Commissioning for real energy performance
Commissioning is a process focused on anticipating quality for the benefit of operations. It is a management tool designed to achieve real energy savings while reducing building operating costs.
When acoustics lend an ear to biodiversity.
In the shadow of climate change, there's a subject that gets far less media coverage than global warming, but which could make a big splash. It's the state of sound on our planet, and in particular in the living world. There's no such thing as silence on Earth; noise is constantly being heard. Sometimes a source of annoyance, noise is above all a vector of information as surprising as it is varied.

Decree Tertiary and Real Estate Asset Management: Meeting the first deadline and integrating this new regulatory requirement into asset management
The 2021 deadline has been simplified, but it's getting closer!
By 09/30/2021, commercial buildings with more than 1,000m² floor area will have had to meet the first deadline of the Tertiary Eco Energy Scheme (DEET - formerly the Tertiary Decree), i.e. their initialization on the government platform OPERAT. Gone is the selection of the reference period, pushed back to September 2022 at the latest.
Decarbonization of real estate: a tool to meet the objectives of the Paris Climate Agreement?
The CRREM project has built a scientific tool for assessing decarbonization trajectories consistent with the APC objectives.
Acoustics and noise in the era of low-carbon and energy transition
Driven primarily by the challenges of sustainable development, low-carbon and societal concerns, wood construction is on the increase in the design of new and renovation programs, whatever the purpose (housing, offices, hotels, cultural facilities). From an acoustic point of view, these new complexes in the French construction landscape raise a number of questions.
Zero Net Artificialization
Soil artificialisation is a major issue of public debate and political concern, especially in France. In fact, in October 2015, soil artificialisation was included in the 10 new wealth indicators established by the Government to monitor its public policies. The following year, in August 2016, the Law for the Reconquest of Biodiversity, Nature and Landscapes was adopted, with the aim of avoiding, reducing and compensating (ERC sequence) for the negative impacts of human activities on the environment.
A new standard focused on carbon issues
BRE (Building Research Establishment) had announced it: by May 4, 2021, assets will no longer be able to be certified to the 2015 version of the Breeam in-Use International Standard.
The Breeam in-Use International V6 standard, launched in May 2020, will now be the rule for all.
