Construction is one of the most energy-consuming industries and features among the main contributors to greenhouse gas emissions in France. The guidelines put forward and commitments made during the "Grenelle de l’Environnement" are clearly focused on this business sector.
When defining their asset strategies, all property owners (social landlords, territorial and local authorities, administrations, private companies and so on) now have to make sustainable development an integral part of them:
- Environmental aspect: energy performance, waste management, water management, integration into the site.
- Social aspect: adaptation to ageing and handicapped persons, the health and comfort of residents, taking account of new lifestyles.
- Economic aspect: consistency between the guidelines and actions decided on and the financial standing of the company, in a life-cycle costing approach (investment costs, deferred costs, occupancy costs), fight against the waste of resources.
Concerning social landlords: you can put the updating of your strategic asset plan to good use by integrating a new analysis approach dedicated to sustainable development.
We will help you to define the appropriate criteria, collect the information and analyse your assets from this new angle.
