sont réunis en Pologne pour négocier de l'avenir de la lutte contre le réchauffement. Cette &lt;a href="http://www.poznan2008.com/"target="_blank"&gt;conférence&lt;/a&gt; fait partie des ultimes occasions pour l’UE d'afficher son unité pour convaincre.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Source de l'article : &lt;a href="http://www.actu-environnement.com/"target="_blank"&gt;Actu-Environnement.com&lt;/a&gt; - 01/12/2008 (entièreté des liens ajoutée par mes soins)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Un an après la réunion de Bali, les 192 signataires de la Convention Cadre des Nations Unies sur les Changements Climatiques (&lt;a href="http://www.unfccc.int/"target="_blank"&gt;CCNUCC&lt;/a&gt;) sont à nouveau réunis cette fois-ci à Poznan en Pologne. L’objectif de ces deux semaines de discussions est de respecter le calendrier fixé à Bali pour mettre au point d’ici 2013 un nouveau protocole international pour relayer celui de Kyoto. Si ce nouveau protocole devrait intégrer les Etats-Unis et surtout les pays émergents, un accord pour se faire semble encore loin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;L’Union européenne se veut toutefois optimiste et espère faire passer à la vitesse supérieure les négociations internationales. Même s'il est trop tôt pour espérer des avancées majeures, la &lt;a href="http://www.poznan2008.com/"target="_blank"&gt;conférence de Poznań&lt;/a&gt; doit permettre de passer des discussions exploratoires aux négociations concrètes et envoyer un signal clair indiquant que le monde est en bonne voie pour conclure, dans un an à Copenhague, un traité ambitieux sur le climat, estime &lt;a href="http://ec.europa.eu/commission_barroso/dimas/index_en.htm"target="_blank"&gt;Stavros Dimas&lt;/a&gt;, membre de la Commission en charge de l’environnement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;À l’occasion de la conférence, l'UE prévoit donc d’insister sur la réalisation d’un programme de travail clair afin de guider les négociations en 2009, de faire des progrès en vue de l'adoption d’objectifs de réduction d’émissions pour 2020 et 2050 et d’aboutir à une décision ferme quant à la manière de rendre opérationnel le &lt;a href="http://www.adaptation-fund.org/"target="_blank"&gt;Fonds d'adaptation&lt;/a&gt; prévu par le &lt;a href="http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protocole_de_Kyoto"target="_blank"&gt;protocole de Kyoto&lt;/a&gt; à l'intention des pays en développement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Des besoins d’investissements revus à la hausse&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La première semaine de la conférence sera dédiée à la présentation des différents travaux et réflexions sur les impacts du changement climatique, les solutions technologiques pour limiter les émissions mais également sur les moyens de financements. Un rapport du secrétariat de la CCNUCC sur le coût des mesures d'atténuation des changements climatiques sera d’ailleurs présenté. Cette mise à jour 2008 revoit à la hausse les estimations des experts : la réduction de 25% des émissions de gaz à effet de serre en 2030 par rapport à 2000 nécessitera 500 milliards de dollars par an d’investissement contre les 210 milliards de dollars par an calculés l’année dernière. Le &lt;a href="http://www.un.org/french/climatechange/ipcc.shtml"target="_blank"&gt;rapport 2007&lt;/a&gt; ne concernait que les investissements de départ, sans inclure les coûts de renforcement des capacités et de création d'un environnement adapté à la mise en place de nouvelles technologies, explique l'ONU dans ce nouveau rapport.&lt;br /&gt;En revanche, les experts estiment toujours à plusieurs dizaines voire centaines de milliards de dollars par an le coût des mesures d'adaptation au changement climatique.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Calendrier chargé pour l’UE&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La délégation européenne à Poznan sera composée des représentants de la présidence actuelle avec &lt;a href="http://www.developpement-durable.gouv.fr/"target="_blank"&gt;Jean-Louis Borloo&lt;/a&gt;, de la présidence prochaine à savoir &lt;a href="http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Burs%C3%ADk"target="_blank"&gt;Martin Bursik&lt;/a&gt;, ministre tchèque de l'environnement et du commissaire européen &lt;a href="http://ec.europa.eu/commission_barroso/dimas/index_en.htm"target="_blank"&gt;Dimas&lt;/a&gt;. Elle devra défendre une position commune qui sera précisée le 4 décembre prochain à l’occasion d’un &lt;a href="http://www.ue2008.fr/PFUE/cache/offonce/lang/fr/accueil/PFUE-12_2008/PFUE-04.12.2008/conseil_environnement_2078;jsessionid=BCBE2FD4FE22BBCAA7F17641FDA6D092"target="_blank"&gt;conseil européen des ministres de l’environnement&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ce conseil sera également l’occasion pour l’UE de faire le point travaux sur le paquet énergie-climat et sur le projet de &lt;a href="http://europa.eu/scadplus/leg/fr/lvb/l21047.htm"target="_blank"&gt;règlement relatif aux émissions de CO2 des véhicules légers&lt;/a&gt;. Cet état des lieux s'inscrit dans la perspective du Conseil Européen des 11 et 12 décembre au cours duquel les chefs d'Etat et de gouvernement devront décider des solutions appropriées pour parvenir à un accord global avant que le Parlement européen ne se prononce sur ces questions le 16 décembre.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;/.../&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Je suivrai les conclusions de cette conférence avec intérêt. Nul doute que de nombreuses opportunités verront le jour, dans la lignée des nombreux projets existants.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A bientôt.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1075989020710366040-8423722907716384868?l=oceamex.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://oceamex.blogspot.com/feeds/8423722907716384868/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1075989020710366040&amp;postID=8423722907716384868' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1075989020710366040/posts/default/8423722907716384868'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1075989020710366040/posts/default/8423722907716384868'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://oceamex.blogspot.com/2008/12/climat-la-confrence-de-poznan-souvre.html' title='Climat : la conférence de Poznan s’ouvre aujourd’hui'/><author><name>Oceamex Project</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1075989020710366040.post-4267843663912303584</id><published>2008-11-20T12:02:00.002+01:00</published><updated>2008-11-20T12:05:20.172+01:00</updated><title type='text'>La Suède veut être le premier pays à se passer du pétrole</title><content type='html'>Personnellement je prends un malin plaisir à lire ce genre d'articles.

