Interview with David Habrias in Le Figaro Magazine

The Kardham Group is involved in consulting, architecture and management of real estate projects. Aware of the challenges linked to sustainable development, this theme is an integral part of all its projects. Technological innovations in the building make it possible to create more efficient objects. Kardham works with its owner clients to reduce the impact in terms of energy consumption and carbon footprint.

“Our R&D is dedicated to understanding topics such as building more efficient and sustainable buildings. A doctoral student is finalizing a research project with the École des Ponts Paris Tech on new materials and construction processes to reduce their carbon footprint ", explains David Habrias, Managing Director in charge of architecture.
In addition, the majority of Kardham projects are labeled around the major Environmental Quality standards: HQE, BREEAM, LEED. Among other things, the Group delivered to Pibrac (31), one of the first positive energy high schools in France with extremely low operating costs. The circular economy, a subject of the future The future of construction lies in the ability to reuse materials using tools that provide the link between design, manufacture, and the traceability of materials and their uses.
For David Habrias, “by successfully implementing these methods, we will be able to give value to a building, even at the end of its life. During its deconstruction, a building must indeed be seen more as a source of materials. "

The Group relies on a BIM approach with the objective of improving the traceability of components throughout the building design and life cycle. Finally, Kardham, founding patron of the 1st Chair of Workplace Management created by ESSEC, also studies the environmental expectations of users.
