as well as with all the roofing tiles and slates available on the market, in terms of waterproofing, integration and aesthetics.

What maintenance do solar panels need?

Maintaining your solar panels is easy, but they must be cleaned regularly and following certain rules, particularly with regard to safety. Economical and resistant, photovoltaic panels must be cleaned on average twice a year, following a few precautions to avoid damaging them.
