Mines Paris (MINES)

Mines Paris, through its Center for Energy Efficiency of Systems (CES), has been conducting research on Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of buildings and districts since 1992, with notable contributions in recycling and circular economy modeling. CES has pioneered dynamic, prospective, and consequential LCA at the urban scale. It leads the Eco-design of Buildings and Infrastructure Chair, a partnership with three ParisTech graduate schools (MINES ParisTech, École des Ponts ParisTech, and AgroParisTech), focusing on reducing the environmental impact of buildings through eco-design tools. CES also represents France in the International Energy Agency’s EBC Annex 89 program, dedicated to evaluating environmental impacts of net-zero buildings.
