Presentation IBE

Background

The gradual rise in awareness of today’s environmental challenges are leading to the development of new standards and objectives for reducing the environmental impact and energy consumption of buildings.

The target of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by a factor of four in 40 years is a major challenge for buildings, which account for 45% of energy consumption in France.

Objectives

The purpose of the course is to help people involved in real estate and building to work together – the only way they will in practice be able to achieve high energy efficiency levels, whilst controlling costs and obtaining public acceptance.
