An eco-district is a district or a group of buildings whose design aims to be more sustainable than standard constructions. The objective is to combine control of the resources needed by the population and economic production activities with control of the waste they produce. An ecoquartier favors limited use of the car. Indeed, a dense network and the proximity of daily services favor travel on foot, by bike or by public transport. An ecoquartier also ensures urban biodiversity through the development of green and natural spaces.

Eco-districts offer their residents first-class comfort and quality of life, meeting the three pillars of sustainable development: economic activity, social equity and environmental preservation through to the implementation of rigorous standards. The construction of eco-districts makes it possible to reduce the energy consumption of buildings. An ecoquartier also ensures urban biodiversity through the development of green and natural spaces.

The Maritime Community of the Islands is piloting phase 1, during which the promoters will be asked to conceptualize the project as a whole and to measure the investment possibilities.

The UPP is a particular urban planning program. This translates to a way of designing a neighborhood that aligns with an ecological and social transition. The UPP proposes a regulatory framework for new constructions.

A scaled-down version of a classic power grid.

Main objectives:

• Reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
• Improving resilience and energy independence (including in the face of climatic hazards)

Three key elements:

• Local energy production
• Energy storage (electrochemical, thermal, etc.)
• Intelligent load management

• Intelligent load management (integrated in what is a microgrid)
• A concept that maximizes the resilience of the building in the event of a power grid failure
• An entity that provides services to the network
• This local integration approach is particularly suited to the context of Islands that experience significant weather events.
