Chair of Sustainable Construction

The chair of Sustainable Construction gathers a group of scientists, engineers and architects who aim to ground sustainability in all disciplines involved in the built environment.
The objective is to identify the relevant parameters that influence the environmental impacts of buildings at international, national and regional levels in order to implement sustainable practices throughout the development of innovative strategies adapted to each stakeholder. This involves interdisciplinary works dealing among others with Life Cycle Assessment, urban metabolism and material science.

«Sustainability is a value word and like all value words – Freedom, fairness, beauty, justice it is subjective, nearly impossible to define, but possible to sense (or to sense its absence), and vitally important.»

Donella Meadows
