CCR obtains a high energy performance label for its headquarters

"BBC Effinergie" Renovation label - NF Renovated Commercial Buildings certification

02/12/2015

At the time of the renovation of its building at 157 boulevard Haussmann in Paris, CCR undertook measures to reduce the building's energy consumption in the aim of acquiring the "BBC Effinergie Rénovation" label and the NF Renovated Commercial Buildings certification.

To achieve this aim, the building's primary conventional energy consumption for heating, cooling, ventilation, the production of hot water for sanitary use and lighting must be 40% less than the baseline conventional consumption throughout the building as defined by French energy regulations.

An ambitious renovation program was put into place to reach this objective: terraces were insulated, vertical outside panels were added along with solar protections, mechanical ventilation systems were replaced as well as the electrical system and all lighting equipment...

On February 12, 2015, the NF Renovated Commercial Buildings certification and the high energy performance label were awarded attesting to the buildings compliance with a minimum level of energy consumption and quality criteria as defined below:

•    Associated Quality 1: "Thermal environment",
•    Associated Quality 2: "Air quality",
•    Associated Quality 3: "Visual atmosphere",
•    Associated Quality 4: "Acoustic atmosphere",
•    Associated Quality 5: "Ease of operation, upkeep and maintenance",
•    Associated Quality 6: "Quality of construction".
