Isabelle Spiegel, Global Head of Environment at VINCI since August 2019, sets out the Group’s goals which include implementing a new environmental roadmap and creating an Environment Award. In January 2020, VINCI unveiled its environmental roadmap. Is this a continuation of efforts already under way or a marked acceleration in measures? Isabelle Spiegel. A commitment […]
A combination of PYROsmart® cameras (an intelligent infrared system) and automatic extinguishing monitors provides a highly efficient and effective fire safety system for Renewi, a waste treatment company. Waste of all types is carried on a conveyor belt to be mechanically sorted and sent to different storage areas according to category. In the warehouse, which […]
Business units are now called on to combine economic efficiency and environmental sustainability, strike a new balance and achieve a paradigm shift. As we are all aware, this will require a fundamental change in our approach. Agility to achieve sustainable efficiency is the guiding principle at the heart of the VINCI Energies business model.
How is data collected then converted into information that helps city councils make decisions? We look at its journey from the physical world (in the field) to the digital world (storage, AI, business applications, etc.). Data processing systems based on smart-type environments can appear truly baffling for the uninitiated. At the very start of the […]
The office building sector, a focus of certification auditors, is engaging in increasingly targeted labelling procedures to enhance building asset value, use value, and end user comfort. The building has meeting pods with lighting and Internet connections; a single mobile application to digitise all the various badges, activate lighting, blinds and climate control in offices, […]
Clean transport solutions combining electric buses and battery charging equipment have been validated by tests.
To meet the biggest technological and environmental challenges, VINCI Energies is emphasising research and bringing postgraduate students into its business units. We visit Actemium Paris Transport, where this collaboration has taken a particularly operational turn. For many years, VINCI Energies has maintained close links with academia and the world of research. This collaboration has gradually […]
What if AI could be a heavyweight supporter of the energy transition in buildings? If we can produce sufficiently potent, reliable and robust computing models, algorithms will have the power to transform building-sector engineering projects. This is what the Mines Paris – PSL businesses and researchers are working on in the VINCI environment research lab. […]
Climate change is radically transforming heating, ventilation and climate control (HVAC) needs in buildings. In the face of heatwaves, increased energy consumption and new environmental regulations, HVAC technologies must become more efficient, more resilient and more sustainable than ever. Climate change is upsetting the balances on which building design used to rely. In particular, HVAC […]
