Cheminées Poujoulat's Réno VMC-Gaz renovation solution rewarded with an Innovation Award

The Grand Jury also awarded a special mention to Cheminées Poujoulat in the transversal category “Living well in the City in 2050” for this solution for adapting to VMC gas installations. The award ceremony will take place during the next edition of the Interclima show from October 3 to 6, 2022, which will return to Porte de Versailles in Paris.

Only solution on the market for replacing a CMV-Gas appliance with a high-performance condensing boiler (THPE)

Several hundred thousand collective dwellings are equipped with gas boilers on VMC-Gaz in France, an equipment in vogue in the 1980s.

Since September 2015, the European Eco-design Directive has required increasingly high efficiency for gas equipment, requiring the use of condensing boilers.

But with a major problem to solve for professionals: adapt the old VMC-Gas ducts which do not support the induced effects of THPE generators.

Already armed with several solutions for the renovation and adaptation of collective and individual ducts, whether for the evacuation of combustion products or ventilation (Airflue Rénovation, Rénoshunt, 3CE P Multi+), Cheminées Poujoulat unveils a new innovation: Réno VMC-Gaz.

This system, unique of its kind to date, makes it possible to replace an inefficient CMV-Gas device with a THPE condensing boiler in collective housing, in order to save energy.

It consists of individual stainless steel flue pipes and a terminal mounted on the roof on each exhaust column to evacuate the combustion products and provide the air extraction necessary for the ventilation of the dwellings.

Réno VMC-Gaz is a patented solution awaiting ATEx validation.

Ease and speed of implementation

Réno VMC-Gaz is also distinguished by the fact that the system is based on the existing technical framework.

The key: limited work, reduced speed of implementation and less inconvenience for the inhabitants. And of course, the VMC is kept in the accommodation.

Last asset: the installation can be individualized, housing by housing, a primordial factor within the framework of a joint ownership!

Réno VMC-Gaz will be available from the end of 2022.

An innovation to discover on the Cheminées Poujoulat stand - Pavilion 3 / Stand F112 - during the Interclima show from October 3 to 6, 2022, as well as on the Batimat Innovation space located in the heart of Pavilion 1.
