Support all stakeholders in the face of building challenges
For several weeks now, France has been engaged in an ambitious recovery plan including strong commitments in favor of the overall renovation of buildings and more broadly in favor of energy, environmental and digital transitions in the construction sector.
Faced with these challenges, the Cercle Promodul / INEF4 Endowment Fund[1] fully play its role and invest itself in amplifying its action in supporting and increasing the skills of those involved in the building industry faced with its many environmental and societal challenges by making its products available to as many people as possible.
In this context, to allow users and occupants of buildings to understand the major challenges of the sector, and businesses to meet them, the Cercle Promodul / INEF4 is today launching the LAB, a virtual platform dedicated to the dissemination of knowledge.
LAB for all
Unprecedented, the LAB gives free access to a large number of tools developed to promote discovery and improve the knowledge of the various players with various skills that make up the building sector.
Thus, to satisfy professionals such as individuals, trainers and teachers, such as students and trainees in training, the LAB offers diversified content and a multitude of different formats:
- Personalized questionnaires designed in a fun and informative way, in order to discover and understand key concepts through documented answers. The first two subjects concern "The circular economy and ecodesign in the building"; "Summer comfort and the adaptation of buildings to global warming".
- Personalized digital and simulation tools to concretely apply certain concepts. Under development: "Calculate your photovoltaic self-consumption".
- A database to resume certain principles or deepen the understanding of theoretical elements. Organized as a "Wiki", it revolves around the following themes: Indoor air quality, Materials, Thermal, Low carbon neighborhood and city, Renewable energy production.
- Personalized practical sheets to understand and take action with concise and turnkey explanations. Topics already available: Circular economy of roofing and waterproofing products; Photovoltaic self-consumption.
- Guides, reports and feedback to deepen a concept and go further in the process. Subjects already available: Quality of life and comfort; Passive cooling and summer comfort; BIM.
The content is regularly updated and fed by new productions resulting from collaborative work.
Finally, to facilitate access to all of these resources, a dedicated thematic page allows you to find the right tool for each need with a single click.
“A true documentary base, this platform is therefore instructive and educational, accessible to all to contribute, both in new construction and renovation, to the achievement of ambitious European and national objectives. But also to promote the development of healthy, efficient, sustainable and comfortable living and working places. "
-Jean-Luc Buchou, General Delegate of the Endowment Fund
