The Chair Eco-design of buildings and infrastructure, a partnership
between three engineering colleges (MINES ParisTech, Ecole des
Ponts ParisTech and AgroParisTech) and the VINCI group, aims to
create measurement and simulation tools which integrate all the
dimensions of eco-design (greenhouse gas emissions, impact on
biodiversity and resource levies, etc.) to become real
decision-making tools, based on a scientific approach, for all
actors in the city (designers, builders and users). This book
reviews the second five-year sequence of the Chair, first
presenting methodological advances in eco-design: life cycle
assessment and quantification of uncertainties; local environmental
impacts of transport and biodiversity. The interdisciplinary
partnership, also associating the human sciences, shows its
interest in taking into account the human factor in the modelling
of urban systems. This modelling is based on several numerical
simulation tools, presented in the third part. This theoretical set
results in more substantial proposals for the renewal of techniques
and systems, in terms of energy management strategies in buildings,
urban agriculture, participatory data collection and digital
transformation in transport. This book is intended for urban
planners, local authorities, building owners, architects, design
offices, companies, building managers, teacher-researchers and
anyone interested in the environmental quality of our living
spaces.

A growing number of urban inhabitants are aware of pressing
environmental concerns. This book aims to provide information about
relevant environmental quality criteria in urban construction
settings, before methods are proposed for assessing these criteria.
These will be extremely helpful to eco-building designs, commencing
from the very early stages of a project (site selection, program,
architectural designs) to the detailed design, construction and
management of buildings. The book covers eco-technologies in the
field of energy and water conservation, renewable energy, waste
management and environmentally-friendly materials, but does not
lose sight of comfort and health aspects.
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.
