Building and construction

The construction sector is one of the most impacted by sustainable development challenges and one of the most advanced in terms of integrating life cycle thinking

The construction sector and its numerous regulations

This sector is responsible for approximately 40% of primary energy consumption and 36% of greenhouse gas emissions in Europe.

In the face of these challenges, builders are forced to rethink their practices to comply with stricter standards. This involves adopting sustainable materials, integrating innovative technologies, and designing energy-efficient structures, limiting the environmental impacts of new construction, managing resource depletion, and effectively handling construction waste.

The construction and public works sector is strictly regulated and standardized to ensure the safety, quality, and sustainability of buildings (EN 15804+A2 Standard, RE2020, DEP, Construction Products Regulation)
