Context
The city of Saint-Quentin runs 163 buildings across 115 sites, close to 170,000 m² of built area, in uses, conditions and occupancy rates that vary widely: education and early years, culture, worship, sport, administration, community halls, staff housing. Between a tightening budget and strong regulatory duties — the French tertiary-sector energy decree first among them — the city wanted a forward-looking, multi-dimensional view of its investment needs.
Our solution
- 01 Collect and structure The available estate data collected and structured.
- 02 Digitalise and map The estate digitalised; dilapidation, energy performance and asset risk levels mapped.
- 03 Survey on site Field visits with the city's works officers to assess the assets.
- 04 Take the multi-dimensional view A review through interviews with the key people: regulatory compliance, accessibility, functional and occupancy dimensions.
- 05 Settle the future of each building For every building, a proposal: energy retrofit, full renovation, sale, or hold in condition.

Questions about this reference
What is a property and energy master plan?
The document that sets, for a building estate, the investment trajectory and the future of each building, under budget and regulatory constraint. In France it is known as a SDIE.
What estate does the city manage?
163 buildings across 115 sites, close to 170,000 m², covering seven families of use: education and early years, culture, worship, sport, administration and public services, community halls, and staff housing.
What does the tertiary-sector energy decree change?
It imposes a consumption-reduction trajectory on tertiary buildings. Energy performance stops being one objective among others and becomes a regulatory constraint inside the budget trade-off.
Why settle the future of each building?
Because holding everything in condition is not always the right call. Retrofit, renovate fully, sell, or hold: the master plan puts the question building by building rather than avoiding it.
