July 04 SUSTAINABLE CONSTRUCTION: WHAT SOLUTIONS TO ADOPT?
Environmental impact of the sector building is important at the level of the phase of costs but also during the phase of'occupation. In fact, it represents 43% of energy consumption French annuals and generates 23% of greenhouse gas emissions French according to the site ecology.gouv.
Construction industry players must therefore work to improve the energy performance of buildings et reduce their carbon footprint. It is the objective of the sustainable construction or eco-construction which aims for a high level of performance in environmental and societal matters for buildings.
The benefits sustainable construction:
- Preserving the environment and resources
- A healthy environment for occupants
- Reduced energy consumption
HOW TO DESIGN AN ECO-RESPONSIBLE PROJECT?
1. CHOOSE ECO-RESPONSIBLE, NON-POLLUTATING MATERIALS:
The construction materials sectors biosourced, raw earth and dry stone develop and participate in the development of eco-construction. Bio-sourced materials have many advantages : a very long lifetime, an ability to store carbon and, simultaneously, a reduction in energy consumption during use. Their impact on the carbon footprint of buildings is effective from the moment of construction.
There is a wide choice of ecological materials, biosourced and geosourced for construction, insulation and decoration of buildings.
