Project, solution, service and innovation for Sibca

The building industry has a social and environmental responsibility to work together to build greener cities in the future.

It was with this in mind that the Association pour le Développement du Bâtiment Bas Carbone (BBCA) was born in 2015, bringing together the main players in the act of building, a hundred or so members, property developers, investors, local authorities, planners, renowned architects, design offices and builders.

The BBCA Association aims to :

Raise awareness of the urgent need to reduce the carbon footprint of buildings
Develop knowledge about low-carbon building
Promote best practices (BBCA label)
Encourage low-carbon construction