Il ne s'agit ni plus ni moins que d'établir un plan opérationnel visant à atteindre les objectifs fixés par la Commission Européenne pour 2020, soit 23% d'énergies renouvelables dans le parc énergétique national.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Son point fort est l'énergie solaire. En effet, ce plan met la priorité sur l'intégration de l'énergie photovoltaïque dans la construction (logements, tertiaire, industrie). Ce qui me frappe surtout est la construction d'ici 2011 de minimum une centrale solaire par région (la France compte 22 régions). Soit une production globale de 300 Mégawatts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ce plan propose aussi une levée de plusieurs barrières ralentissant le développement des énergies renouvelables, notamment urbanistiques et financières.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Le plan propose également la création d'un fonds de chaleur renouvelable, destiné à financer les chaufferies collectives trouvant leurs ressources dans les renouvelables.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Force est de constater que l'éolien n'occupe pas une place centrale dans ce plan Borloo. Ce qui à mon sens est assez réaliste, dans l'état technologique actuel de ce marché.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ce plan va dans le bon sens, dans la mesure où il contribue à la construction de l'économie verte, en proposant des mesures motrices et des objectifs amenant une concurrence entre les régions, ce qui favorise selon moi l'innovation et le développement.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1075989020710366040-1570995284627718728?l=oceamex.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://oceamex.blogspot.com/feeds/1570995284627718728/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1075989020710366040&amp;postID=1570995284627718728' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1075989020710366040/posts/default/1570995284627718728'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1075989020710366040/posts/default/1570995284627718728'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://oceamex.blogspot.com/2008/11/plan-borloo-pour-les-nergies.html' title='Plan Borloo pour les énergies renouvelables'/><author><name>Oceamex Project</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1075989020710366040.post-6935600653201409968</id><published>2008-11-17T17:01:00.004+01:00</published><updated>2008-11-20T11:29:28.415+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='géothermie'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='biomasse'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Grenelle de l&apos;environnement'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='borloo'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='solaire'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='hydraulique'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sireme'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='France Nature Environnement'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ademe'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='éoliennes'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='photovoltaïque'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Green business'/><title type='text'>SIREME et Plan Green Business Energies Renouvelables</title><content type='html'>En marge du &lt;a href="http://www.sireme.fr"&gt;salon international des énergies renouvelables et de la maîtrise de l'énergie&lt;/a&gt; au CNIT à la Défense (www.sireme.fr), le &lt;a href="http://www.developpement-durable.gouv.fr/"&gt;cabinet Borloo&lt;/a&gt; a présenté aujourd'hui le plan énergies renouvelables.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Voici la dépêche AFP d'aujourd'hui ;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;L'énergie solaire est au coeur du plan de développement des énergies renouvelables présenté lundi par le gouvernement, qui prévoit la construction d'au moins une centrale photovoltaïque par région d'ici 2011.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p id="ynw-article-part2"&gt;"Le gros, c'est le solaire. En termes industriels, et d'effondrement des coûts industriels, c'est probablement là qu'on a la capacité la plus importante", a expliqué le ministre de l'Ecologie Jean-Louis Borloo, en présentant une série de 50 mesures pour "réussir la transition énergétique".&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;L'objectif affiché du gouvernement est que les énergies renouvelables représentent 23% de la consommation finale d'ici 2020, soit plus qu'un doublement par rapport à 2005 (10,3%, grâce essentiellement aux barrages hydro-électriques).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"La bataille mondiale des filières professionnelles pour les énergies renouvelables est évidemment lancée", a expliqué M. Borloo, soulignant que la France avait "pris du retard" et devait viser un développement "soutenu" de l'ensemble des filières (hydraulique, éolien, solaire, biomasse, géothermie...).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Ce plan, c'est green business dans toute sa réalité technique et financière", a-t-il ajouté, reconnaissant que le principal défi serait celui de "la simplification administrative, réglementaire".&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Selon l'Agence pour le développement et la maîtrise de l'énergie (Ademe), les énergies renouvelables pourraient représenter en 2012 un marché annuel de 24 milliards d'euros et 120.000 emplois.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Les appels d'offre pour les centrales solaires photovoltaïques seront lancés "dans les semaines qui viennent", a précisé M. Borloo. D'une puissance cumulée d'environ 300 MW, elles seront réparties en fonction du potentiel solaire de chaque région.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Afin de favoriser le développement du photovoltaïque sur les supermarchés et les bâtiments industriels et agricoles de grande tailles (usines, hangars etc...), un tarif spécifique de 45 centimes/kWh est créé.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ces mesures devraient permettre de multiplier par 400 la production d'électricité d'origine photovoltaïque pour atteindre 5.400 MW en 2020.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Si la marge de progression envisagée est très forte, la base de départ est très faible: à fin juin 2008, la puissance installée du parc photovoltaïque français raccordé au réseau était de 18 MW en métropole, 13 MW fin 2007 et 6 MW fin 2006.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;La France se place au quatrième rang européen, derrière l'&lt;a href="http://fr.news.yahoo.com/fc/allemagne.html"&gt;Allemagne&lt;/a&gt;, l'&lt;a href="http://fr.news.yahoo.com/fc/espagne.html"&gt;Espagne&lt;/a&gt; et l'&lt;a href="http://fr.news.yahoo.com/fc/italie.html"&gt;Italie&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;L'énergie solaire pourrait s'avérer compétitive avec le prix du marché de l'électricité "à l'horizon 2020", considère le ministère.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Un "Fonds chaleur renouvelable", sera mis en place en 2009 afin de soutenir la production de chaleur à partir de sources renouvelables: biomasse, solaire, pompes à chaleur, géothermie et biogaz. Conformément au projet de loi de finances, il sera doté d'environ 1 milliard d'euros pour les trois prochaines années.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;En ce qui concerne l'énergie éolienne, l'objectif reste de multiplier par dix le parc à 25.000 MW de puissance installée en 2020 contre 2.500 MW en 2007, mais une nouvelle réglementation, dont les contours restent à définir, est annoncée.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Pour France nature environnement (FNE, 3.000 associations), l'annonce de ce plan "montre que le gouvernement continue à mettre en oeuvre les objectifs du Grenelle et prend le virage de l'énergie verte".&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cependant, estime Arnaud Gossement, son porte-parole, "il ne suffit pas de dire que les énergies renouvelables sont une bonne chose, il faut garantir leur acceptabilité sociale".&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Si on décide depuis Paris, sans concertation, qu'il faut des champs d'éoliennes et des fermes solaires, il y aura des crispations", a-t-il mis en garde.&lt;/p&gt;Source : AFP&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1075989020710366040-6935600653201409968?l=oceamex.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://oceamex.blogspot.com/feeds/6935600653201409968/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1075989020710366040&amp;postID=6935600653201409968' title='2 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1075989020710366040/posts/default/6935600653201409968'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1075989020710366040/posts/default/6935600653201409968'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://oceamex.blogspot.com/2008/11/sireme-et-plan-green-business-energies.html' title='SIREME et Plan Green Business Energies Renouvelables'/><author><name>Oceamex Project</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1075989020710366040.post-7677556579100102166</id><published>2008-09-24T08:59:00.004+02:00</published><updated>2008-09-24T09:05:55.697+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='énergie'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='PEB'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Primes'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='construction durable'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='région wallonne'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='K45'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Confédération Construction Wallonne'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='K55'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='construction'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='logement individuel'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='CCW'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='habitat durable'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='plan Solwatt'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='plan Marshall'/><title type='text'>La construction wallonne en route vers la révolution énergétique</title><content type='html'>Les nouvelles normes en matière de performances énergétiques des bâtiments, qui entreront progressivement en vigueur jusqu'en 2011, provoquent un afflux de demandes de primes en Région wallonne, et vont doper le secteur de la construction.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La Confédération Construction Wallonne (CCW) estime que 400.000 logements wallons devraient être rénovés d'ici à 2020, assurant 10.000 emplois supplémentaires dans le secteur. Le décret wallon sur la performance énergétique des bâtiments est entré en vigueur le 1er septembre et il va révolutionner le secteur de la construction. La première phase renforce la réglementation thermique, en faisant passer les normes de K55 à K45.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Impact énorme&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Mais la révolution est à venir avec l'introduction d'un nouveau mode de calcul (en litre de mazout par mètre carré avec un maximum de 17) dès le 1er septembre 2009, et un abaissement de la norme à 13 litres de mazout par mètre carré à partir du 1er septembre 2011.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ces changements auront un impact direct sur le secteur de la construction dans son ensemble, et des réunions d'information spécifiques destinée aux entreprises sont organisées par la CCW, avec le soutien de la Région wallonne. Une première rencontre a déjà eu lieu à Louvain-la-Neuve, d'autres suivront à Liège, Libramont et Mons.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Primes aux particuliers&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En introduction de la première de ces réunions, à Louvain-la-Neuve, André Antoine a esquissé un bilan des mesures prises jusqu'à aujourd'hui au niveau régional. Les primes accordées aux particuliers pour favoriser les économies d'énergie ont des résultats très encourageants. De 7.800 dossiers en 2004, on est passé pour 2007 à 40.000 dossiers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En ce qui concerne les panneaux solaires thermiques, plus de 22.000 mètres carrés ont été installés en 2007 en Région wallonne, soit quinze fois plus qu'en 2001. Et les dossiers dans le cadre du plan Solwatt rentrent au rythme de 100 par jour.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Au niveau public&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pour le secteur public, la Région wallonne a débloqué 81 millions d'euros d'aide pour réduire les factures énergétiques des communes, des CPAS, des provinces et des écoles. Un nouvel appel à projets, avec un crédit de 30 millions d'euros, sera lancé en octobre. En plus des écoles, la Région va cette fois cibler les infrastructures sportives et culturelles, ainsi que les structures d'accueil de la petite enfance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pour la CCW, la révolution environnementale et énergétique en cours actuellement aura des retombées certaines sur le secteur de la construction. Le potentiel d'amélioration environnementale et énergétique des bâtiments wallons, considérés comme étant les plus vétustes d'Europe selon la CCW, est en effet énorme.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"La moitié du parc résidentiel wallon n'a ni double vitrage, ni toiture isolée. Beaucoup de bâtiments publics ne sont guère plus isolés. Le défi à relever est de taille mais incontournable: l'objectif est de parvenir à construire et à rénover des bâtiments qui consommeront un quart de ce que consomme un bâtiment actuel. Ce sont plus de 400.000 logements wallons qui doivent être rénovés.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En supposant qu'un vaste programme de rénovation s'échelonne sur vingt ans, ce nouveau marché assurerait plus de 10.000 emplois durables sur toute cette période", indique Francis Carnoy, le directeur général de la CCW.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Source : www.7sur7.be, 23/09/2008&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1075989020710366040-7677556579100102166?l=oceamex.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://oceamex.blogspot.com/feeds/7677556579100102166/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1075989020710366040&amp;postID=7677556579100102166' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1075989020710366040/posts/default/7677556579100102166'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1075989020710366040/posts/default/7677556579100102166'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://oceamex.blogspot.com/2008/09/la-construction-wallone-en-route-vers.html' title='La construction wallonne en route vers la révolution énergétique'/><author><name>Oceamex Project</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1075989020710366040.post-7900728886159116480</id><published>2008-09-16T18:39:00.004+02:00</published><updated>2008-09-16T18:49:38.039+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='EAM'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Yannick Bestaven'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Voile'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='EAM Racing'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Vendée Globe'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='EAM Innovations'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Sailing team'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Energies autour du Monde'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='EAM Voiles'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='EAM Organisation'/><title type='text'>Yannick Bestaven , Energies autour du Monde EAM</title><content type='html'>Il est Français, il est skipper, il a fait travailler une équipe d'ingénieurs autour d'un bateau entièrement fabriqué à partir d'énergies renouvelables.

