The 4th edition of the EU Buildings Climate Tracker by the Buildings Performance Institute Europe (BPIE) shows a marked acceleration of building decarbonisation in recent years, particularly between 2022 and 2023. However, these recent improvements remain insufficient to completely close the gap with the climate neutrality trajectory.

Why Modular Construction Is Becoming More Practical for Remote Projects Remote construction projects often face a problem that has little to do with architecture. The challenge is getting a usable building to the right place at the right time. A mining project may be hundreds of kilometers from the nearest city. An infrastructure project may operate in an area with limited local labour. Emergency projects may need buildings before conventional construction can even begin.

After a rigorous nine-month evaluation via OEM telematics, Stevens Equipment Rental is now offering Ultimate Cell® technology to help customers reduce fuel spend and CO2 emissions on major earthmoving projects. Stevens Equipment Rental (SER) has concluded an intensive field trial to quantify the financial and environmental savings potential of Ultimate Cell’s hydrogen-on-demand technology.

Europe already possesses excellent knowledge, laboratories, and facilities scattered across the built environment. The main challenge is putting them together and making them easily accessible through a single-entry point. To achieve this, the full Metabuilding Ecosystem has been created, anchored by three pillars: •    Connect: Breaking down the silos that have traditionally separated construction from cutting-edge technology.

As Summers Get Hotter, the Buildings Sector Has More Tools Than the Air Conditioner Crédit : GlobalABC Record heat cancelled sessions at London Climate Action Week earlier this summer, closed schools across parts of India, and triggered early season highs across the eastern US and Canada. Many regions are still experiencing heatwaves as the season goes on. For much of the media coverage, the focus has been on air conditioning, but for the buildings sector, that's only one tool among many.

Mongolia’s construction and infrastructure sector is becoming increasingly international. Energy facilities, industrial developments, wastewater treatment plants and major building projects are often designed and delivered through teams involving Mongolian owners, international EPC contractors, foreign engineering institutes, equipment suppliers and local construction organizationss Operating successfully in this environment requires more than technical design capability.

Energy Efficiency - ✓ Affordable. ✓ Secure. ✓ Sustainable. That is the motto of the Energy Efficiency Conference 2027 in Wels, Austria! Conference Across Europe, we must keep energy affordable, meet our climate targets and reduce our dependence on energy imports. Energy efficiency is the fastest, most cost-effective and lowest-risk way to achieve all three goals.

Machine Learning et Consommation d’Énergie font partie des sujets les plus importants de nos jours. On pourrait dire qu’il s’agit de tendances, mais en réalité ces deux concepts sont bien plus que de simples mots à la mode. Dans notre article, nous expliquons pourquoi ces deux concepts sont intrinsèquement liés et comment les nouvelles technologies contribuent à améliorer la durabilité et à réduire la consommation d’énergie.

L’éco-cité de Tianjin se dresse dans la nouvelle zone de Tianjin Binhai et s’étend sur une superficie totale d’environ 30km2. En 2007, l’accord-cadre sino-singapourien prévoyait d’intégrer l’éco-cité dans une démarche de « conservation des ressources, de protection de l’environnement et d’harmonie sociale », pour « devenir le modèle de développement durable ». Depuis son lancement en 2008, et après 10 ans de construction, 95% du quartier sud a été construit pour accueillir 110 000 habitants.

KTR, groupe industriel allemand spécialisé dans la transmission mécanique, souhaitait, pour son siège français, un bâtiment à l’image de l’entreprise et de ses valeurs : un bâtiment innovant avec d’excellentes conditions de travail pour ses salariés et un bâtiment autonome, notamment sur le plan énergétique. Le groupe avait déjà construit des bâtiments très performants, mais c’est la rénovation qui a été choisie pour le site de Dardilly.
