Sustainable Building

BD2M: Introduction to the approach

On 23 October 2018, the Prince’s Government launched the Bâtiments Durables Méditerranéens de Monaco (Sustainable Mediterranean Buildings of Monaco, BD2M) initiative in partnership with EnvirobatBDM.

BD2M: How it works

The initiative is specifically aimed at public and private developers in the Principality of Monaco who would like to carry out a cost-efficient sustainable construction or renovation project.

BD2M: Guidelines and tools

The BD2M guidelines have been developed by stakeholders in the Monegasque construction industry.

BD2M: Trainings

Since the BD2M approach was launched at the end of 2018, a range of training courses and/or webinars (on average 4 per year) has been offered to those involved in the building industry.

BD2M: Project Sheets

Since 2019, a large number of public and private projects have integrated the BD2M approach. Find out more about them and their highlights in this section.

Building energy audit

The energy consumed by buildings produces a third of Monaco’s greenhouse gas emissions.

Building insulation

External thermal insulation allows for continuous, high-performance insulation and reduces thermal bridging without loss of living space.

The Solar resource map is an innovative tool designed to promote sustainable development in the Principality, specifically the development of solar energy.
