In a context of energy efficiency and increasingly environmentally friendly buildings, the construction and public works sector must also commit to the sustainable renovation of existing buildings. Low-carbon buildings enable us to meet these challenges and regulatory constraints focused on energy efficiency and reducing environmental impact. Both their construction process and their performance meet sustainable development ambitions:

• Bio-based and geo-sourced materials are favoured in the construction and renovation of green buildings;
• Obtaining environmental certifications and labels enables companies to commit to a sustainable approach to environmental quality;
• Deconstruction and renovation are part of a circular economy approach that promotes the reuse of materials and waste reduction through the PEMD (Products, Equipment, Materials, Waste) diagnosis.

Apave supports you in taking these major new challenges into account and managing them. We do this by explaining their main principles and specific features, highlighting their benefits and determining which ones are best suited to your construction, renovation, operation or demolition projects.

On Thursday, 4 September at 2 p.m., in the Churchill Room, our experts will host a conference on the topic:

"Transforming offices into housing and other changes of use for a reduced carbon footprint "

The Daubié Law, adopted in June, facilitates the conversion of offices into housing to meet decarbonisation needs. By prioritising renovation and reuse over demolition and reconstruction, it significantly reduces the sector's carbon footprint. Our experts will present the following topics:

• Maximising reuse: the keys to a circular economy that reduces waste and emissions.
• Operational control: What are the regulatory issues to watch out for and what lessons have been learned during the design phase when changing a building's use?
• Enhancing the value of your building: What renovation labels and certifications are available and what subsidies can you apply for?
