LIFE Ecoxia’s timber buildings cut energy use and secure €3 million in future sales
A high-performing daycare centre built near Paris using the timber-based construction system developed under the LIFE SBE4LCHCB project – and now commercialised by Ecoxia - has achieved an 80% reduction in energy consumption, despite rising energy prices. This success story contributes to the French SME’s projected €3 million in sales for 2025 and 2026, representing a significant step towards broader market adoption.Daycare centre cuts energy use by 80%The daycare centre, built near Paris fou...

This success story contributes to the French SME’s projected €3 million in sales for 2025 and 2026, representing a significant step towards broader market adoption.Daycare centre cuts energy use by 80%The daycare centre, built near Paris four years ago, is a standout project in Ecoxia’s portfolio. Using the project’s prefabricated timber system, the building was able to meet Passive House standards (a rigorous set of building criteria that prioritise energy efficiency and thermal comfort by minimising heating and cooling needs) and delivered impressive real-world results.“In 2021, we delivered a new daycare centre near Paris. The city told us they cut their energy use to one-fifth of what it was in their old building. Even though energy prices rose by more than five times, they still saved a lot of money because the new building is so energy efficient,” explains Olivier Riscala, Managing Director of Ecoxia.In addition, the client praised the building’s thermal comfort, natural light and acoustic quality, all essential features for a space used by children and educators.From private homes to public sector growthBefore joining the LIFE Programme, Ecoxia was focused on family homes of around 100 square meters.
