Whether you are a manufacturer, architect, builder, energy supplier or design office, the challenges you have to face involve:

• Compliance of products and materials with numerous regulatory requirements (CPR, RE2020, ERP, EUP, VOC, Energy Performance Directive, etc.),
• compliance with time-to-market deadlines,
• Control of costs and production processes.

You must also meet the challenges of ecological transition by ensuring that the carbon footprint of your products and buildings is reduced, by limiting the environmental impact by using reused materials for example.
