RE2020 and bio-based insulation: how to maximize carbon storage in your projects?
Since January 1, 2025, RE2020 thresholds have been tightened: the Ic construction indicator has been reduced from 640 to 530 kg CO₂/m² for single-family homes, a decrease of 17%1. Faced with these new constraints, bio-based insulation is emerging as a strategic lever for complying with carbon limits while ensuring thermal performance. Analysis […]
What is the link between CO2 and global warming?
We hear more and more about the need to reduce CO2 emissions. But what exactly is the impact of CO2 on climate change? Why is it necessary to reduce our carbon dioxide emissions? What is the link between global warming, the greenhouse effect, and CO2? The […]
How does RE2020 measure the environmental impact of new buildings?
The building sector is responsible for 25% of greenhouse gas emissions in France. In this context, RE2020 is strengthening its requirements around three major objectives: ensuring summer comfort, optimizing the energy performance of new buildings, and reducing their carbon impact throughout their lifetime (50 […]
Carbon storage & bio-based materials
The Low Carbon Prescribers HUB analyzes the bio-based materials sector from the perspective of carbon neutrality. Indeed, in order to achieve the RE2020 carbon storage targets, construction using bio-based materials is becoming inevitable. So, what are the benefits of bio-based materials in terms of carbon-free construction? Context […]
