Launch of the 6th edition of the Cube competition

Posted on December 7, 2021

For energy efficiency in buildings, call the pros!

Sobre Energie is an official partner of the CUBE competition.

This is the French championship for energy savings in buildings, organized by the IFPEB (French Institute for Building Performance).

A fun competition that encourages participants to change their uses and improve the management and operation of their sites.

For the 6th edition , we are supporting Poste Immo : 31 buildings, 12 months of competition, a record to beat compared to previous years -15% energy consumption!

The challenge, a good tool to motivate the occupants of a building to take action…

2 energy performance levers

In the Cube competition, our project managers responsible for monitoring activate two energy performance levers with the technical building inspectors to reduce the consumption of the sites involved:

  • technical actions: example adjustments to heating or air conditioning equipment, implementation of Technical Building Management (BMS)
  • behavioral actions: for example, correctly adjust the heating or air conditioning thermostat. 1°C less means -7% consumption on the bill

Then, these actions are monitored day after day on our digital platform to quickly measure their impact and readjust based on the results obtained.

Engage all building occupants

But succeeding in the Cube competition is not just about the technical community. To involve as many site occupants as possible in the adventure, our manager commitments create specific challenges depending on the seasons. Objective: pace the 12 months of competition and not let up on efforts.

So engaging all users of a building, technical advisors, occupants and managers alike, is the key to energy performance.

 

The results are there

  • Up to -25% on average on certain La Poste Group buildings supported by Sobre Energie during previous editions of the competition.
  • -19% reduction in consumption and 22% reduction in GHGs with the University of Bordeaux

Sustaining long-term sobriety

Above all, beyond the challenge, the important thing at the end of the 12 months of the CUBE competition is to sustain the performance actions. To manage to move towards energy sobriety.

And our solutions are here to help you:

  • eco-friendly campaigns by season to mobilize building occupants
  • training in the fundamentals of energy transition and the Tertiary Decree for managers and the technical community
  • audit/support for ISO 50 001 certification
