Abstract: Since Rio de Janeiro conference (1992), Kyoto protocol and agenda 21 definitions, the necessity of a reasonable development is currently admitted by scientific and political personalities. Recent COP21 conference in Paris confirmed the necessity of concrete actions for power saving and green gasses emission reduction. Building trade is one of the important contributors to green gasses emission and energy consumption. Thus, our academic project of “small scale greenhouse" was born in 2012 to show and to quantify this impact. After a short presentation of the small scale green house, an holistic approach of thermal performances and Carbon assessment is developed to demonstrate interest and ability of the small scale model. Experimental data are collected and a thermal modelling is proposed to study energy losses. Carbon assessment method is applied to our small scale house to quantify its contribution and to identify which actions can contribute to its improvement. The transdisciplinary aspects of this work are finally highlighted and some future evolutions are suggested.

Brief Biography of the Speaker: Ph. Dondon was born in Paris in 1960. He is a graduate from the High School of Electronic Engineers ENSEIRB Bordeaux, France. After his electronic engineer diploma in 1983, he worked 5 years as product manager and computer aided manufacturing (C.A.M) in the French radio-communication systems company T.R.T. Back to the IMS microelectronic laboratory of Bordeaux, he received his Ph D in microelectronic analogue design in 1992. Member of the power electronic assembly design team, he worked on power circuits test and characterisation for a few years. He has more than 80 scientific papers in journal and conferences, one book, and took three patents. He is now teaching analogue electronic at ENSEIRB- MATMECA. Dr Ph. Dondon became active reviewer in World Scientific and Engineering Academy and Society (WSEAS) in 2006, then, editor within “WSEAS transaction journal in 2010. He is organizer and chair of many international conferences.