La technique est privilégiée par rapport à l’aspect économique et sociologique.&lt;br /&gt;Pourtant, il me semble indispensable de les placer au même niveau, tout en redéfinissant bien leurs rôles respectifs. L’économie et les sciences humaines permettent de comprendre et de mesurer les enjeux sociétaux et la technique doit être non pas un but en soi mais l’outil à la hauteur de ses enjeux. C’est pourquoi, en tant que Responsable du Pôle Economie et Sciences humaines au sein d’un centre de recherche technique comme le CSTB, mon objectif n’est pas de m’appesantir sur le manque de place de la socio-économie mais de sensibiliser les acteurs du bâtiment, autour des grands enjeux auxquels nous avons à faire face (comme par exemple les gaz à effet de serre), afin d’avoir une approche globale des problématiques.&lt;br /&gt;A ce titre, d’ailleurs, au lieu d’opposer les termes de sciences "dures"(technique, etc.) aux sciences "molles" (sciences humaines, etc.), il me paraît plus judicieux de juxtaposer les sciences "dures" et les sciences "douces", afin d’assurer leur interaction. De la même façon qu’un "software" et un "hardware" ne fonctionnent que s’ils s’avèrent complémentaire.&lt;br /&gt;Cette complémentarité entre ces disciplines est d’autant plus essentielle que l’univers de la construction est complexe, de par d’une part la multiplicité de ces acteurs et d’autre part la grande diversité de l’offre et de la demande.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Cette démarche de complémentarité que vous prônez est celle que vous avez mise en pratique dans votre rapport en faisant travailler des binômes techniques et sciences humaines. Pouvez-vous nous éclairer sur ce travail?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Avec ce rapport de 900 pages nous avons voulu faire le point sur ce qui existe de plus abouti à l’échelle mondiale en matière d’économie d’énergie. Nous avons en effet distingué trois grands modèles de développement :&lt;br /&gt;Tout d'abord, le modèle allemand, suisse et autrichien. Ce modèle est axé sur la réduction de la consommation du bâtiment en isolant et en profitant aux mieux des apports extérieurs et intérieurs de chaleur afin de quasiment pouvoir se passer de chauffage. C’est ce que les Allemands nomment "PassivHaus". La Suisse s’en est inspiré pour créer son label "Minérgie". Les Allemands ont ainsi apporté le concept et ses exigences, et les Suisses l’ont transformé en un label diffusable. A l’heure actuelle, une maison neuve sur sept en suisse et labélisée "Minérgie". Ce modèle est assez aisément transposable en France. Les régions françaises limitrophes (Alsace, Franche Comté, Languedoc Roussillon) se sont approprié le modèle en créant à leur tour le label "Effinérgie" propres aux exigences françaises (en déclinant des objectifs différents à atteindre adaptés à la plus grande variété de reliefs et de climats qu’en Suisse).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Il y a aussi le modèle espagnol. Dans une optique méditerranéenne, ce modèle n’est, lui, plus centré sur la problématique du chauffage mais sur celle de l’eau chaude. Ce recentrement sur l’ordonnance solaire qui met au jour une utilisation active du soleil vient compléter l’utilisation solaire seulement passive du concept allemand Cette ordonnance solaire oblige, à partir d’une certaine taille de permis de construire ou de réhabilitation, à utiliser le thermique solaire pour le chauffage de l’eau chaude.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enfin, on trouve les modèles américain et japonais. Cet axe de développement est à la croisée des deux premiers car ces deux pays ont, dès le départ, combiné une amélioration de l’isolation en vue de la performance des logements avec une production solaire d’électricité. Ainsi, au Japon, où la problématique des pics de consommation sur le réseau électrique est forte, 160.000 ménages sont équipés de panneaux photovoltaïques. La transposition de ce concept en France est aussi tout à fait réalisable. D’ailleurs, dans le cadre du Grenelle de l’environnement, il pourrait exister d’ici 2020 une réglementation thermique en France, avec une obligation de construire des bâtiments à énergie positive.&lt;br /&gt;Une autre approche intéressante est celle des Américains. La question énergétique n’y est en effet pas aussi prépondérante. Elle est couplée avec un modèle environnemental plus large, en voulant, par exemple, offrir un cadre de travail plus sain et stimulant pour les salariés des bâtiments tertiaires. Cette idée de voir l’économie comme un élément d’une approche environnemental plus large, en s’intéressant aux problématiques d’insertion du bâtiment dans le site, de choix des matériaux utilisés, de gestion des déchets, etc. est synthétisé dans le label LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environnemental Design). Cette idée a d’ailleurs reprise, lors du Grenelle de l’environnement avec la proposition du label HQEE (haute qualité énergétique et environnementale).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aussi, nous avons voulu souligner un exemple danois. L’écoquartier de Vasterbro à Copenhague, auquel nous avons choisi de nous intéresser tout particulièrement dans notre rapport, est révélateur en la matière. En effet, les danois ont ouvert la voie à l’écoquartier de réhabilitation et non plus seulement du neuf. Cette réflexion a été reprise en France avec le projet d’un écoquartier de réhabilitation à Lyon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;A l'heure de la mise en oeuvre des objectifs du Grenelle de l'environnement, si vous aviez un message à faire passer aux professionnels de la construction, lequel serait-il ?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;S’il ne fallait retenir qu’un seul élément, c’est que cette transposition d’expériences étrangères au modèle français est à l’origine d’un nouveau paradigme, qui bouleverse totalement le système de références des professionnels du monde du bâtiment. Elle n’est certes pas aisée, mais elle est une occasion exceptionnelle de valoriser les métiers et les compétences de tous les acteurs de la construction, qui se retrouvent au premier rang des enjeux de la planète. La coordination interprofessionnelle et l’implication des utilisateurs des bâtiments est la clé du succès pour s’approprier pleinement cette approche de haute qualité énergétique et environnementale.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Propos recueillis par Eric leysens&lt;/i&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1075989020710366040-7924996288700119562?l=oceamex.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://oceamex.blogspot.com/feeds/7924996288700119562/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1075989020710366040&amp;postID=7924996288700119562' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1075989020710366040/posts/default/7924996288700119562'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1075989020710366040/posts/default/7924996288700119562'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://oceamex.blogspot.com/2008/06/jean-carassus-limportance-des-sciences.html' title='Jean Carassus : &quot;l’importance des sciences humaines dans la construction est souvent sous-estimée&quot;'/><author><name>Oceamex Project</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1075989020710366040.post-7780835939929907545</id><published>2008-05-23T15:19:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2008-05-23T15:21:57.934+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Sustainable Building Alliance'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='BREEAM'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Moniteur'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='SB Alliance'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='NF'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Certivéa'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Patrick Nossent'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='HQE'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='CSTB'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='BRE'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Réseau international construction'/><title type='text'>Vers un réseau international d'évaluation de la construction</title><content type='html'>Article intéressant paru dans le Moniteur dernièrement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Le 28 avril 2008, à l'Ambassade de Grande-Bretagne à Paris, le Centre scientifique et technique du bâtiment (CSTB) et le Building research establishment (BRE) ont annoncé leur volonté de créer, avec d’autres partenaires européens et mondiaux, le réseau SB Alliance, Sustainable Building Alliance.

Mais il a aussitôt précisé la nécessité de décliner des solutions locales répondant aux spécificités de chaque territoire (climatique, sociale, économique).&lt;br /&gt;Afin de transformer immédiatement cette volonté collective en actes, quatre groupes de travail se sont réunis dès le lendemain pour aborder les thèmes qui formeront le socle de cette alliance : les objectifs futurs, le rôle, et la structure de l’organisation ; les conditions d’adhésion, de participation et la communication ; les budgets et le financement ; ainsi que les contenus techniques des systèmes génériques.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ainsi, cette alliance, qui se veut "inspirée des alliances entre compagnies aériennes", permettra à travers un réseau international d’organismes d’évaluation, de recherche et de parties prenantes intéressés par le développement durable des bâtiments et des territoires d’échanger des expériences, des bonnes pratiques et des savoir-faire.&lt;br /&gt;Alain Maugard a ensuite proposé à tous les pays intéressés de se retrouver à la mi-juin Outre-Rhin, pour rendre publique la structure définitive, soulignant que l’engagement,au sein de l’alliance,de l’Allemagne, pionnière en la matière, était une condition de réussite du projet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Les promoteurs sont demandeurs de standards internationaux&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;De son côté, Patrick Nossent, président de CertiVéa, filiale du CSTB qui accompagne les démarches visant la certification HQE, est intervenu afin de mettre au jour tout le chemin qu’il restait à parcourir dans l’avènement d’un tel projet. Avec 141 opérations certifiées NF bâtiments tertiaires démarche HQE, fin mars 2008, pour les bâtiments tertiaires, il a conscience "d’être au début du chemin". Mais s’il a confiance dans l’avenir de la "Sustainable Building Alliance", c’est qu’il sait, comme Alain Maugard, que les promoteurs sont demandeurs de standards internationaux. En effet, les bureaux construits aujourd’hui ont vocation à accueillir des entreprises des quatre coins du monde. Or, à cette échelle mondiale, les référentiels relatifs à la qualité des bâtiments sont loin d’être identiques.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;C’est pourquoi des outils communs d’évaluation permettraient aux multinationales de connaître facilement la qualité du bâtiment dans lequel elles s’installent et ainsi l’opérateur immobilier satisferait toutes les clientèles. En outre, des normes internationales sur les matériaux et les procédés de constructions offriraient la possibilité aux constructeurs de comparer tous les produits entre eux.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A titre d’exemple, le BRE, organisme britannique qui délivre la certification BREEAM, demande à l’assistant maître d’œuvre de lui délivrer une certification, lorsqu’il livre le bâtiment, afin de s’assurer qu’il a bien construit le projet initialement conçu. Puis deux ans plus tard, il charge un auditeur de vérifier que le bâtiment fonctionne comme prévu.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En France, pour prétendre être un bâtiment HQE, trois audits doivent être réalisés : au moment du programme, de la conception et de la réalisation. Mais la phase d’exploitation n’est pas encore prise en compte par le dispositif français, alors qu’elle est tout aussi importante. Pourquoi installer un système aération-chauffage intelligent, si les utilisateurs l’exploitent mal ? C’est pourquoi, le président de CertiVéa, à travers une réflexion transnationale sur de nouveaux référentiels communs, espère pouvoir rapidement évaluer le "management du comportement".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enfin, avec cette alliance, Patrick Nossent souhaite sortir de l’enveloppe du bâtiment, pour développer des critères liés au territoire, avec des problématiques telles que le rôle du projet dans l’environnement local ou la desserte du site. En effet, à l’heure où la construction durable semble se focaliser sur l’énergie, on ne peut qu’encourager cette alliance à élargir la réflexion sur le bâtiment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Source : Eric Leysens, Le Moniteur, 02/05/2008&lt;/i&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1075989020710366040-7780835939929907545?l=oceamex.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://oceamex.blogspot.com/feeds/7780835939929907545/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1075989020710366040&amp;postID=7780835939929907545' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1075989020710366040/posts/default/7780835939929907545'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1075989020710366040/posts/default/7780835939929907545'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://oceamex.blogspot.com/2008/05/vers-un-rseau-international-dvaluation.html' title='Vers un réseau international d&apos;évaluation de la construction'/><author><name>Oceamex Project</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1075989020710366040.post-3660650074999466223</id><published>2008-05-22T10:03:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2008-05-22T10:08:30.932+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Nantes'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='logement individuel'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='France'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Carrefour International du Bois'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='panneaux fibres'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='logement collectif'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ossature bois'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Charpentes'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='SESSI'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='panneaux particules'/><title type='text'>La filière bois pèse 40 milliards d’euros en France</title><content type='html'>&lt;span class="titleArticleIntChapo"&gt; &lt;titre&gt;&lt;/titre&gt;&lt;/span&gt; Source : Batiactu, 21/05/2008&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="titleArticleInt"&gt; &lt;cha&gt; Alors que la 10e édition du Carrefour national du bois débutera le 28 mai à Nantes, le ministère des Finances a publié une étude sur les chiffres de la filière bois en France. On observe notamment l’influence de la maison à ossature bois, particulièrement dans l’ouest de la France, qui porte les industries du travail du bois. Explications. &lt;/cha&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="titleArticleIntContent"&gt; &lt;texte&gt; La filière bois en France représente autant de salariés que la filière automobile… mais son chiffre d’affaires est trois fois moins important. A l’occasion du Carrefour international du bois qui ouvrira ses portes le 28 mai à Nantes, le Service des études et statistiques industrielles (Sessi) du ministère des Finances a rendu publique une étude sur les industries du bois. La filière bois, qui compte 231.000 salariés, représentait en 2007 un chiffre d’affaires de 40 milliards d’euros.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/texte&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Depuis l’année 2000, la filière bois a perdu 25.000 emplois, à cause notamment du ralentissement d’activité survenu dans les industries papetière et du meuble. Mais l’étude indique que la production de la filière reste stable sur la période 2000-2006, grâce à la progression de 10% des industries du travail du bois. Celles-ci comptent 870 entreprises de plus de 20 salariés employant 58.000 professionnels, ainsi que 24.000 artisans. Et dans ce secteur, c’est la construction qui porte la croissance. Le Sessi indique que &lt;i&gt; «le dynamisme des mises en chantier depuis 2003 profite aux industries de panneaux, de charpentes et de menuiseries».&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt; Succès des maisons à ossature bois&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En effet, depuis cette date, les constructions de logements individuels et collectifs ont augmenté de 40%, et consécutivement, &lt;i&gt; «l’engouement pour la maison à ossature bois a accentué le développement de l’activité charpentes, avec un doublement des quantités produites».&lt;/i&gt; Les productions de menuiseries et de panneaux liés à la construction ont aussi augmenté de 10%. L’étude note que la production de menuiseries en bois est &lt;i&gt; «deux fois moins importante que celle des menuiseries en plastique qui représentent un excellent rapport qualité prix et une facilité d’entretien».&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Les maisons à ossature bois représenteraient 4% des maisons individuelles construites, et 9% dans le Grand Ouest (Bretagne, Pays de Loire et Poitou-Charentes). &lt;i&gt; «Le challenge de demain est de proposer des maisons à ossature bois à des prix d’entrée de gamme sans en altérer les performances, et de pénétrer le secteur du logement collectif»,&lt;/i&gt; annonce le Sessi, qui estime également nécessaire de mieux informer les acheteurs potentiels sur les avantages liés à ce type de bâtiment, et de pallier au manque de qualification spécifique de techniciens du bâtiment formés à ce type de construction.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt; Le commerce extérieur déficitaire&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;L’étude du Sessi note en outre que le commerce extérieur des industries du travail du bois, structurellement déficitaire &lt;i&gt; «depuis de nombreuses années», &lt;/i&gt; s’est dégradé en 2007. Le déficit commercial atteint désormais 1,7 milliard d’euros, contre seulement 0,8 milliard d’euros en 2000. C’est l’activité des scieries qui est la plus touchée, les importations ayant augmenté de 58% entre 2000 et 2006. Les panneaux de fibres et les panneaux de particules surfacés mélaminés tirent leur épingle du jeu, avec des soldes commerciaux excédentaires à respectivement 18 et 198 millions d’euros en 2007 &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1075989020710366040-3660650074999466223?l=oceamex.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://oceamex.blogspot.com/feeds/3660650074999466223/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1075989020710366040&amp;postID=3660650074999466223' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1075989020710366040/posts/default/3660650074999466223'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1075989020710366040/posts/default/3660650074999466223'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://oceamex.blogspot.com/2008/05/la-filire-bois-pse-40-milliards-deuros.html' title='La filière bois pèse 40 milliards d’euros en France'/><author><name>Oceamex Project</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1075989020710366040.post-1728762142464158170</id><published>2008-05-19T09:33:00.001+02:00</published><updated>2008-05-19T09:39:16.300+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='France'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='annonces immobilières'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='performance énergétique'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Jean-Louis Borloo'/><title type='text'>Les annonces immobilières affichent la performance énergétique</title><content type='html'>Voilà exactement ce dont je parlais dans mon article précédent, et voilà où doit arriver l'immobilier belge : en France, une nouvelle convention entre Jean-Louis Borloo ministre du développement durable, et les professionnels de l'immobilier, les annonces immobilières affichent désormais la &lt;a href="http://www.batiactu.com/data/16052008/16052008-183217.html"&gt;performance énergétique&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is exactly what I was talking about in my last article.

