I have been invited to participate, on 2010 October 20 in Boston (Massachusetts), in the Workshop entitled « International Perspectives on the Role of Building Regulation in Responding to the Challenges of Climate Change », organized by the Inter-Jurisdictional Collaboration Committee (IRCC), an international organization dedicated to regulation. I made a presentation dealing with 2010 European Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) and its implementation in France;
France was late in implementating the previous 2002 European Directive. Thanks to the « Grenelle de l’Environnement » mobilization, France is now one of the most advanced countries in Europe on that topic.
