The National Union of Economists of the Construction Industry in France and EDF signed a partnership to contribute jointly to improving the energy performance of buildings. Economists accompany construction projects to renovate buildings, to optimise cost, quality and timeliness of design and production operations. Guarantors of budget estimates, they work with builders or contractors to provide input at various stages of projects.
The partners plan to promote:
- Training of construction economists on energy efficiency in buildings,
- Informing and educating clients to renovate their heritage and sustainably manage their energy consumption and their budgets,
- Advocating envelopes and materials using less energy and more environmentally friendly in terms of CO2 emissions,
- The choice of solutions to better manage energy consumption and enhance the flexibility of consumption,
Innovative approaches, relying on tools for assessing the energy performance in order to select the most relevant works. These approaches take into account the reduction of energy consumption, changes in asset values measured by the EPC (Energy Performance Certificate), the profitability of work packages and user comfort.
