| LogiRep signs the first French CPE in social housing LogiRep, a subsidiary of the Polylogis group, has signed the first Energy Performance Contract (CPE) for social housing in France with Bouygues Bâtiment Ile-de-France and ETDE. A consortium led by Brézillon, a subsidiary of Bouygues Bâtiment Ile-de-France, is responsible for designing, modernising and extending a social housing development in Vitry-sur-Seine (southern suburbs of Paris) containing 231 flats, and for maintenance of the energy equipment system for four years. Under the terms of the French "Grenelle" round-table conference on the environment, held in 2007, the project, worth 9 million euros (4 million euros of energy renovation works and 5 million euros of internal renovation of the accommodation), qualifies for optimised funding through State financial mechanisms to aid social housing, specifically the decree concerning the share-out of energy savings. Works will be launched early in 2011, and are scheduled to last 24 months. write your comments about the article :: © 2010 Construction News :: home page |