Après trois mois et demi de découvertes extraordinaires, de rencontres impromptues et de projets marquants, il est fort intéressant de se stabiliser et observer le monde qui bouge, ou qui ne bouge pas, selon les thèmes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En ce qui concerne mon projet, plusieurs choses sont fort intéressantes. La construction durable et les énergies renouvelables sont des thèmes d'intérêt pour tous. Il est à présent has-been de déclarer qu'on ne s'intéresse pas au développement durable, un vrai revirement. Les entreprises dont l'activité est éloignée des problématiques environnementales déclarent désormais que le développement durable est une priorité. J'en veux pour preuve la déclaration d'un cadre de Total Belgique à une récente conférence à laquelle j'ai assisté dans une grande business school bruxelloise. "Total agit quotidiennement pour l'environnement."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cette idée reflète entièrement la situation européenne actuelle du développement durable. D'un côté, une volonté d'agir et surtout de le montrer, et de l'autre, une vraie impuissance face aux moyens d'y parvenir, de façon plus ou moins volontaire. Comme je l'avais constaté en Australie et surtout aux Etats-Unis, ce qui fait avancer le marché est la labellisation, l'accompagnement qualité, le référencement des entreprises eco-friendly par un organe indépendant. Cette étape est fondamentale car elle fait un tri diabolique entre les vrais "DD-oriented" et les faux.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alors pourquoi ne le fait-on que trop peu en Belgique ? Eh bien tout simplement car il va de l'intérêt des grandes entreprises de ne pas avouer trop vite, sur base d'une analyse environnementale indépendante, que l'on fait partie des derniers de la classe en matière de performance énergétique, de respect des normes anti-pollution, de durabilité.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Le challenge se situe donc dans cette démarche de labellisation. Un pas va être franchi avec l'annonce officielle prochaine de l'approbation par la Région Wallonne du &lt;a href="http://blog.ecopilot.be/cluster-construction-durable-%e2%80%93-energie-2020"&gt;Cluster Construction Durable - Energie 2020&lt;/a&gt;, appelé à encourager et accompagner l'économie d'énergie et la durabilité dans la construction wallonne.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A bientôt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pierre-Loïc&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1075989020710366040-2878497155741113565?l=oceamex.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://oceamex.blogspot.com/feeds/2878497155741113565/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1075989020710366040&amp;postID=2878497155741113565' title='1 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1075989020710366040/posts/default/2878497155741113565'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1075989020710366040/posts/default/2878497155741113565'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://oceamex.blogspot.com/2008/05/la-construction-durable-en-belgique.html' title='La Construction durable en Belgique'/><author><name>Oceamex Project</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1075989020710366040.post-5003747793043942281</id><published>2008-05-02T10:47:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2008-05-02T11:10:54.658+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Centre Urbain'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='CSTC'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ICHEC'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ABEA'/><title type='text'>Agence bruxelloise de l'énergie, ICHEC Entreprises</title><content type='html'>Plusieurs rencontres durant les dernières semaines pour le projet ;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Début avril, rencontre avec l'Agence Bruxelloise de l'Energie (ABEA) , venant en aide aux Bruxellois soucieux d'un développement urbain durable dans leur habitat. L'agence est en pleine effervescence à l'occasion des conférences du Mois de Mai. Au menu de ces conférences, plusieurs interventions de spécialistes de l'écoconstruction, notamment du Centre Scientifique et Technique de la Construction CSTC, de bureaux d'études, et d'associations de promotion de l'éco-habitat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vous trouverez leur programme &lt;a href="http://www.curbain.be/download/ConferencesMai-juin2008.pdf"&gt;ici&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Un cycle de conférences a été présenté à l'ICHEC, organisé par le bureau de l'AIESEC, sur le thème du développement durable dans l'entreprise. Concentrées sur la politique durable de la stratégie d'entreprise, ces conférences m'intéressaient au plus haut point. Néanmoins, lorsqu'on sait que la construction est le premier poste de consommation d'énergies, le plus souvent non-renouvelables, lorsqu'on sait que les réglementations européennes imposent d'ici 2020 un minimum de 20% d'énergies renouvelables parmi la consommation globale, on s'étonne de ne voir aucune entreprise liée de près ou de loin à ce secteur. C'est le signe d'un travail encore important d'information sur le développement durable. Il reflète un stade encore précoce du développement durable dans les entreprises belges, qui se résume à une volonté (souvent), un objectif (très souvent), quelques faits (parfois), mais en aucun cas une priorité, si ce n'est dans les discours.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enjoy the blog&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pierre-Loïc&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1075989020710366040-5003747793043942281?l=oceamex.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://oceamex.blogspot.com/feeds/5003747793043942281/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1075989020710366040&amp;postID=5003747793043942281' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1075989020710366040/posts/default/5003747793043942281'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1075989020710366040/posts/default/5003747793043942281'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://oceamex.blogspot.com/2008/05/agence-bruxelloise-de-lnergie-ichec.html' title='Agence bruxelloise de l&apos;énergie, ICHEC Entreprises'/><author><name>Oceamex Project</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1075989020710366040.post-8137568221478352953</id><published>2008-04-22T16:23:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2008-04-22T16:29:55.490+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='jour de la terre'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Gaylord Nelson'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='22 avril'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='1970'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='earth day'/><title type='text'>Jour de la Terre</title><content type='html'>Aujourd'hui est le &lt;a href="http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth_day"&gt;jour de la Terre&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Le Jour de la Terre marque tous les ans l'anniversaire de la naissance, en &lt;a href="http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/1970" title="1970"&gt;1970&lt;/a&gt;, du mouvement environnemental tel qu'on le connaît aujourd'hui.

