EnergyVille 1, the research facility where part of the EnergyVille research collaboration is located, has officially received a BREEAM outstanding certificate, the highest reachable certificate in sustainable construction. Not only by means of sustainable energy management, but also by making sustainable choices with regard to materials, mobility, waste management, etc. the EnergyVille building was one of the first in Belgium to receive an ‘outstanding’ score in the ‘post-construction’ phase.
Sustainable and energy-efficient construction for enterprises and organisations is becoming ever more feasible. To highlight the choices made, the challenges and best practices, EnergVille invites you for a seminar on 5 February 2020.

Sustainably constructed and renovated buildings are becoming more and more important. Making the right choices is however, not always evident. Starting from the BREEAM sustainability label, we guide you through the most important areas of concern. By means of a hands-on approach and a guided tour through the EnergyVille research facilities, the aim is to support you in making the right sustainable choices. Not only choices on sustainable energy management, materials, mobility, waste management, etc. will be covered.
During this event both architects, advisors and project coordinators take the stage and share their experiences in sustainable construction.
