For a sustainable future in sport

SMC2 designs buildings that are integrated into a realistic environmental approach. By combining an exclusive construction principle with low ecological impact materials, SMC2 limits waste and overconsumption in order to safeguard our planet and provide a setting for practising sport regularly under optimal conditions.

• Energy control, both in construction and in operation
SMC2 has succeeded in reducing the density of the construction materials used and, therefore, the energy needed for manufacturing them. Structures are also designed for reducing energy costs for energy when in operation. A temperate comfortable atmosphere for practising sport is maintained by the membrane’s low thermal inertia. Therefore heating is no longer essential. Idem for lighting: during day-time, the translucent membrane enables sunlight to be used instead of electricity.

• Ecological materials
Wood forms the largest part of SMC2 structures. The only material with a negative CO2 balance, wood does not contribute to increasing the greenhouse effect. Even better: its transformation into a building product requires 130 times less energy than aluminium and 60 times less than steel. SMC2 exclusively uses European wood from sustainably managed forests. As for the other materials used, they are 100% recyclable, notably the textile membrane that is reconditioned using a special process.
