Natural porous media for green housing
One of the strong features of the city of Nantes and the academic institutions supporting InterPore2026, is their commitment to promoting sustainable development for a better world. The study of the thermal, fluidic and mechanical behaviour of bio- and geo-sourced porous media for the construction of green buildings and urban neighbourhoods is one of the original research projects that has emerged in recent years. In this session, we will cover aspects related to the characterisation and modelling of physico-chemical behaviours, as well as the temporal study of the ageing of these natural media at the scale of test buildings and the analysis of their life cycle.
