- A methodology for renovating building grounds,
- An urban biodiversity assessment,
- Operations demonstrating energy and environmentally friendly solutions.
The Group also uses the program to follow trends in the city of tomorrow by holding brainstorming sessions on the following topics:
- Are zero carbon buildings possible?
- What are some concrete solutions for the positive energy building?
- Knowledge of the expectations and behavior of the residents, taking the community into account…
Forecast of housing trends
In this context, a forecast of housing trends was done aimed at identifying the different possible trends in housing between now and 2025.The technologies and services that may be offered to the occupants of that housing of tomorrow are also investigated. This study, which is designed to provide food for thought to the different entities in the Group, shed light on six contrasting and plausible future scenarios related to the potential trends in the residential market between now
Among the forms of housing identified, several involve renovating existing housing, which will be a major challenge in the decades to come. Thanks to these housing forecasts, the different entities in the Group now have some information they can use to prepare, test and adapt the technical and energy services solutions to be offered to the urban dwellers and homeowners of tomorrow.
| Pneumatic household waste collection | |
| SUEZ Environnement has entered into a strategic partnership with Spanish company ROS ROCA, to develop the pneumatic collection of household waste in France and abroad. With this system, waste can be collected without sending trucks into the city and having equipment operating all year on a continuous basis. Pneumatic waste collection is especially suitable for the development of new urban areas and for renovations of historic city centers. It is radically different from traditional waste collection because it does away with leaving waste on the street and with truck traffic and all the annoyance associated with that activity. | |
