■ research and new equipment to reduce greenhouse gases;
■ all of the technologies used for carbon capture or long-term storage;
■ the full array of services (offsetting, quota management, CDM) aimed at reducing carbon emissions.

As it takes on board the objectives of sustainable development, the building sector is driving growth in the market for environmentally-efficient solutions in areas such as structures, insulation, carpentry, air treatment, etc.
We will shine a spotlight on the energy-efficient techniques, intelligent materials and industrial solutions being applied on a large scale.
In light of the success of the first sustainable construction forum in Lyon, this aspect will be expanded in order to ensure perfect synergy.
