Although only 3% of the Earth surface is occupied by cities, 50% of World population live there, and are directly or indirectly responsible for 80% of greenhouse gas emissions. Therefore, a good urban planning that takes into account environmental criteria becomes essential to achieve the challenges of sustainability.
In this sense, the newly planned sustainable neighborhoods or eco-neighborhoods must achieve an effective reduction in resource and energy consumption and make themselves more self-sufficient and adaptable.
In this area, the excellence of INÈDIT focuses on:
- Identification and quantification of environmental impacts from the activities of the building sector, with special emphasis on civil works.
- Design of sustainable urban systems.
- Determination of energy and water self-sufficiency potential for neighborhoods and industrial estates.
- Development of environmental indicators for monitoring.
- Environmental Product Declaration (EPD).
