combine durability and profitability with Green Office®
Avant-garde buildings
Green Office® buildings respect future regulations on insulation and energy consumption: a fact that guarantees durability and profit when the building is sold!
The same overall costs as conventional buildings
High rents can be charged for pioneering, top-end Green Office® buildings. But for occupants, the overall cost is the same as that of a traditional building, thanks to the sharp drop in energy costs.
Positive-energy buildings
Green Office® buildings generate more power, from renewable sources, than they consume. The excess energy can be sold, generating additional income.
A unique lever of communication
Businesses that invest in Green Office® buildings are pioneers,
who are strongly committed to sustainable development.
Reconciling comfort and energy savings with Green Office®
Working in a Green Office® building creates numerous advantages for both the company and its employees:
Lower electricity bills
Green Office® buildings consume very little electricity, resulting in much lower electricity bills..
These figures include every form of consumption, from the power that is consumed by the building itself (heating, lighting, etc.) to the electricity consumed by the occupants or for office automation purposes.
Green Office® buildings generate their own power from renewable sources, and in particular solar energy. They even generate more energy than they consume, which is why they are called positive energy buildings.
Bouygues Immobilier and its electric power utility partners give you a contractual guarantee of savings on your electricity bills.
Natural comfort at no additional cost
Green Office® building redefine the very notion of comfort, delivering benefits that range from natural light and safe, healthy materials, to improved insulation and soundproofing. A more natural environment that is in harmony with human habits.
The sense of well-being at work of every employee is objectively heightened. The buildings provide better working conditions, and achieve a better balance for improved health and productivity. Visitors, customers and partners alike all benefit from the gain in comfort, which comes at no additional cost.
While the rent of innovative Green Office® buildings, featuring leading-edge technologies, may be higher than that of a traditional building, the overall cost is similar to that of buildings meeting the standards of current thermal regulations (TR 2005).
An active contribution to sustainable development
A high-profile image as a responsible company.
Occupying a Green Office® building conveys a dynamic, avant-garde business image, demonstrating the company's commitment to environmental protection and the improvement of employees' working conditions.
Opting for a Green Office® building is part of a corporate policy
of social responsibility.
This choice can be highlighted in the company's reports on activity and sustainable development, and in communications with shareholders and employees.
Protect quality of life and the environment with Green Office®
Reflecting the national roundtable on the environment, local authorities have made the well-being and the quality of life of their constituents a key priority. The construction of Green Office® buildings extends this commitment to the workplace!
A strong commitment to sustainable development
Green Office® buildings generate their own power from renewable sources, slash CO2 emissions and are built using healthy, recycled and/or recyclable materials. The construction of a Green Office® building is a real commitment to sustainable development.
This approach also fits in with the Agenda 21 programme.
Adopted in 1992 by 173 countries, Agenda 21 sets out a programme of actions for the sustainable development of the planet in the 21st century.
In association with their local partners (business, residents, agencies), local authorities have been invited to draw up their own Agenda 21 on a local scale.
A lever for growth
A lever for growth
Green Office® brings together partners in the value chain, who share the same environmental, social and economic concerns: a fact that ensures the success of this attractive project.
For business, Green Office® buildings are a lever of sustainable development and social responsibility. They boost the economic development of your area by attracting the most dynamic businesses.
The rise in demand for office space is being fuelled by the growth
of the services sector.
Green Office® delivers the ideal solution for today's business needs, while promoting sustainable and controlled development.
Reduced energy costs
Green Office® buildings generate more power than they consume.
The excess power is channeled into the mains supply network for use by local residents.
The local generation of electricity from renewable sources enables the local authorities to keep their energy costs under control and to make an active contribution to sustainable development.
The agreements signed as part of the national roundtable on the environment mean that positive energy buildings will be mandatory in 2020. This means that Green Office® is ten years ahead of regulations. Why not anticipate these new rules with a building that generates its own renewable energy?
-65%
the difference in energy consumption compared with a building built to TR 2005 standards (example of Green Office® Meudon)
- Implement efficient energy management systems (presence detectors for lighting,
heat recovery from air handling units, etc.)
- Supply a global energy balance, including the energy consumed in running
and using the building, for real results
- Calculate the consumption of a Green Office®, taking account of building
operation (heating, ventilation, lighting, etc.) as well as the occupations
of employees (office automation and IT consumption) to ensure a positive energy result.
Make sure that energy consumption remains consistently low
