The Chair on Ecodesign for buildings and infrastructures was
created by ParisTech in partnership with VINCI with the aim of
developing evaluation and simulation tools that integrate all
ecodesign aspects (e.g. greenhouse gas emissions, impact on
biodiversity, depletion of resources, etc.) and provide genuine
decision-aid instruments, based on a scientific approach, to all
those involved in the urban environment (i.e. designers, builders
and users). The present book takes stock of five years of research
under the Chair. It starts by presenting some methodological bases
of ecodesign, life cycle assessments, impact studies, and methods
for planning and transport. Several specific subjects are then
covered, i.e. public transport, parking, road traffic, the
environmental profile of building materials, building retrofits,
energy management, and biodiversity. The last part of the book sets
out how the knowledge and tools developed under the Chair were
applied to a case study: Cite Descartes in Marne la Vallee (Ile de
France). This work is aimed at urban planners, local authorities,
contracting clients, architects, engineering firms, contractors,
building managers, research lecturers, and anyone interested in the
environmental quality of the places we live in.
