Institut Carnot MECD - Innovation gas pedal for sustainable construction
The Institut Carnot MECD (Materials and Equipment for Sustainable Construction) brings together six leading construction partners: Cerib, CTICM, FCBA, CTMNC, LMDC and Institut Pascal. Together, they cover a broad spectrum of scientific and technical skills in materials (concrete, wood, metal, terracotta, natural stone, etc.), construction systems, durability and industrialization.
Institut Carnot MECD supports industry players (manufacturers, SMEs, start-ups) in their innovation projects in the fields of environmental performance, circular economy and low-carbon construction. It offers tailor-made solutions, from proof of concept to industrial development.
Areas of expertise :
Development of low-carbon building materials and systems
Circular economy: recycling, reuse, life-cycle analysis
Sustainability of structures and adaptation to climate change
Digital transformation (BIM, industrial processes, etc.)
Technology transfer and customized R&D support
Approved by the French Ministry of Research, the Institut Carnot MECD is a key player in the co-development of innovative solutions for a more sustainable and sober built environment.
Thanks to this synergy between academic research and industrial expertise, the Institut Carnot MECD is a key partner for companies wishing to innovate and meet the energy, environmental and societal challenges of sustainable construction.

Project, solution, service and innovation for Sibca
The Institut Carnot MECD brings together six major research players to support the transition to low-carbon, sustainable and resilient construction. Through innovative materials, optimized construction processes and a systemic approach to environmental impact, we support manufacturers in their innovation projects.
Here are two examples of current projects:
- The ISCORT project, which aims to improve summer comfort in renovated housing, by integrating low-carbon footprint materials such as hemp concrete, raw earth or wood wool.
- An off-site construction project combining wood and geo-sourced materials (terracotta, natural stone), conducted with FCBA, CTMNC and Institut Pascal, for low-carbon structural solutions suitable for buildings up to R+3.
Achievements
- Structural testing
Mechanical tests on mixed structure
