Yes to Symbiose, the electronics factory of the future - Episode 4 The Environmental Approach
LACROIX Electronics
How should Symbiose, LACROIX’s future electronics factory, be built to take its energy impact into account? That is the question addressed in this 4th episode of the “Yes to Symbiose” web series, all about the environmental aspect of the project. An HQE (High Environmental Quality) building, water and energy management with the Environment Activity, work with national electricity company EDF, etc.
A sporting and musical episode to talk about the environmental approach of Symbiose!

The environmental approach described in exchanges with 3 different people
In this episode, actor Jérémy Sanaghéal takes a look at environmental innovation, the 3rd major pillar of the Symbiose project. So he puts on his sports kit and sets off to meet Sophie, Cacharel and Guillaume.
Part 1: Sophie Terrier on High Environmental Quality buildings
Wearing a harness and a safety helmet, Jérémy scales the side of the building and reaches the “Mauges rooftops”, the roof of the Symbiose factory. Here, Sophie Terrier meets him to talk about the 4 key factors in this HQE building, which are:
- Solar energy production through the installation of 10,000 m² of solar panels (and charging points for electric cars)
- Centralized management of heating with reversible air conditioning and thermal insulation using the latest technologies
- An LED lighting device that adjusts lighting in workshops
- A rainwater harvesting system for watering green spaces and supplying toilets
Symbiose is the opportunity to heighten our environmental responsibility. All of the equipment in the future factory is designed to harness our energy better and make sure that everyone’s comfortable.
Part 2: Management of water and energy infrastructure with Cacharel Miaka
Jérémy continues his adventure with Cacharel Miaka… on electric scooters! Cacharel shows Jérémy how the scooter works, and then invites him to discover the 2 flagship products of the Environment activity of LACROIX dedicated to water and energy management.
- The S4TH, a remote control device for technical management of buildings
- The LTUS, a data logger for monitoring the level of rainwater in the collection basin
In the Symbiose project, we have been working in tandem with the Electronics activity of LACROIX to deploy the Environment activity products with a view to improving the environmental performance of the future production plant.
Part 3: Cooperation between EDF and LACROIX with Guillaume Lelong
“I can’t, I’ve got biking to do!” Jérémy gets on an exercise bike to continue his adventure with Guillaume Lelong. Via videoconference, Guillaume tells him how EDF and LACROIX started working together, and about the technical solutions adopted for Symbiose.
The factory of the future is energy efficient and low carbon. So for Symbiose, we thought up solutions for producing energy using solar panels on carports and on the roof. They will produce the equivalent consumption of 350 average households in France!
Using technological advances, the Electronics activity of LACROIX has combined a whole host of solutions to cut its energy consumption and even produce energy! By promoting these kinds of initiatives, the sector will become more and more respectful of the environment.
