L'Atelier-Garage receives the High Environmental Quality certification!

After several years of construction guided by a strong environmental approach, the T12 tram-train teams are pleased to announce that the Atelier-Garage has obtained HQE certification (NF HQE standard for tertiary buildings)!

High Environmental Quality aims to limit the environmental impact of a construction or real estate rehabilitation as much as possible. This is a voluntary approach on the part of the project owner, architects and construction companies.

From the beginning of the construction of the Workshop-Garage, the SNCF wanted to include the building in this HQE policy. To do this, the T12 tram-train teams called on environmental design offices as well as an HQE manager, who is responsible for the environmental performance of the project.

On this occasion, a number of themes were valued at a very effective level, such as:

• The green roof,
• The rainwater recovery system,
• The garage cladding made of naturally sustainable wood
• And finally, the preservation of protected plant species around the building.

In this period of ecological uncertainty and the climate crisis, it was necessary for the future T12 tram-train line to be part of a strong environmental policy. The site is designed from its very first steps to minimize its ecological footprint.
