Implementation of Sustainable Practices Among Construction Professionals

The Ekopolis association aims to accelerate the adoption of sustainable practices among professionals in the construction and urban planning sectors in the Île-de-France region.

Our four main missions:

 FACILITATE
Foster dialogue among professionals by organizing conferences, workshops, and exhibitions that highlight exemplary projects and inspiring innovations. Ekopolis is thus recognized as the only professional association in the Île-de-France region that serves both contractors and project owners.

 INFORM:
Produce or curate informational resources to provide the industry with up-to-date, high-quality information.

We encourage best practices by offering written or video case studies, site visits, conferences, and webinars, enabling stakeholders to discover and understand innovative implementations.

  TRAINING As a Qualiopi-certified training organization,
Ekopolis offers thematic or customized training programs, both for inter-company and in-house training. The topics covered are varied, ranging from the fundamentals of sustainable building to bio-based materials, the circular economy, ventilation, and stormwater management. 

SUPPORT
Ekopolis supports project owners and project management teams seeking to build, renovate, or develop sustainably, within the framework of the “Sustainable Neighborhoods and Buildings in the Île-de-France Region” (QDF/BDF), which the association has been promoting since 2017. In addition, the ECRAINS® initiative on indoor air quality has been in place since late 2023.
