Constructing a Sustainable Future #3

Integrated solutions combining performance and sustainability Building professionals must now take four interdependent factors into account, in both the design and execution phases of a project. On the one hand, performance requirements mean optimizing economic value while ensuring an optimal user experience. On the other hand, the need for sustainability requires combining environmental transition with the comfort of occupants. THE NEED FOR A SOLUTION-BASED APPROACH As such, the design and construction of sustainable buildings can no longer be a matter of simply combining specialized products. It is essential to adopt an integrated approach that takes into account the complex interactions between the various components of a building. An efficient product may not be appropriate if it is not a perfect fit for a system that has been optimized from a technical, economic and environmental point of view. The aim is to achieve synergy between products, systems and services, and thus offer solutions that simultaneously meet the imperatives of economic performance, use, sustainability and the well-being of occupants. The aim is to achieve synergy between products, systems and services While the sector can now count on a wide range of innovations to optimize every stage of the building life-cycle, the effectiveness of these innovations depends on a global approach. Building sustainably no longer means simply assembling innovative products, but rather providing solutions to complex issues, both environmental and concerning the comfort of occupants. SPOTLIGHT 24
