R&D EXPERIENCE
Vision
“We urgently need to decarbonise buildings to reach carbon neutral by 2050!” There are two ways of doing this. Firstly, through energy efficiency, by improved insulation, and by using high-performance equipment. Secondly, by replacing fossil fuels with electricity (low in carbon), renewables, biomass or renewable heat and recovery.”
Didier Roustan, head of of the Sales, Services & Marketing Programme in EDF R&D

-
35%
of heating for the EDF Lab Paris Saclay comes from energy recovered from the data centre on the site.
-
half of all
Ile-de-France residents are exposed to air pollution that exceeds the regulatory limits (1.5 million people).
I understand the challenge of decarbonising housing and helping people to save energy
Every year in France, the residential sector accounts for 25% of energy consumption and 15% of greenhouse gas emissions. R&D researchers are working on technical solutions and regulatory tools to decarbonise this sector.
Low-carbon R&D solutions for housing
In the quest for carbon neutrality by 2050, the residential sector is a key lever. Every home has a role to play in this energy transition. Aware of this challenge, EDF is committed to helping its customers transform their homes by offering solutions that are both energy-efficient and affordable, while improving individual comfort.

R&D to support EDF's energy efficiency plan
EDF's objective is to help its customers achieve energy efficiency in the short term. Thanks to its in-depth expertise in residential electricity consumption, R&D is supporting the sales teams in this dual challenge: guiding our customers to reduce their consumption during energy peaks and assisting them in optimising their daily consumption.
