APPROACHSustainable development

Development of this ecological neighbourhood is focussed on:

  • Optimizing the buildings’ energy efficiency (Positive energy building, low-energy building, and autonomy) by promoting a bioclimatic architecture and developing local and renewable energies (e.g. solar panels).
  • Optimization of water quality through the installation of ponds and filtering valley gutters as well as green-roofing
  • Preservation of space resources by conciliating density and quality of life.
  • The reduction of CO2 emissions and grey energy, by choosing local and sustainable materials, by limiting car use and by the creation of dense green areas.
  • The integration of the project in its urban environment by promoting its coherence with soft and collective travel modes for example
  • Mixed housing programs
