Under the leadership of HSH the Sovereign Prince, Monaco has committed to strict targets to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions. To support this ambitious trajectory, the environmental and energy performance of buildings is a priority: this division represents more than 30% of the Principality’s emissions.

In this context, the Mission for the Energy Transition gathered, Tuesday, October 23, at the Lycée Technique and Hotelier of Monaco, all the trades of construction and urbanism around these priority issues.

The objective: to present them the Mediterranean Sustainable Buildings (BDM) initiative, created in 2009 in Paca (all details in technical sheet). Voluntary and innovative, it has an ambition: to promote good practices in construction (reducing the impact of materials and water and energy consumption, bio-climatism, etc.) to preserve comfort and health, while taking into account environmental, social and economic issues.

By the end of 2019, the approach will be adapted to the context and specificities of Monaco and will become BD2M: “Mediterranean Sustainable Buildings of Monaco”.

This first meeting has indeed laid the main axes of the initiative. Six days of work, spread over several months, will follow to create the BD2M repository.

With more than 160 participants counted, the event allowed for rich and constructive exchanges.

A subject to find on our social networks and Monaco Info. It will also be the subject of the next environmental magazine “The Green Line”.
