With 155 employees spread across three agencies, Terres de Loire Habitat plays a crucial role in the region’s housing landscape. One of the key hurdles TDLH encountered was optimizing their energy efficiency while managing the budget of large-scale projects with the respect of public procurement.

Challenge:

Prior to partnering with ACT, Terres de Loire Habitat faced significant challenges:

·       Managing extensive energy networks across a wide portfolio of properties

·       Navigating the public procurement code, which often complicated the documentation process for energy efficiency projects

·       Ensuring that energy-saving measures could be implemented with minimal financial burden

Solution:

In search of a solution, Terres de Loire Habitat selected ACT based on two primary criteria: strong relationship management and comprehensive support throughout the project lifecycle. ACT's proven expertise in handling CEE processes was also a key factor.

ACT worked closely with Terres de Loire Habitat to implement calorifugeage (insulation) of heating networks across a large portion of their property portfolio. This complex project required detailed identification of the properties and efficient coordination with the contractor executing the work.

Throughout the project, ACT’s team provided valuable support, ensuring a smooth process.

Thanks to ACT’s expertise, Terres de Loire Habitat was able to complete the insulation project at zero cost. The entire cost of the works was covered, allowing the organization to improve energy efficiency.
