HQE Building in Renovation

the best guarantee that your renovated building is efficient and sustainable
HQE Batiment en Renovation - CERTIVEA

HQE Building in Renovation (HQE-B Renovation) is designed for public and private, non-residential real estate stakeholders of any size, with or without an HQE track record, who are seeking recognition and endorsement of the environmental, societal and economic performance of their renovated building.

HQE Building in Renovation forms part of the new family of HQE Building certifications launched by Certivea in June 2022.

Its scheme was developed with Alliance HQE-GBC and numerous stakeholders.

Its modular scheme can be adapted to the type of building to be certified: offices, retail outlet, warehouse, hotel, childcare centre, school, campus, museum or library, etc.

The scheme for health establishments will be finalised and launched by end-2022.

A comprehensive approach based on 15 complementary themes
