De Bonne is the new eco-neighbourhood of Grenoble built on 8,5 hectares of land previously occupied by barracks.
De Bonne is situated near the city centre and is meant to provide 850 apartments out of which 35%-40 % represent social housing; 15 000 m2 of commerce, leisure and services consisting of 30 new shops, 6000 m² of new and refurbished office buildings and a 3 stars hotel. De Bonne includes a primary school and a school restaurant, a student hostel and a home for elderly people.
At the heart of this new district there is a 5 hectares green area consisting of lovely parks and gardens.
The project started in 2001 and included from the very beginning close cooperation with all stakeholders: urban planners, constructors, district unions and associations as well as inhabitants of Grenoble. In 2010, the whole area will be a lively new neighbourhood and will be part of Grenoble city center.
De Bonne is a well-planned area including highly efficient dwellings (bio climatic construction materials and methods, integrated solar panels and optimised building envelope) and 8 mini natural gas co-generation plants located in the residential area. The aim is to reach 30-40% less energy consumption than the applicable building standards and far below the current French regulation. Furthermore, a 1600m² tertiary building will be constructed as a positive energy building (producing more energy than it consumes).
De Bonne is part of the European CONCERTO Sesac project.