Un projet vient d'être lancé de 85 maisons en bois en région Rhône Alpes, qualifiées de THPE, très haute performance énergétique. La particularité de ce projet est d'être accessible aux revenus modestes. Une idée reçue de plus qui tombe dans la construction durable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="titleArticleIntContent"&gt; C’est parti ! Le chantier aux allures pavillonnaires de 85 maisons individuelles locatives vient de débuter à La Bâtie-Neuve dans les Hautes-Alpes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="titleArticleIntContent"&gt;Destinés à des familles à petits budgets, les loyers iront d’environ 386 euros HC pour un T3 à 505 euros HC pour un T5.&lt;br /&gt;Imaginé par le cabinet d’architectes dE &amp;amp; cRL, ce programme offre un paysage de petites maisons qui rempliront des objectifs d’économie d’énergie. Implanté sur un terrain avec vue sur la vallée, ce projet fait la part belle aux matières naturelles du bois pour le bardage et du zinc pour la toiture afin de «restituer l’imaginaire architectural des régions de montagne», souligne un communiqué du cabinet d’architectes.&lt;br /&gt;Ce projet qui a reçu le label très haute performance énergétique (THPE) se caractérise par le confort de son habitat. Les maisons bénéficieront ainsi d’une isolation performante par l’extérieur qui permettra un confort acoustique et thermique mais ce n’est pas tout ! Elles proposeront également une ventilation naturelle sans oublier la disposition de capteurs solaires sur le toit afin de couvrir plus de 51% des besoins en eau chaude sanitaire.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;b&gt; Luminosité et ouvertures&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;D’autre part, l’économie d’énergie provient aussi par le choix de l’implantation du site. Le terrain est peu boisé, en pente douce vers le sud, avec une vue dégagée sur 180° vers la vallée. Minutieusement pris en compte, l’installation des maisons sur le terrain suit les courbes de niveaux naturelles. Objectif : offrir des vues vers le sud et la vallée. De plus, les maisons sont séparées les unes des autres par des garages. Cet aménagement dégage trois orientations qui laissent entrer la lumière naturelle à l’intérieur de l’habitat et favorise un ensoleillement de tous les espaces publics et des jardins privatifs. Enfin, les logements sont perpendiculaires à la voierie pour minimiser le bruit, cadrer les perspectives à travers des espaces semi-publics (venelles, voies, placettes). Au final, le programme allie qualité environnementale, sociale et dynamisme régionale puisque cette opération devrait faire augmenter la population de la commune de 17%.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Découvrez le projet, &lt;a href="http://editorial.batiactu.com/edito/85-maisons-bois-pour-un-programme-locatif-thpe-587.php" target="_blank"&gt; en cliquant ici&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1075989020710366040-1538096158680771824?l=oceamex.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://oceamex.blogspot.com/feeds/1538096158680771824/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1075989020710366040&amp;postID=1538096158680771824' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1075989020710366040/posts/default/1538096158680771824'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1075989020710366040/posts/default/1538096158680771824'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://oceamex.blogspot.com/2008/04/maisons-bois-thpe.html' title='Maisons Bois THPE'/><author><name>Oceamex Project</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1075989020710366040.post-1827578815336386721</id><published>2008-04-01T13:59:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2008-04-01T14:03:27.374+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='borloo'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='bouygues immobilier'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ecolabels'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='développement durable'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ademe'/><title type='text'>Semaine du développement durable : place à l’action !</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;font-size:85%;" class="titlearticleint" &gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;Alors que le Grenelle de l’environnement invite les professionnels à se mobiliser contre le réchauffement climatique, c’est au tour du grand public d’être sensibilisé à travers la 6ème édition de la semaine du développement durable. Soutenues par les acteurs du secteur, de nombreuses opérations sont organisées cette année autour du thème «production et consommation durables». Détail. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;font-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:85%;"  &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;texte&gt;&lt;span class="titlearticleintcontent"&gt;«C'est l'occasion d'expliquer aux Français que le développement durable est non seulement possible mais également source de qualité de vie, de bien-être, de croissance et de pouvoir d'achat», explique Jean Louis Borloo, ministère de l’Ecologie, de l’Energie, du Développement Durable et de l’Aménagement du Territoire. Si les Français semblent bien avoir compris l’utilité du développement durable, le pratique t-il ? Pour aider le grand public à avoir de bons gestes, des entreprises, des collectivités, des associations, des services publics et des établissements scolaires mettent en place des actions pour promouvoir les gestes écologiques et sensibiliser le public aux différents sigles qui permettent d'identifier les produits durables. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="titlearticleintcontent"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Des événements partout en France&lt;/b&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="titlearticleintcontent"&gt;Parmi toutes les manifestations prévues à travers toute la France, vous pourrez par exemple Bouygues Immobilier propose un quiz des bons gestes, l’Aéroport de Paris sensibilisera à la qualité de l’air, l’Ademe participera à un débat sur la précarité énergétique, découvrir un prototype de maison passive à Pessac à côté de Bordeaux, admirer une exposition de mobilier de jardin et de maisons faites en réutilisant des palettes de bois dans le Limousin ou encore visionner un documentaire «Petites révolutions près de chez vous» sur la consommation responsable. De quoi faire le plein d'idées pour développer une attitude plus responsable et durable !&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="titlearticleintcontent"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Un événement national&lt;/b&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="titlearticleintcontent"&gt;Pour marquer la semaine avec un événement conséquent, un village du développement durable sera installé dans le Jardin des Plantes du Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle à Paris. Le public pourra y trouver des informations et des jeux afin de vivre une «expérience durable». Un parcours pédagogique et ludique passera par six domaines donnant une vision large des gestes à adopter. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="titlearticleintcontent"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Des écolabels pour se repérer&lt;/b&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="titlearticleintcontent"&gt;Comme il n'est pas toujours facile de se retrouver dans les produits correspondants aux critères écologiques, le Ministère de l'Ecologie souhaite également rappeler au public l'existence des Ecolabels. Dans les domaines de l'électroménager, des véhicules et des bâtiments, les étiquettes-énergie permettent par exemple de savoir, suivant un système de classification, le niveau de consommation atteint. Pour l'alimentation, les labels Agriculture Biologique et commerce équitable assurent pour l'un la non-utilisation de produits chimiques et pour l'autre la valorisation des petits producteurs. La sauvegarde des forêts est garantie elle par les appellations PEFC et FSC. Enfin le logo du recyclage garanti que le produit est recyclé si les consignes de tri sont respectées ! Au total, 2493 événements sont prévus à travers la France.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Source : Batiactu, 31-03-2008&lt;/texte&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;font-size:85%;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;date&gt;&lt;/date&gt;&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;!--[endif]--&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1075989020710366040-1827578815336386721?l=oceamex.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://oceamex.blogspot.com/feeds/1827578815336386721/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1075989020710366040&amp;postID=1827578815336386721' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1075989020710366040/posts/default/1827578815336386721'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1075989020710366040/posts/default/1827578815336386721'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://oceamex.blogspot.com/2008/04/semaine-du-dveloppement-durable-place.html' title='Semaine du développement durable : place à l’action !'/><author><name>Oceamex Project</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1075989020710366040.post-7183169494454466595</id><published>2008-03-18T14:18:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2008-03-18T14:48:53.339+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='pascal jacob'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='le monde'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='le nouvel observateur'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='batiweb'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='batiactu'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='figaro'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='le soir'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='internationale'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='étude'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='la libre belgique'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='construction'/><title type='text'>Etude internationale - Situation marché Construction durable</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Courrier envoyé le 18 mars 2008 aux rédactions de :&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Batiweb, Batiactu, Blog de Pascal Jacob, Le Monde, Le Nouvel Observateur, Le Soir, La Libre Belgique, Le Figaro, Libération, Ouest France, Vers L'Avenir, Canal C, TV Rennes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Bonjour,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-family:verdana;" &gt; La construction durable est désormais un enjeu économique. Certains croyaient qu'il s'agissait d'une mode, d'autres pensaient que le développement durable était réservé aux milieux financièrement aisés. La prise de conscience est mondiale, et les projets pullulent. Comme l'euphorie d'Internet dans les années 90, le développement durable a besoin de se structurer, de s'organiser, pour ne laisser progressivement la place qu'aux projets les plus solides. Pour la construction, c'est encore davantage le cas.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-family:verdana;" &gt; Lecteur impliqué de votre site Internet, consultant en construction durable à Bruxelles, collaborant pour le moment avec des entreprises et organisations australiennes et canadiennes dans des projets de développement d'activité en Europe, je reviens d'un projet de voyage autour du monde sur ce thème. Dans cette même direction, je travaille actuellement sur un gros projet d'analyse du secteur de la construction durable, dans une dimension comparative entre plusieurs pays. Cette étude constituera une vitrine tant intellectuelle que commerciale pour mon activité.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-family:verdana;" &gt; J'aimerais récolter un maximum d'informations sur le secteur de la construction durable dans une douzaine de pays européens, nord-américains et océaniens.

La décision devrait être entérinée samedi 15 mars à la clôture de la session annuelle de l'Assemblée nationale populaire (ANP). Cette promotion de l'institution vigie de l'environnement devrait lui permettre de plaider la cause de l'écologie au plus haut niveau de l'Etat chinois. Les ambitions de la SEPA, dont le vice-directeur, Pan Yue, est personnellement très impliqué dans le combat antipollution, s'étaient jusqu'à présent heurtées à un manque de moyens.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt; Lors de la présentation du projet à l'ANP, Hua Jianmin, le secrétaire général du Conseil d'Etat (gouvernement), a déclaré qu'il s'agissait d'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;"accélérer la construction d'une société économe en ressources et sensibilisée aux questions environnementales"&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;, ajoutant que &lt;/span&gt;&lt;i style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;"la tâche à accomplir pour réduire la pollution est gigantesque".&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;p style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Le premier ministre, Wen Jiabao, a annoncé la semaine dernière que la consommation d'énergie de la Chine rapportée au PIB avait reculé de 3,27 % en 2007, une bonne performance qui reste toutefois insuffisante au regard des engagements pris par la Chine d'ici à 2010. Ces derniers mois, la SEPA avait redoublé d'agressivité : elle a imposé à l'ensemble des sociétés des secteurs les plus consommateurs en énergie de rendre public leurs données d'impact environnemental.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;La réforme de la SEPA ne va toutefois pas résoudre à court terme les difficultés qu'elle rencontre au niveau local : la collusion entre les officiels locaux et les industriels parasite ses efforts de prévention, déplorent les écologistes chinois. Ses représentants locaux restent le plus souvent aux ordres du gouvernement local. L'immaturité des dirigeants d'entreprise, la complexité du tissu industriel et le nombre très élevé de petites et moyennes entreprises (PME) dans un environnement très concurrentiel font du contrôle une gageure : la nouvelle SEPA devrait voir passer ses effectifs permanents de 300 à 400 personnes - contre 18 000 employés pour son homologue américain.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Seul un rôle plus large donné à la société civile pourrait pallier ces faiblesses : mais les ONG chinoises, intimidées par toutes sortes de contraintes administratives et politiques, se cantonnent à des actions de sensibilisation et de pédagogie. Dans les villes, et surtout les zones rurales, des résidents qui se mobilisent contre des projets polluants ont non seulement du mal à se faire entendre, mais il n'est pas rare qu'ils soient harcelés, arrêtés par la police sur ordre des chefs locaux et, pour certains, condamnés à plusieurs années de prison ou de camp de travail pour des motifs spécieux. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div style="font-family: verdana;" class="lien"&gt;&lt;div class="author"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Brice Pedroletti&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1075989020710366040-4492446043560971553?l=oceamex.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://oceamex.blogspot.com/feeds/4492446043560971553/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1075989020710366040&amp;postID=4492446043560971553' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1075989020710366040/posts/default/4492446043560971553'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1075989020710366040/posts/default/4492446043560971553'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://oceamex.blogspot.com/2008/03/face-au-pril-cologique-pkin-cre-un.html' title='Face au péril écologique, Pékin crée un ministère de l&apos;environnement'/><author><name>Oceamex Project</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1075989020710366040.post-2389996584042370254</id><published>2008-03-13T18:01:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2008-03-13T18:05:34.677+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Belgique'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Namur'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Bois et Habitat'/><title type='text'>Oceamex Project - Salon Bois et Habitat 2008</title><content type='html'>Bonjour à tous,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Le projet Oceamex sera présent au salon Bois et Habitat à Namur, Belgique, ce week-end.

