Energy efficiency and construction...

The “ Eco-construction Méditerranée” section will showcase the technologies, innovations and applications in the field of construction.

Sustainable construction and improved energy efficiency – renewable energies are an integral consideration of modern construction techniques, bringing new solutions to energy issues. The “Energy efficiency and construction” section will showcase the technologies, innovations and applications in the field of construction.

The Languedoc-Roussillon is a pioneer region in this sector activity thanks to a well established and strong industrial activity and the DERBI (Development of Renewable Energy in Business and Industry) business cluster which is recognized and approved by public bodies and groups together companies, research bodies, local authorities and universities.

“The optimisation of energy use in buildings, be they new or old, inevitably calls for a combination of energy efficiency measures and the use of renewable sources of energy. Given the current overriding concerns about energy, it is obvious that La Fédération Française du Bâtiment (the French Construction Federation) was bound to take part in and lend its backing to an event such as ENERGAÏA.” More +

Chairman - Fédération Française du Bâtiment

“CAPEB’s involvement in this trade exhibition bears witness to the commitment of all the members of the building industry towards reaching sustainable development. The members of the building trades are proud to be contributing once again to the success of ENERGAÏA.” More +
Jean LARDIN,
Chairman - CAPEB

"Sincere congratulations to the organisers for this first ENERGAÏA event which was a resounding success. Building professionals from all over France were present..." More +

Green Buildings are an important part of the Languedoc-Roussillon regional construction development programme DERBI : mieux construire pour mieux consommer Le Pôle national de compétitivité DERBI « Energies Renouvelables Bâtiment/Industrie », basé à Perpignan (66), reconnu et labellisé par les pouvoirs publics, réunit entreprises, organismes de recherche, collectivités et universités. Le Pôle DERBI contribue au développement des énergies renouvelables appliquées au secteur du bâtiment et à la mise en place de technologies innovantes. « Ce Salon représente, pour notre pôle et nos membres, une opportunité majeure de présenter notre technologie et notre savoir-faire à un public national et international. » André Joffre – Président, Pôle de Compétitivité DERBI (Développement des Énergies Renouvelables dans le Bâtiment et l’Industrie) A Regional Resource Center dedicated to Green Buildings will open in the Languedoc-Roussillon Region and will be inaugurated during ENERGAÏA 2008 The Languedoc-Roussillon Region, with the support of ADEME and the European Union, has financed the creation of the Regional Resources Center for Environment Quality in Buildings, which will be inaugurated during ENERGAÏA 2008. This resources center, run by the FFB Languedoc-Roussillon (French Building Federation), the Regional Federation for Civil Engineering, the DERBI (French National Cluster for Renewable Energies and Buildings), the association EnviroBAT Méditerranée (Association for the promotion of the environmental quality in buildings on the mediterranean coast) and the Regional Chamber of Commerce and Industry will help the construction industry to adapt to new construction techniques. In the Languedoc-Roussillon Region, the houses of tomorrow are built today !

• “Training” section: providing training in the field of renewable energies

The Languedoc-Roussillon Regional Council, opening doors towards forward looking professions!

The Training Section established by the Languedoc Roussillon Regional Council represents over 30 training organisations, apprentice training bodies, vocational training schools and universities which together present the regional training programmes dedicated to the environment, sustainable development and renewable energies which are supported by the Languedoc Roussillon Regional Council. All levels of training (from secondary level vocational diplomas to engineer level degrees) will be represented.

The Training Section will also provide information to visitors on the policies and initiatives being deployed by the Regional Council towards a concerted professional development.
