RD activities for buildings in France
2002-2005
RD program "energy, environmental health
quality - prepare the building for 2010"

• Establish conditions for sustainable development,
  which includes primarily the energy demand
  management in its economic political dimension.
  
• Fight against climate change by implementing a
  policy to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases,
• Develop and promote environmental quality in its
  various components quality of works, systems,
  products and management.

ADEME, associated with PUCA, and in partnership
with several public and private organizations,
launched a national call for proposals, entitled
Prepare the building for 2010. Professionals
from the sectors of Construction and Renewable
Energy responded significantly, both
qualitatively and quantitatively. 2002 - 188
proposals covering all areas of the consultation.
These 188 projects were carried by teams
involving nearly 320 agencies.
2002 - 2003 - 47 files selected - a total
potential of 4 555 k
2003 - 2004 - 45 files selected - a total
potential of 13 000 k
2004 - 2005 - 48 files selected - a total
potential of 11 500 k
140 Projects
