Grand Palais, Paris

The Grand Palais is a landmark in the heart of Paris, close to the Champs-Elysées. The building was constructed for the 1900 Universal Exhibition, and has always been dedicated to culture. Its 77,000 m² are regularly used as a venue for various fairs and exhibitions. The Grand Palais recently underwent its first comprehensive restoration since 1900, and reopened for the summer 2024 sporting events to host the fencing and taekwondo events in its legendary Nave.

Why Distech Controls solutions?

The ECLYPSE solution from Distech Controls provides air treatment for the Grand Palais, in the Nave and the annexes. What's more, the ECY-S1000 connected modular controllers are linked directly to a weather station, enabling a night-time free cooling system to be activated when conditions are right. As soon as the air outside is colder than the air inside, the glazed windows in the Nave open to let in outside air, providing free cooling and air renewal, resulting in significant energy savings. The ECLYPSE solution for technical rooms can also be used to cool computer cabinets and distribute cold, thanks to the ECY-S1000 modular connected controllers.

The DC Space solution was also deployed in the dressing rooms and offices of the Grand Palais. This multi-business management solution enables occupants to easily adjust their comfort settings (lighting and blinds) using Uniwave's sleek Allure remote controls.

Finally, the Palais d'Antin is also equipped with Distech Controls solutions, to guarantee the continuity of the BMS system within these two adjoining monuments.
