What is SMOME?
SMOME is a French manufacturer and builder specializing in passive homes. Their approach? Designing and constructing habitats that are either passive or low-consumption, delivering top-notch comfort and thermal performance. The magic lies in their use of solid wood, wood-derived products, and wood fiber insulation for walls, floors, and ceilings. This choice not only ensures cozy living spaces but also aligns perfectly with the RE2020 regulation. Plus, SMOME’s innovative modular construction system means components are produced off-site in a factory, then transported and assembled directly on-site. This off-site production method streamlines the building process, cutting down on-site intervention time and boosting overall efficiency.
Main Benefits of SMOME’s Approach
Here’s what sets SMOME apart:
- High thermal performance with potential PHPP certification from the Passivhaus Institut in Germany and Maison Passive in France.
- Off-site modular production optimizes construction timelines and reduces weather-related delays.
- Eco-responsible building using natural, bio-sourced materials to minimize carbon footprint.
- Innovative construction system offering a great quality-price ratio through industrialized production.
- Experienced team ensuring mastery over design, production, costs, and deadlines.
- Winner of the ADEME 2018 competition for environmental performance in buildings.
- Certified GREENTECH INNOVATION by the French Ministry of Ecological Transition.
- Recipient of the special jury prize from FIBOIS 2018.
Eco-Responsibility at the Core
SMOME doesn’t just build houses; they build with the planet in mind. Their eco-responsible approach tackles today’s environmental challenges head-on. By prioritizing natural and bio-sourced materials, they reduce the carbon footprint of each project. This commitment means every habitat respects what Earth naturally offers, contributing to the preservation of both humanity and the environment. It’s not just about energy efficiency — it’s about a holistic respect for the planet.
Innovative Modular Construction System
The heart of SMOME’s efficiency lies in their modular construction system. Components are crafted off-site in controlled factory conditions, which means better quality control and less exposure to unpredictable weather. This off-site production also speeds up the overall timeline — less time on-site means fewer disruptions and a smoother build process. The modular design allows for flexibility and precision, ensuring each project meets specific needs without compromising on speed or quality.
Compliance and Certification Excellence
Every SMOME construction complies with the stringent RE2020 regulation, ensuring energy efficiency and sustainability. Depending on the project’s orientation, compactness, and solar shading, SMOME’s solutions can reach the highest thermal performance levels, earning the coveted PHPP certification from the Passivhaus Institut. This dual recognition from both French and German passive house standards underscores SMOME’s commitment to excellence and innovation in sustainable building.
Project Impact on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
- SDG 7: Affordable and Clean Energy – through energy-efficient passive homes.
- SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities – by promoting eco-friendly, low-consumption habitats.
- SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production – via use of bio-sourced, natural materials.
- SDG 13: Climate Action – reducing carbon footprint through sustainable construction methods.
- SDG 15: Life on Land – supporting sustainable forestry and natural resource management.
Mastery of Design and Production Costs
SMOME’s strength also lies in its control over every stage of the construction process. From design to production, implementation, and delivery, costs and deadlines are tightly managed. This mastery ensures clients get the best value without surprises. The company’s partnerships with leading suppliers guarantee high-quality materials, reinforcing the durability and performance of each habitat. It’s a seamless chain of value, guaranteeing efficiency and reliability from start to finish.