Quelles sont leurs préoccupations ? Retour sur les grands enjeux du secteur. «Confiantes en la conjoncture à court et moyen termes, les industries du bois mettent le cap sur l'investissement pour développer et améliorer leur productivité». C’est la conclusion de l’Observatoire 2008 Expobois de la filière bois française. Une enquête qui vise à recueillir les témoignages et les attentes des acteurs de la filière bois : sylviculture, première transformation, construction, ameublement, emballage, etc.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://com.batiactu.com/cap_pub/bin/cclic.php?p=1,2638,1" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Au cœur des préoccupations des professionnels du secteur : le développement durable. Cet enjeu important a un impact fort sur la filière, qui se dit sur le point de s’engager «dans un processus lourd de changement des mentalités et des comportements». Un enjeu devenu état d’esprit dans la filière et que certains considèrent encore comme «une contrainte réglementaire ou organisationnelle», mais surtout comme «une source de différenciation et une opportunité d’image». L’étude d’Expobois nous apprend que seules 19% des entreprises interrogées vendent des produits éco-certifiés. Mais «la généralisation est en cours et concernera tous les secteurs du bois d'ici 2009». La filière tient d’ailleurs à inciter les marchés publics et privés à réaliser des achats éco-certifiés, «pour inciter l'amont et instaurer des pratiques écologiquement vertueuses», précise-t-elle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conjoncture favorable et hausse des prix&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;De façon plus générale, «82% des professionnels interrogés estiment que la conjoncture est plutôt bonne à court et moyen termes et 78% d'entre eux sont également convaincus sur le long terme», nous apprend l’étude. Une tendance qui se vérifie dans tous les secteurs et en premier lieu dans l'emballage (100%), suivi par l'exploitation forestière (92%). Très optimistes également : les secteurs de la transformation (90%), de l'ameublement (73%), du bois énergie et du négoce bois (75%) où les acteurs sont nombreux à ressentir une conjoncture favorable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alors que les prix du bois continuent d’augmenter, la filière sait qu'elle doit optimiser sa production. Ainsi, «66% des acteurs de la filière affirment avoir des projets d'investissement pour l'année 2008», selon Expobois. La filière investit donc pour relever des défis : 93% des interrogés ont pour priorité d’obtenir un gain de productivité. Viennent ensuite le gain de flexibilité (87%), puis l'amélioration de la manutention et du stockage (78%) et enfin la diversification des gammes de (75%). &lt;a href="http://editorial.batiactu.com/edito/observatoire-2008-expobois-de-la-filiere-bois-fran-542.php" target=""&gt;Cliquez ici pour en savoir plus.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Le salon Expobois - &lt;a href="http://www.expobois.fr/"&gt;http://www.expobois.fr/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Quand : du mercredi 12 au samedi 15 mars 2008, de 9h à 18h&lt;br /&gt;Où : Parc des Expositions de Paris-Nord Villepinte - Halls 3 &amp;amp;4&lt;br /&gt;Qui expose : fournisseurs de la filière bois (transformation, outillage, ingénierie, environnement, contrôle, manutention, équipements...)&lt;br /&gt;Qui visite : professionnels (industriels, entrepreneurs, artisans et négociants de la filière bois)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1075989020710366040-2938800436484898659?l=oceamex.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://oceamex.blogspot.com/feeds/2938800436484898659/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1075989020710366040&amp;postID=2938800436484898659' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1075989020710366040/posts/default/2938800436484898659'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1075989020710366040/posts/default/2938800436484898659'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://oceamex.blogspot.com/2008/03/expobois-observatoire-2008-de-la-filire.html' title='Expobois : Observatoire 2008 de la filière Bois en France'/><author><name>Oceamex Project</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1075989020710366040.post-764379175054897726</id><published>2008-03-12T10:42:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2008-03-12T10:46:19.877+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='France'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='vacances écologiques'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='PNUE'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Johannesburg'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Sommet mondial sur le développement durable'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Brésil'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='passeport vert'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='éco-tourisme'/><title type='text'>Le Programme des Nations Unies pour l'environnement (PNUE) lance le "passeport vert"</title><content type='html'>Source Batiweb.com - 7 mars 2008&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.batiweb.com/news/a.asp?ref=08031107"&gt;http://www.batiweb.com/news/a.asp?ref=08031107&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Le Programme des Nations Unies pour l'environnement (PNUE) a lancé vendredi la campagne internationale du "Passeport Vert", qui vise à orienter les touristes vers des choix de vacances responsables.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alors que l'augmentation ininterrompue du nombre touristes entraîne automatiquement une hausse de la demande en énergie, eau, et ressources naturelles, l'agence de l'ONU pour l'environnement souhaite donc fournir aux voyageurs les informations leur permettant de réduire leur impact sur l'environnement et la société.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"En naviguant sur le site du Passeport Vert, les visiteurs pourront trouver des conseils pratiques pour réduire leur empreinte écologique environnementale et sociale pendant leur séjour.

font-family: Arial;" lang="EN-GB"&gt;I’ve just had the opportunity to visit an eco-friendly homes project in the north of Puebla, in Tlaxcala. This project, called Proyecto San Isidro, has been built by a family very involved in alternative projects. The discussion we had with the architect was really enriching, because she has a strong knowledge of the Mexican eco-market. Alejandra is definitely a good advisor for the following steps in Mexico.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u1:p style="font-family: arial;"&gt;&lt;/u1:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;" lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was explained the building process by my friend Vincent, and the chief builder. In this case, there was an existing structure that was holding the roof, Then the straw bale are used to make the walls. This represents one week work for a 4 people-team.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After that the cob (made from earth and straw) is applied between the straw bale. The strength of the two components is more than real. This step represents two weeks work for a 4-people work. It’s as hard as stone. On the walls you can find glass rubbish recuperation, which represents a good decoration idea.&lt;u1:p&gt;&lt;/u1:p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then a mix of straw pieces and earth is applied, so that the walls become slick. One week work for a 4-people team. Then there can be a recovering material made of lime and sand. One more week for a 4-people team.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The last step for some finishings is to recover the walls with flaxseed oil to protect it from the sun, rain, insects and to make the colors more visible.&lt;u1:p&gt;&lt;/u1:p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is a grey water treatment system, that purifies the water that comes from the shower, sink, washing machine, etc. The plants absorb&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;" lang="EN-GB"&gt;s the impurities (even the heavy metals) and treat the water so that it can be used to water the garden, wash the car, etc.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;" lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Such a project, for a medium house of 80 m², represents 6 months-work for a 4-people team. &lt;u1:p&gt;&lt;/u1:p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let me tell you the houses I’ve seen are really nice, inside as much as outside. These are extraordinary examples of the capacity local projects have to build both ecological and high-standing houses. The construction standards are respected, the energy savings are huge, the strength of the components is impressive, and they’re of course esthetically well inserted in their environment.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;For further information feel free to visit their website http://www.proyectosanisidro.com.mx/&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Enjoy the blog.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Pierre-Loïc&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1075989020710366040-8571867908899280554?l=oceamex.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://oceamex.blogspot.com/feeds/8571867908899280554/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1075989020710366040&amp;postID=8571867908899280554' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1075989020710366040/posts/default/8571867908899280554'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1075989020710366040/posts/default/8571867908899280554'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://oceamex.blogspot.com/2008/03/ecological-homes-visit-tlaxcala.html' title='Ecological homes visit - Tlaxcala'/><author><name>Oceamex Project</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1075989020710366040.post-2914214931518103514</id><published>2008-02-26T18:49:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2008-03-06T06:54:04.679+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Achitecture'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Premanufactured'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Rapson Greenbelt'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Prefabricated Home'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Inhabitat.com'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Design'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Eco-friendly'/><title type='text'>Eco-friendly design concept group - Inhabitat.com</title><content type='html'>Hello everyone&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's a very interesting design concept group I've known thanks to my project partners in Mexico, Jeff and Vincent. &lt;a href="http://www.inhabitat.com/"&gt;http://www.inhabitat.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;"Inhabitat.com is a weblog devoted to the future of design, tracking the innovations in technology, practices and materials that are pushing architecture and home design towards a smarter and more sustainable future."&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is really interesting as a website, especially for my architect friends.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Directly in link with the project, the "Rapson Greenbelt", presented on Inhabitat.com, is a sustainable prefab home concept.

In terms of pollution and sustainable development, lots of projects are being organized, and there is a real will from the city of Mexico to resolve ecological problems, and get forward on the way to environment respect, especially on the construction sector, which is, let's remember it, the first source of pollution in the world, before industry.

The  department for housing and works wants to have a meeting with me to talk further on my business project, aimed to assist exporting Australian building companies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I had great meetings during last weeks, with environmentally involved persons in New Caledonia, and it's great to see there's a great enthousiasm around Oceamex Project.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enjoy the blog&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pierre-Loïc&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1075989020710366040-7279489182030231352?l=oceamex.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://oceamex.blogspot.com/feeds/7279489182030231352/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1075989020710366040&amp;postID=7279489182030231352' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1075989020710366040/posts/default/7279489182030231352'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1075989020710366040/posts/default/7279489182030231352'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://oceamex.blogspot.com/2008/02/sustainable-building-networking.html' title='Sustainable building networking expansion in New Caledonia'/><author><name>Oceamex Project</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1075989020710366040.post-3306060802768184106</id><published>2008-01-22T10:38:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2008-01-22T10:41:28.119+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='perspectives europe new zealand sustainable construction business development'/><title type='text'>New Zealander perspectives on the European sustainable housing market</title><content type='html'>These were really intensive two weeks project management in New Zealand. Of course the companies are not as big as Australian ones, in terms of production. But I’m really impressed with the capacity New Zealander have to keep a step forward in terms of housing innovation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The two examples I’ve seen on Kapiti Coast, a cedar park on one hand, and a sustainable retirement village on the other hand, look like representing quite interesting business opportunities for the European market.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In terms of networking the Kiwi stage of the project was really impressive. In 2 weeks I’ve had more than 30 direct contacts, and on these 30 contacts I’ve had at least four of them having a direct interest for my business project in Europe, which is few and a lot at the same time, for such a period. It was the opportunity to better-know a potential partner in Wellington, as interested as I am in sustainable problematics and doing business around them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In terms of things to improve, there is a big gap to reduce on insulation systems and houses structure for an important part of the housing sector. This concerns more the renovation market, on the middle-class houses. For sure it represents a certain market for the European manufacturers, because although the wheather is good, the energy savings have a large progress margin, and this is only possible by reinforcing the building structure.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I’m quite enthousiast after this stage of the project. If the Australian stage may have represented fewer but bigger contacts, the New Zealander stage has been a real opportunity to develop a big network with smaller actors, which is as much interesting for a low-sized consulting business like mine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After almost two months, the Oceamex Project is already a success project, because it’s been a wonderful opportunity to develop a real expertise on what’s built and thought in terms of sustainable housing and building in the two big Oceanian countries. It’s been the opportunity of building a network of more than 50 direct contacts with companies and public organizations. Finally it’s been a strong opportunity to make my project better-known on these markets, which is already great, all proportions put aside.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now the project is getting to French offshore territory New-Caledonia, 3000 km away from the north-east Australian coast. This stage of 2 weeks will be the opportunity to develop contacts almost exclusively with public authorities. It will also be the opportunity to develop and reinforce the already taken business contacts this project has allowed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enjoy the blog and talk to you soon&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pierre-Loïc&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1075989020710366040-3306060802768184106?l=oceamex.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://oceamex.blogspot.com/feeds/3306060802768184106/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1075989020710366040&amp;postID=3306060802768184106' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1075989020710366040/posts/default/3306060802768184106'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1075989020710366040/posts/default/3306060802768184106'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://oceamex.blogspot.com/2008/01/new-zealander-perspectives-on-european.html' title='New Zealander perspectives on the European sustainable housing market'/><author><name>Oceamex Project</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1075989020710366040.post-2035105074059911978</id><published>2008-01-19T03:24:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2008-01-19T04:10:08.420+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='geography business development energy savings'/><title type='text'>Geography and ecological business development</title><content type='html'>Yesterday I had a contact with a Dutch consultant, whose activity if to find the best eco-friendly place for a company to establish its buildings and save energy costs.

