More than ever, the energy transition is at the heart of our concerns. We are stepping up our daily efforts to reduce energy consumption in the course of hosting events.
Over the last ten years or so, the professional events industry has been committed to energy efficiency through a number of key initiatives in the field of sustainable development.
At Bordeaux Events And More, we work every day to reduce our energy consumption. The heating, cooling and lighting of our event venues are our main energy-consuming activities.
We have identified actions and measures to be implemented at our sites to reduce our energy consumption :
ACTIONS RELATING TO HEATING AND AIR-CONDITIONING INSTALLATIONS
Temperature
- 19°C for heating in winter.
- 26°C for cooling in summer
Operating principles
- During periods of operation (when the building is open to the public): production of heating and air conditioning. Operating conditions apply depending on the location and opening times. Switch to reduced mode 1 hour before the event closes to the public for the period of inactivity (evening and night). Stopping of installations on the last day of the event 1 hour before closing to the public/departure of the organiser.
- During set-up and dismantling: no heating or air-conditioning is produced.
ACTIONS RELATING TO ELECTRICAL INSTALLATIONS
- Use of lighting in buildings in accordance with lighting requirements and/or regulations.
- Keep lighting to a minimum during set-up and dismantling.
- Lighting on 1 hour before the event opens to the public and off 1 hour after the event closes.
- Night rounds to identify and switch off unnecessary lighting.
- External lighting on the sites switched off at night (unless restricted).
We have been experimenting with this system since November 2022, before it comes into force on 1 January 2023.
We are making all our visitors, organisers and exhibitors alike, aware of these measures aimed at reducing our energy consumption.
