Shops and logistics platforms can apply for the NF Tertiary buildings - HQE® approach certification
Over the last ten years, more than 35 million m² of surface area and 14 million m² of warehouses (larger than 5 000 m²) have been built to satisfy logistics real estate needs, making logistics one of the most dynamic activities in the tertiary sector, and new construction challenges are more in the news than ever before. CertiVéa and Afilog released the specific "NF Tertiary Buildings certification - HQE® approach –– Logistics Platforms" reference documentation in January 2009, to assist the building industry in its path towards sustainable development and in organising its methods. Thus, all buildings with the characteristics of a logistics platform can now apply for this certification to certify the environmental quality of their operations, and comply with the certified HQE® approach. The first six operations were certified on May 19 this year, and about thirty more are currently being certified.
Sustainable construction is a major challenge for players involved in commercial real estate. Their operations can now comply with the certified NF Tertiary Buildings HQE® approach, through the specific Trade reference document produced by CertiVéA in cooperation with the CNCC (Conseil National des Centres Commerciaux – National Council of Shopping Centres). The reference document is applicable to shopping centres and shopping areas, buildings in commercial activity zones and shops near the bottom of tall buildings (if the entire building is certified). Apart from the initial characteristics of the NF Tertiary Buildings certification associated with the HQE® and / or BBC-Effinergie approach, it has features specific to buildings in which commercial activities are carried out: immediate environment, energy, water, hygrothermal and visual comfort. The first three operations have already been certified, and about fifteen projects are now being examined.
