Description :
The French state wished to set up a policy of reducing its emissions of greenhouse gases and to set up a strategic plan for public buildings. The objectives are to reduce 20% of its consumption, to use 20% of renewable energy and to reduce 40% of GHG emissions to 2020. The state requires each of its representatives (Ministry of Home affairs - Prefecture of the Alsace Région) to prepare strategic plans to achieve the National goals. The process is in two phases: 1) energy efficiency assessment of the state's buildings, data consolidation by the state’s regional representatives 2) Development and implementation of a strategic plan.
This mission is an additional service to the initial mission of technical audits and action plan development in the state's buildings carried out in the Alsace region in 2010 by GIRUS and IED
GIRUS and IED are hired to carried out a technical audit:
• the conservation status of buildings and major works: structures, electrical installations, Heating, Ventilation and air conditioning facilities.
• Assessment of their regulatory status (Fire detection and protection, electrical distribution, gas installations, lifts, risks related to the presence of asbestos and radon, timber preservation and protection against insects)
• Assessment of maintenance plan in progress
Following this audit, a multiyear action plan (2020) is established by combining the different approaches : securing, maintenance, durability of structures and works and improving performance energy. The urgency of actions, the investment costs, energy consumption reduction and environmental gains are assessed.
