COMPANY PROFILE

Sud Ecowatt is a french cleantech company developing a system which can cover up to 60% of heating needs and 80% of hot water. Sud Ecowatt is an engineering firm specializing in the development of renewable energy in housing and industry. The company was founded in 2006 by Bruno Meignan INSA engineer, engineering, energy. Unlike solar heating as can be offered on the market, SudEcowatt developed an innovative concept (Sud Ecowall) of independent heating adapted themselves to the constraints of solar energy. The young company has developed in partnership with ICAM Toulouse, a wall heater in brick flood large thermal inertia driven by an hydraulic system powered by heat from the photovoltaic sensors.

An INNOVATIVE SOLAR / WALL

In new construction or renovation, the wall may come dubbing associated with exterior wall insulation or partition thus avoiding the creation of unsightly radiators. For a room or a house, technically, is the loss of about 100m2 for 8Kw, it will move to 3-4 Kw … If several domestic renewable energy are proposed, one related to the solar stands fast with new applications and research. 

With Sud Ecowall innovation, the emitter of heat is a wall of clay brick. Already recognized as a product with high thermal inertia, are implanted in the middle of the walls of a pipe network for the exchange of heat directly supplied by a solar collector array.  

Sud Ecowatt has developed a solar heating system directly involving environmentally friendly materials and solar technology.

 The emitter of heat is a wall of mud brick raw material requiring less energy to manufacture and  enjoying a remarkable thermal inertia. With a local brickmaker, Sud Ecowatt has developed a  principle of montage to make active the brick wall by turning it into heat emitter very low  temperature. By associating a field of solar wall plays the role of energy storage on the day to  restore gradually the rest of the day.

Sud Ecowatt climbed a wall in a home cookie timber frame solution particularly suited to this type of construction due to its low thermal inertia.The proposed system can then cover up to 60% of heating needs and 80% of hot water. Regulating humidity of the house is through the natural capacity of the raw clay to absorb and return of moisture.This material may eventually be covered with lime plaster enabling it to maintain performance and seamless integration with the building.

ADDED VALUE

Already recognized as a product with high thermal inertia, are implanted in the middle of the walls of a pipe network for the exchange of heat directly supplied by a solar collector array. The wall plays the role of solar energy storage on the day and radiating heat emitter for heating by a control system adapted. Coupled with a solar balloon, then the system can produce, beyond the heating, hot water. This concept allows a maximum value of solar energy captured by a simple hydraulic network and its operation at very low temperatures and meets the requirements of the HQE (High Environmental Quality).

SUD ECOWATT AMBITION

Several walls are being built in the outskirts of Montauban in private. Sud Ecowatt was selected from several operations on new construction of family housing for the realization of such walls radiating in Gaillac.  The company is now accelerating its development and is spirited to file patents in the coming months.
