Context

To support the Belgian construction sector in objectifying and reducing the environmental impact of buildings, the three regions have developed TOTEM (Tool to Optimise the Total Environmental Impact of Materials). The partners in the project are OVAM, Bruxelles Environnement and the Service Public de Wallonie.

Purpose

TOTEM facilitates actors from the Belgian construction sector ( architects, engineering offices, contractors, developers, public authorities, etc. ) to identify and reduce the environmental impact of buildings from the beginning of the design phase.
