During this Forum, Stanislas Pottier, president of BBCA, will participate on March 7th (from 10:30 am to 11:45 am) in the conference entitled “Transparency Framework for Building Standards and Certifications” (“Harmonizing Policies to Achieve Whole Life Carbon and Resilient Building Goal”), which aims to underline the importance of consistent measurement and labeling systems at the international level to send a signal to the market and thus promote private sector investment in low-carbon buildings, a necessary step in the short term to comply with the Paris Agreement.
LCBI responds to this urgency with public works and methodologies, the basis for an audit label by Bureau Veritas in eight European countries. Stanislas Pottier will speak alongside Cristina Gamboa, CEO of the World Green Building Council, Tina Paillet, President of RICS, and Lars Riemann, Executive Director of Buildings at Ramboll, as well as other stakeholders committed to transforming the real estate sector.

A pioneer in low-carbon real estate development since 2015, BBCA is the originator of the world’s first building carbon footprint calculation label, a reference for new construction and renovation. More than 4 million square meters of real estate projects throughout France have already received this BBCA label, including residential buildings built for the 2024 Olympic Games.