His company is really impressive, with high development potential in New Zealand, and a huge implication in sustainable problematics.

I’d be very interested in helping them to develop their villages on the European market.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is definitely one more really interesting business contact for me when I’ll be back to Europe.

Many of you are asking me about what I’m seeing here and it’s really great.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I’ve made a really interesting report in Paraparaumu, on Kapiti Coast, in the north of Wellington. For sure this report will bring me a lot. Let me expose it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First I’ve been through a really recent neighborhood of more or less 300 houses, with a very clear inscription at the entrance : “Cedar Park”. Indeed, houses look very eco-friendly, with a timber structure and timber decks, and cedar roofs and garage doors. They’re really nice and really translate the national will of being closer to the environment, by building still more sustainable houses. This report gave me the opportunity of taking interesting contacts on the kiwi building sector, and these contacts will surely be profitable for the future of the project in Europe. Look at the pictures below.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5155990850143458578" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_wepw7YWHO8Y/R43CXE_3FRI/AAAAAAAAAgg/CF3NAHMK5b4/s320/P.+029.jpg" border="0" /&gt; &lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5155991464323781922" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_wepw7YWHO8Y/R43C60_3FSI/AAAAAAAAAgo/zCIisFCPfoo/s320/P.+025.jpg" border="0" /&gt; &lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5155992035554432306" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_wepw7YWHO8Y/R43DcE_3FTI/AAAAAAAAAgw/1p89ODxKA-w/s320/P.+022.jpg" border="0" /&gt; &lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5155992654029722946" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_wepw7YWHO8Y/R43EAE_3FUI/AAAAAAAAAg4/Lj8ToPKC9Pw/s320/P.+013.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then I’ve visited a very interesting neighborhood close to the cedar park. This is called “retirement village”. Houses are nice, eco-friendly, spacious, and have been built in a very safe village. In its centre you can find a medical centre, with rooms and new medical material, which confirms this village has been made for elder people, so to make their lives easier, safer and more human than some of our European homes for old people. I’ve taken pictures and videos of this village, and I’d be verry happy to get a contact with the builder and owner of this village. This kind of structure is called to grow a lot in Europe in the next years, and I want to take part of this development, by proposing interesting and experienced suppliers abroad, and helping builders to get the best service from these suppliers. The idea is launched.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;See the pictures of these houses below.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5155993440008738130" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_wepw7YWHO8Y/R43Et0_3FVI/AAAAAAAAAhA/RHu1320ief8/s320/P.+003.jpg" border="0" /&gt; &lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5155993955404813666" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_wepw7YWHO8Y/R43FL0_3FWI/AAAAAAAAAhI/agUPbGUni3U/s320/P.+008.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As a last part of my report, I’ve had a contact with a collaborator of Kapiti Coast Council. This person is actually responsible for all sustainable projects in the region, and I’m sure this contact can really help me to develop my business network, so to be sure to propose the best services to my future clients in Europe. What is really interesting is that this person is now on a public side after a long experience in the industry, which means he knows what business implies as rules and difficulties.

After an interesting walk in the CBD, we’ve crossed the port, seen the wonderful New Zealander America’s Cup boat, and then walked along very nice and modern buildings. First impression : they’re all really grey, such as many modern buildings or houses we’ve seen before in Australia. Is there something behind that ? Question to resolve.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can have a look on the pictures below, representing as well private buildings as companies offices, like Vodafone, Microsoft, HP, PWC or KPMG. It would be interesting to get a contact with their builders, so to know why everything’s so grey, and if they are as sustainable as they look. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5153984344501982274" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_wepw7YWHO8Y/R4ahdE_3FEI/AAAAAAAAAeU/OKGERBlr6fs/s320/P.+002.jpg" border="0" /&gt; &lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5153987123345822802" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_wepw7YWHO8Y/R4aj-0_3FFI/AAAAAAAAAec/FbXIECVfR1w/s320/P.+004.jpg" border="0" /&gt; &lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5153988029583922274" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_wepw7YWHO8Y/R4akzk_3FGI/AAAAAAAAAek/qyYd1ua_mZw/s320/P.+008.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Good thing to say, Auckland city has installed sun energy horodators in streets.

As potential suppliers, Australian builders and architects look like covering a real technological pioneer role.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In terms of housing, Australians want to keep before anything else an environmental-friendly quality. They’re building houses in direct proximity with the green and marine environment they’re living in, and it’s something we can observe on the new houses, which is really encouraging. As an example, they’ve built in Torquay, one of the most interesting cities in terms of tourism in Southern Australia, a new neighborhood, named Ocean Beach, composed of very modern houses, in the aim of attracting an upper category of Melbourne and Sydney people, interested in the surf beaches, in a very modern way of building, but also interested in environmental-friendly houses, well-inserted in their direct environment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks to the meetings I’ve had with architects and houses builders, I can now say that Australians have already worked a lot on sustainable ways of building houses. They’re totally advanced on this point and look really strong in front of the North-American and North-European builders.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In terms of competitivity, the geographic proximity between Australia on one hand and China and India on the other hand are very relevant advantages for Australians manufacturers. The competitive aspect added to this geographical proximity represents a guarantee of quality control on products, one thing they say as one their first priorities.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;More than these business opportunities with manufacturers and builders, the first contacts I’ve made with the governmental authorities, for instance in Western Australia, are really interesting. On one hand I’ve had a contact with the foreign trade department, and on the other hand with the Australian foreign trade commission, which is still closer to the market and implied in their business development. These first contacts represent a real interest from Australian companies and authorities to develop sustainable building, and global building market, with Europe. Although these contacts are till now purely formal introductions, I’ll make sure they can represent a gateway to developing global business partnerships between European and Australian companies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Furthermore, I’ll make sure all this information and all these contacts will get further by proposing an interesting marketing and business development support supply to both European and Australian sides.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enjoy the blog.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pierre-Loïc&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1075989020710366040-2459172837954441938?l=oceamex.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://oceamex.blogspot.com/feeds/2459172837954441938/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1075989020710366040&amp;postID=2459172837954441938' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1075989020710366040/posts/default/2459172837954441938'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1075989020710366040/posts/default/2459172837954441938'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://oceamex.blogspot.com/2008/01/perspectives-on-sustainable-housing.html' title='Perspectives on sustainable housing business development between Australia and Europe'/><author><name>Oceamex Project</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1075989020710366040.post-8642021638810861393</id><published>2008-01-03T06:21:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2008-01-04T03:42:22.427+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Queensland'/><title type='text'>Queensland</title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt;We’ve crossed Queensland through Gold Coast, Brisbane, Burnett Heads, Agnes Water, 1770 Town, Miriam Vale, Monto, Eilsvold, Gympie, Noosa.

getting to Melbourne I had the opportunity of visiting a new neighborhood in the south coast of Victoria, in Torquay, one of the best places for surfing in Australia. These houses were really amazing because they were really modern but very well inserted in their wild environment, close to the plains and beaches. Check videos and pictures below.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What I suggest is to get a contact with the promoter of this neighborhood for further details.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Merry Christmas to all,

/&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;After two weeks in Australia, we’ve had the opportunity to see the importance of renewable energies in this country. On the public sector, we’ve seen that the Australians have been using sun energy a lot, in the street lights for instance. This energy is present in all kinds of towns, which means that it has a certain past in the Australian urbanism. Nevertheless, this kind of energy in the street lights represents a minority, which means that there’s still lots of things to develop in this area.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enjoy the blog&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pierre-Loic&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1075989020710366040-2100199829627067978?l=oceamex.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://oceamex.blogspot.com/feeds/2100199829627067978/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1075989020710366040&amp;postID=2100199829627067978' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1075989020710366040/posts/default/2100199829627067978'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1075989020710366040/posts/default/2100199829627067978'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://oceamex.blogspot.com/2007/12/renewable-energies-in-public-sector.html' title='Renewable energies in the public sector'/><author><name>Oceamex Project</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp0.blogger.com/_wepw7YWHO8Y/R2n6Mk_3EoI/AAAAAAAAAaE/ji1H1hrfukU/s72-c/P.+038.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1075989020710366040.post-7163708302445191920</id><published>2007-12-18T12:38:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2007-12-25T08:56:25.106+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='wind energy australia'/><title type='text'>Wind energy in Australia</title><content type='html'>Last week we’ve been through south Western. Passing through Margaret River, Augusta, Templeton, Bunbury, we’ve seen many desert places, close to cities. It’s pretty interesting to see that all these places are really windy and present many uncovered places along the ocean. It’s sure that Australians have a big experience in terms of sun and warmness energy, but till now I’ve only seen few eolians. It could be interesting to talk about it to one of my belgian college friends’ father, implied in the implement of eolians abroad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_wepw7YWHO8Y/R2n4-E_3EmI/AAAAAAAAAZ0/xGW43eGBYvU/s1600-h/P.+005.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5145917794624672354" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center;" alt="" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_wepw7YWHO8Y/R2n4-E_3EmI/AAAAAAAAAZ0/xGW43eGBYvU/s320/P.+005.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With the contact I have now in the WA government, I could be the business link between the two. Thus I suggest to send an e-mail to my friend’s father, explaining the project, and talking about these different points. I know he’s already installed in Argentina, Chile and other far countries. He could be interested in this implementation. I also suggest to talk about it to his two sons, who have the responsibilities of the other business unit of the company.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In South Australia eolians have already been installed on the front-of-sea.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Have a look on the video below.

