www.assohqe.orgLa dmarche de Haute Qualit Environne- mentale, initie au dbut des annes 90, sest dveloppe sous lgide du Plan

Construction Architecture (PCA) la faveur

des travaux de lATEQUE (Atelier dvaluation de la Qualit Environnementale) et dune douzaine de ralisations exprimentales dans le domaine de lhabitat social (REX HQE).

LAssociation HQE dont lADEME est

membre fondateur a ensuite capitalis ces expriences et mobilis progressivement lessen- tiel des acteurs du btiment en France. Cest cette entit, reprsentant la quasi-intgralit de ceux-ci,qui participe pour la France aux rendez- vous mondiaux des acteurs dune construction respectueuse de lenvironnement que sont les

SB & GBC (Sustainable Building & Green

Building Challenge voir page 18).Les rŽfŽrentiels,qui fondent la dmarche HQE dans le secteur du btiment, ont t labors dans le consensus par un groupe de travail de lAssociation HQE. Ils ont t rendus publics dans leur premire version en novembre 2001 au cours des Premires

Assises de la Dmarche HQE

La rencontre de lapproche urbaine et de

la dmarche HQE apparat comme une ncessit beaucoup d'acteurs. La cible n1 (cf. page 6) ne considre que partiel- lement les effets des choix d'implantation d'un btiment, en particulier les besoins fonciers lis aux voiries et rseaux divers ainsi quaux transports.A quoi sert en effet la performance nergtique d'un btimentds lors que ses utilisateurs doivent consommer beaucoup de carburant pour sy rendre ? La question de la maison indi- viduelle en secteur diffus en est une illus- tration.

Des expriences assez nombreuses, des

chelles diverses, ont dj t menes.

Leur gnralisation nest cependant pas

encore envisageable.

Une approche mthodologique et pratique

des lotissements a fait l'objet de dvelop- pements par le SNAL (Syndicat National des professionnels de lAmnagement et du Lotissement) avec le concours de lADEME et de la DGUHC (Direction

Gnrale de lUrbanisme, de lHabitat et

de la Construction au ministre en charge du logement). Elle doit maintenant tre teste pour en valider le bien-fond.

Par ailleurs,une rflexion de fond,avec tous

les acteurs intresss, est conduite par le groupe de travail "amnagement" de l'Association HQE.

La dimension urbaine

QuÕest-ce que

la HQE

Donner en quelques mots une dfinition de la

Haute Qualit Environnementale nest pas forc-

ment simple. Il ne sagit pas dune nouvelle norme, ni dun label supplmentaire. La HQE est dabord une dmarche,celle de management de projetvisant limiter les impacts dune opration de construction ou de rhabilitation sur lenvironnement tout en assurant lint- rieur du btiment des conditions de vie saines et confortables.Esthtique,confort,agrment de vie,cologie,durabilit:la Haute Qualit Environ- nementale prend en compte la globalit, joue le dveloppement durable et reprsente ainsi ltat le plus avanc de lart de construire.

Un btiment conu, ralis et gr selon une

dmarche de qualit environnementale possde donc toutes les qualits habituelles darchitec- ture, de fonctionnalit,dusage, de performance technique et autres que lon est en droit dattendre. Mais en plus, ses impacts sur lenvi- ronnement ont t durablement minimiss.

Cela, aussi bien par le choix des matriaux de

construction, que par la prise en compte de la maintenance du btiment,ventuellement mme de sa dconstruction et, surtout, par les conomies dnergie quil permet et qui limi- teront laccroissement de leffet de serre dont est menace la plante. 4

La dŽmarche HQE

La HQE

progresse aussi dans le priv, plus particulirement dans les tablissements de sant, les maisons de retraites, les grandes surfaces commerciales et les bureaux. Ces oprateurs privs y trouvent leur compte: en effet, si le surcot immdiat ne peut souvent tre nglig notamment du fait du temps supplmentaire ncessaire au management de projet, cet inconvnient peut tre quilibr par les conomies ralises et les cots vits. Cela quelquefois ds linvestissement, mais en gn- ral tout au long de la vie du btiment, les cots de fonctionnement tout comme ceux de main- tenance se trouvant minimiss. En terme de cot global, qui tient compte la fois du cot dinvestissement et du cot de fonctionnement lapproche HQE est donc avantageuse par rapport une approche ordinaire.
