Our challenges ahead:

  • In the context of environmental management of buildings, not only the EU Green Deal targets for all environmental indicators - overall reduction of carbon emissions- must be met, but also the local environmental legislation (COBRACE & PLAGE for Brussels).
  • The preparation of a renovation cycle from 2028 onwards, which requires a global and coherent strategic reflection (legal, functional, energy, environmental, safety, accessibility and technical aspects), not only on the renovation work itself, but also on how to ensure the business continuity of the two Committees during this renovation cycle.
  • Digitalisation and smart building: building renovations must integrate modern systems for controlling technical installations, as well as service and information systems for users.
