Background<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\u00c9cole Polytechnique is committed to an ambitious carbon neutrality pathway. As part of this, it partnered with the project management consultant EMENDA and Accenta to reduce the CO\u2082 emissions of a residence on its Palaiseau campus (91), comprising 73 homes for married students and staff, spread across 4 buildings. The heating, originally gas-fired, no longer met the institution\u2019s sustainability objectives. \u00c9cole Polytechnique wanted a decarbonised, renewable heating solution<\/a> for these homes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
