Sustainable real estate

Sustainable real estate, the imperative of a generation

The real estate industry constitutes over 15% of greenhouse gas emissions, 35% of global energy consumption and 5% of global water consumption. It is the responsibility of all actors (builders, investors and occupants) to take measures to preserve our planet.

For Jiwall, the bioclimatic approach is not an option but an imperative. From design to operation of buildings, our choices are guided by:

Why a bioclimatic approach?

On average, an urban executive spends 90% of his time inside a building. It is therefore important that this building is designed taking into account factors such as humidity, temperature, ventilation, etc. By integrating these elements, we save on operational costs and preserve the environment.

Un bâtiment durable est configuré pour être en symbiose avec son environnement et en ce sens, procurer un réel confort sur le plan thermique, acoustique, qualité de l’air et/ou éclairage. Minimiser l’empreinte carbone tout en augmentant la qualité de vie de son occupant, tel est l’un des paris majeurs d’un tel bâtiment.

The efficiency constraint of sustainable building requires strong energy and environmental performance. This translates into minimized energy consumption and naturally, lower electricity bills, among other savings.

The sustainable building is a construction in which each component is respectful of the environment and thus, controls its impact on it.

Frequently asked Questions.

A sustainable building is a building that respects the environment. It must be more energy efficient, consume less drinking water, discharge less water into the sewer and release less greenhouse gases.

A bioclimatic building is a building whose layout and design take into account the climate and the immediate environment, in order to reduce the energy requirements for heating, cooling and lighting.

Beyond allowing you to live in an eco-responsible way, a sustainable building has many economic advantages, in particular energy and water savings through the choice of suitable materials and the recycling of wastewater.

It is a common misconception that a green building is more expensive. On the contrary, more often than not, a sustainable construction will save you money.
