NEST is an innovative solution for project owners working on new construction projects.
Based on NOBATEK/INEF4’s expertise, NEST is a breakthrough web-based tool allowing the environmental impact assessment of urban project.
Neighborhood Evaluation for Sustainable Territories (NEST): Assess the sustainability of urban planning projects
Based on Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) methodology, NEST provides an holistic assessment of your projects taking into account the peculiarities of each operation, based on Energy and greenhouse gases emissions.
Designed to compare simultaneously several urban planning scenario , NEST offers an intuitive and informative interface which eases the interpretation of the quantitative results.
With NEST and NOBATEK/INEF4, you will no longer be alone to face the challenges of energy and environmental efficiency at urban project level.
NEST is a web-based application implemented in the EEGLE platform which can be used from any browser. It allows the calculation of 2 indicators over the entire life cycle of a planning operation :
- Total primary energy consumption (in MJ or kWh/user/yr)
- Climate change (in kgCO2eq/user /yr)