That's a thing we've seen from the beginning of the trip. In Perth, and now in Adelaide, we've to admit the ability of Australians to manage a strong demand without forgetting their quality of life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In Glenelg, 10 km from Adelaide city centre, there are huge beautiful beaches. 2 reasons why Australians want to get there for holidays or simply for living. Local authorities and promoters have made a great job and succeeded in their work. The front-of-the-sea houses are sometimes big or high, but they're never giving the impression of leaving environment aside.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While I had the pleasure to spend time there, I've

type='text'>First week in Australia</title><content type='html'>Well, the first week in Australia was really interesting. Let’s make a first synthesis ;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have a contact with the Western-Australian government, through its energy and foreign trade ministry. I have names, e-mails, functions and phone numbers of the ministers in charge of the business sectors that concern my project. This a first relevant step. For instance, this is a way to connect companies through existing connections, and it can help my activity in Europe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then, I’ve got a contact with the economic person of the Alliance Francaise in Perth. In terms of networking, this person can be a very good French contact for the following steps of my relationships with the Australian construction market.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Concerning ideas of construction, I’ve made a little pics report in the town of Mandurah, in the south of Perth, where a pilot sustainable houses neighborhood has been built. It can be watched on the slideshow on the right of the home page of the blog, as well as on my picasaweb account.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In terms of business, I’ve made an interesting visit in a timber industry in Nannup. His sales manager is interested in developing business in France and Europe, and has a good opinion on introducing him to the distributors, builders and promoters through a consulting mission I would provide to them. This is definitely a contact to keep for me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last but not least, I have a contact with the trade commission of the federal Australian government. This commission gives assistance to companies in their export development. It’s a wonderful contact for my prospection projects in Australia, because this commission is the typical kind of organization I would like to work for.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The project is going on with South Australia, and then South Wales.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Talk to you soon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Regards,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pierre-Loïc&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1075989020710366040-2848750906316444012?l=oceamex.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://oceamex.blogspot.com/feeds/2848750906316444012/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1075989020710366040&amp;postID=2848750906316444012' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1075989020710366040/posts/default/2848750906316444012'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1075989020710366040/posts/default/2848750906316444012'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://oceamex.blogspot.com/2007/12/first-week-in-australia.html' title='First week in Australia'/><author><name>Oceamex Project</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1075989020710366040.post-64481614232080792</id><published>2007-12-11T01:35:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2007-12-11T01:40:00.668+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Sustainable construction reference books</title><content type='html'>I was told about few very interesting books regarding sustainable construction methods and perspectives.

Today we were in southern WA, on the road from Margaret River to Bunbury. We went through Augusta, Penberton, Nannup and Bunsbury.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;More than a fantastic way of discoverings, I had today very interesting potential business contacts, within a company located in Nannup. This company manufactures lumber for roofing, flooring and decking as well for private houses as commercial or social buildings. I first had a discussion with the thechnical manager. He proposed me very kindly the visit of the factory. 600.000 lumber m3 are manufactured every month in the branch. The company is part of a big group, whose presence is everywhere in Australia. They’re very present on export programs to Asia, North America and a little bit in Europe. Then I had a meeting with their sales manager, whom I explained what I can propose them, as a consulting service to develop their business in Europe. He told me about the weak costs of transport they currently have with Europe. He also told me about their niche strategy, which I answered him being totally corresponding to any start of expansion on the very various french market.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The best was to come. This sales manager is in close contacts with the Australian Trade Commission. As part of the australian federal government, this commission gives assistance to companies in their export strategies. They’ve recently proposed a certain number of companies to take part in a business programm, in the aim of developing business in Middle-East and Russia, on the construction sector. Great !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It’s typically a fantastic contact for me. The services I can propose to these companies become fully profitable if they’re resulting from a deep analysis, and a very long relationship work with potential customers. Instead of proposing the same small service to different companies, it’s more interesting for everyone to get to a global consulting supply, with a global market analysis, and why not the reception of a delegation of companies in France. This global approach reduces thus the prices for the manufacturers, as they’re making it collectively, and represents for me a more interesting intellectual and business work, at the same cost. Global doesn’t mean massive. After that it’s anyway interesting to personalize the service by organizing meetings with potential partners that strictly correspond to the business profile of the manufacturer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Things have been explained and it’s a really good contact for me.What I suggest is thus to keep contact with this company (sending an e-mail to the sales manager explaining what we can do for them in terms of business development in France), and at the same time to enter in contact with the Australian Trade Commission, in order to present the project and try to develop relationships with them.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1075989020710366040-8479486114168863454?l=oceamex.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://oceamex.blogspot.com/feeds/8479486114168863454/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1075989020710366040&amp;postID=8479486114168863454' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1075989020710366040/posts/default/8479486114168863454'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1075989020710366040/posts/default/8479486114168863454'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://oceamex.blogspot.com/2007/12/nannup-to.html' title='WA Timber Industry'/><author><name>Oceamex Project</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1075989020710366040.post-8215926835181188430</id><published>2007-12-07T02:22:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2007-12-12T08:21:02.460+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Mandurah sustainable houses'/><title type='text'>Mandurah sustainable houses</title><content type='html'>Wednesday, 5 December 2007&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Things are going well.We had a contact yesterday with the australian government, through its representants in Perth. Thanks to this contact I have now the name and details of the persons to deal with as well in terms of foreign trade as sustainable housing in Western Australia. During a short meeting in the offices of WA Government on St George's Terrae, I had the opportunity of presenting the objectives of my mission in Europe. What I suggest is to present properly projects and objectives to these different ministers. Situation of the construction market in France, opportunities for australian manufacturers, business sectors to develop. Then I would propose to analyse the current relationships between the australian and european building industries, and benefit from these current relationships to develop business contacts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the road to Margaret River, in the south of Perth, I had the opportunity to visit a pilot area of sustainable houses (lotissement pilote), in Mandurah. They’ve built there an extraordinary business platform, with renewable-energy sustainable houses. This area is a perfect vitrin of what Australian builders are currently developing. On this basis, I would suggest to contact Mandurah authorities, and get a contact with the company that built these houses. You can have a look on the pics below.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/pierreloic.nihoul/Oceamex/photo#5141037394239759394"&gt;&lt;img src="http://lh3.google.com/pierreloic.nihoul/R1iiRYypJCI/AAAAAAAAASk/FTg2zIRSNO0/s144/P.%20169.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/pierreloic.nihoul/Oceamex/photo#5141037437189432370"&gt;&lt;img src="http://lh5.google.com/pierreloic.nihoul/R1iiT4ypJDI/AAAAAAAAASs/aJ7J0b1yiq0/s144/P.%20170.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/pierreloic.nihoul/Oceamex/photo#5141037493024007234"&gt;&lt;img src="http://lh6.google.com/pierreloic.nihoul/R1iiXIypJEI/AAAAAAAAAS0/qQlluecmSQM/s144/P.%20171.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/pierreloic.nihoul/Oceamex/photo#5141037604693156962"&gt;&lt;img src="http://lh4.google.com/pierreloic.nihoul/R1iidoypJGI/AAAAAAAAATE/hE8igVR6iVU/s144/P.%20173.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/pierreloic.nihoul/Oceamex/photo#5141037540268647506"&gt;&lt;img src="http://lh5.google.com/pierreloic.nihoul/R1iiZ4ypJFI/AAAAAAAAAS8/LDtmJLdcr-4/s144/P.%20172.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;A bientôt&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;Pierre-Loïc&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1075989020710366040-8215926835181188430?l=oceamex.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://oceamex.blogspot.com/feeds/8215926835181188430/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1075989020710366040&amp;postID=8215926835181188430' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1075989020710366040/posts/default/8215926835181188430'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1075989020710366040/posts/default/8215926835181188430'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://oceamex.blogspot.com/2007/12/mandurah-sustainable-houses.html' title='Mandurah sustainable houses'/><author><name>Oceamex Project</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1075989020710366040.post-7956560560019415947</id><published>2007-12-07T02:19:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2007-12-07T02:22:00.197+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Perth'/><title type='text'>Perth</title><content type='html'>Tuesday, 4 December 2007&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Perth looks like a cousin of Vancouver in British Columbia. With the proximity of the sea, the modern buildings and the very large roads, we feel like being in Western Canada. This comparison goes to the way of building houses, which is quite similar. As previewed before the departure, this market is a good target for Canadian manufacturers. And if they build such kinds of houses, they can probably propose such products to the european market. To be continued..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks to our friend David Blenkinsop, formally director of Perth festival, we have a contact with the economic reperesentant at the alliance francaise of Perth, to present the project and exchange points of views on construction in Europe and Australia.

Bien entendu il est très motivant de se préoccuper et surtout de tenter de faire avancer cette problématique à son échelle. Bien entendu il est motivant de se préoccuper de l'avenir de la planète, en gardant une forte humilité et en ne tombant pas dans un combat purement idéologique.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ce qui est déterminant dans ce projet, c'est l'actuel gap entre une demande énorme et déterminée à construire et habiter durablement, et une offre, certes déterminée, mais totalement dispersée, peu organisée, et surtout peu expérimentée. C'est un constat que je fais depuis deux ans et le début de ma collaboration avec une agence gouvernementale canadienne, dans des programmes de mise en relation commerciale entre fournisseurs canadiens et clients français. Plusieurs partenariats ont été et continueront d'être signés, avec des constructeurs ou fournisseurs qui ont compris que c'est maintenant qu'il faut être prêt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Les Scandinaves et les Canadiens ont un vécu et une expérience qui légitimisent leur capacité de répondre à cette demande en pleine explosion. Je pense qu'ils ne sont peut-être pas les seuls. En tous les cas, c'est ce que j'ai lu et entendu, et je vais aller m'en rendre compte directement sur place.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;J'ai donc décidé d'élargir mes connaissances dans ce domaine, de même que mon réseau de fournisseurs, vers l'Australie, la Nouvelle-Zélande et le Mexique.  Visites de chantiers, rencontres de fédérations professionnelles, entretiens avec des consultants français établis sur place sont au menu de ce projet, et j'ai hâte de revenir avec des idées de projets et des propositions de partenariats ou accords de distribution en Europe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A bientôt pour les premiers constats et contacts.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:78%;"&gt;Pierre-Loïc Nihoul&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1075989020710366040-2970120115594046812?l=oceamex.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://oceamex.blogspot.com/feeds/2970120115594046812/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1075989020710366040&amp;postID=2970120115594046812' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1075989020710366040/posts/default/2970120115594046812'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1075989020710366040/posts/default/2970120115594046812'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://oceamex.blogspot.com/2007/11/pourquoi-la-construction-durable.html' title='Pourquoi la construction durable ?'/><author><name>Oceamex Project</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1075989020710366040.post-7941461924922704491</id><published>2007-11-28T16:24:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2007-11-28T16:42:22.947+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Objectif</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:78%;"&gt;C'est parti !
