Perception of RE2020 by the Building sector: a real need for information

For this premiere, the "Grand Dossier du Mondial du Bâtiment" had as its theme: "How will RE2020 allow us to build sustainably?".

On this occasion, the Mondial du Bâtiment organized an exclusive survey^[1] on the perception of RE2020 by professional players in the sector.

The survey results reveal some confusion among building professionals.

Thus, when asked what RE2020 means, only a little over a third of respondents chose Environmental Regulation (36,5%). 28,5% think that it designates an Energy Regulation, 20% that it is about Energy Renovation and 15% of the respondents do not know the meaning of the term.

Unsurprisingly, they are so 74,9% say they are not sufficiently informed about this regulation.

On the other hand, and the point is also a reflection of the dynamism of the sector, they are 41,3% believe that the RE2020 is a driving force for the development of their activity. Thus, only 14,1% of respondents think that the RE2020 is a brake on the development of their activity. This figure should be moderated, however, since 44,6% say they do not know what impact, negative or positive, it can have.
