Circular Economy Roadmap - 2018

Strengthening audit of waste generation

➔ Increase awareness of stakeholders➔ Broaden the operation’s scope➔ Strengthen auditor’s training, verifies auditor’s skills

Free collection of construction waste

+ French “Green Deals”➔ Established between Ministry and industrial sector on voluntary basis (Dutch model) ➔ Mutual commitments to improve waste recycling rate on basis of laws & rules➔ By sectors

Future Environmental Regulation

To prepare future Environmental Regulation 2020 :

- In 2016, launch of National Trial Phase for new Constructions (residential + office buildings)

- Autumn 2018, setup of complementary technical works + upcoming consultation of stakeholders

Tools for Calculation and Capitalisation

The French technical organisation allows the sharing of responsibilities and skills among a chain of stakeholders up to the final objective Building’s LCA

Ministry for Ecological and Inclusive Transition – Ministry of Territorial Cohesion

Started in Autumn 2018 - 15 subjects to be studied

- Building LCA perimeter- Temporary carbon storage- Summer thermal comfort- Requirements of renewable energy production- Technical innovations, etc.

Strong involvement of stakeholders Consultation on the outcomes of these works & analysis of trial phase results

Regulation 2020 to be written on this basis

Technical works to build the new Regulation 2020

Goals

Assessment method

Testing phase to define a common language assessing Buildings Sustainability Performances and relevance of tools

Assessment:

- Indicators with LCA approach (Cradle to grave + module D) based on existing standards

- Primary energy demand- Quantities of waste- Water consumption- Air permeability - Thermal comfort- Life-cycle costs

Assumptions and methodological specificities:- 60-year reference study period- Specific reference surface (IPMS)- Indicators: Delivered (final) energy, exported renewable energy- Calculation method: Quasi-steady-state or dynamic method - Specific and generic Data

- Final energy demand- Air quality requirements- Etc.

Assumptions and methodological specificities:- 50-year reference study period- Specific reference surface (French code)- Indicators: Bbio, Cep (RT2012), Bilan Bepos

- Calculation method: Hourly dynamic method

- French database: specific data + default data- Levels to reach for energy and GHG- Non-renewable energy consumption- Etc....

Synergies between Level(s) and E+C-

Ministry for Ecological and Inclusive Transition – Ministry of Territorial Cohesion

Linking Level(s) and French initiatives

- Share same views on sustainability of buildings, resource & energy efficency- Overall consistency between Level(s) and E+C- for the energy and assessment of LCA indicators- Strong involvement of stakeholders- Opportunity for exchanging ideas, knowledge and experience gs
