At the heart of people’s lives, the construction industry is keen to promote the most exemplary projects. In the 1990s, labels for energy<\/strong> performance (BBC Effinergie, Passivhaus, Energiespong), low-carbon<\/strong> performance (Biosourc\u00e9, BBCA), biodiversity<\/strong> (Lucie, Biodivercity)… and environmental<\/strong> performance were introduced.<\/h4>\n

We’re going to take a closer look at the latter, first by giving a brief introduction, then by focusing on the labels most commonly used in multi-family housing.<\/h4>\n

We’ll then take a look at the labels most commonly used in new multi-family housing, and the role played by ceiling fans.<\/h4>\n

What are the objectives of environmental labels?<\/h2>\n

These are designed to take a holistic view of the building. While keeping energy consumption in focus, they integrate complementary aspects that are much appreciated by building owners and occupants alike.<\/p>\n

For example, they deal with safety and security, indoor air quality, water quality and consumption, hygrothermal comfort, acoustics, site and worksite aspects, waste, summer comfort, biodiversity, carbon impact, quality of building materials and thermal systems, overall cost…<\/p>\n

There are two approaches: labels with certification procedures<\/strong>, and those associated with evaluation systems<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In the first case, strict compliance with a certain number of criteria is required, subject to a certification audit by a body accredited by COFRAC[1]<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Dans le second cas, les labels sont attribu\u00e9s, \u00e9galement sur la base de crit\u00e8res objectifs, mais appr\u00e9ci\u00e9s au final par des commissions disposant d\u2019une marge d\u2019appr\u00e9ciation.<\/p>\n

In all cases, standards<\/strong> are used to objectivize the label framework.<\/p>\n

Labels associated with certification<\/h2>\n

NF Habitat HQE et NF Habitat<\/span><\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Initiated in 1996 by the HQE Association, the HQE (for High Environmental Quality) approach aims to control the environmental impact of building construction.<\/p>\n

In 2006, the HQE approach was the subject of NF certification for housing, under the aegis of AFNOR certification. This marked the birth of the NF HQE Logement label.<\/p>\n

This certification is now issued by CERQUAL, a subsidiary of Qualitel, and is called NF Habitat HQE.<\/p>\n

NF Habitat is a slightly less demanding version of NF Habitat HQE.<\/p>\n

The framework is a common one: the aim is to create an interior that is environmentally friendly, saves money, is pleasant to live in, healthy, safe, bright, calm and comfortable in temperature, with the work carried out by a recognized professional.<\/p>\n

The HQE version adds further benefits: natural light, noise reduction, heat resistance, functionality of spaces, environmentally-friendly building site, respect for biodiversity, more controlled energy consumption…<\/p>\n

NF Habitat HQE replaces previous certifications such as Qualitel, Habitat & Environnement and NF Logement HQE.<\/p>\n

Last but not least, both reference systems are available in operating versions: full ownership or co-ownership.<\/p>\n

Promotelec Habitat Neuf (New Housing)<\/span><\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Promotelec was founded in 1962 under the French law of 1901 to promote energy efficiency, electrical safety and comfort in buildings.<\/p>\n

The Promotelec Habitat Neuf (New Housing) label was registered as a brand in 2014. Its main objectives are centered on interior living comfort, health, adaptation to occupants, energy efficiency, limiting CO2 emissions, and the appropriation of installed equipment by residents.<\/p>\n

It comprises two options: “environmentally-friendly housing” (the environmental label proper), and “housing adapted to each individual” (safety, adaptability, living environment).<\/p>\n

For the most efficient projects, a silver or gold level is awarded, depending on the number of points obtained on the evaluation criteria.<\/p>\n

Certification is provided by Promotelec Services, a subsidiary of the association.<\/p>\n

Created on the initiative of Prestaterre, the B\u00e2timent Energie Environnement (BEE) Logement Neuf (New Housing) brand aims to reduce the carbon impact of buildings, as well as waste production; achieve a high level of energy performance; offer housing adapted to its occupants in terms of health, comfort and well-being; facilitate virtuous practices (soft mobility, biodiversity, collaborative consumption, waste recovery, etc.).<\/p>\n

In addition, it includes various indications:<\/p>\n
