Decarbonizing the Construction Sector - Modular Construction by Cyme
The building sector is the second largest emitter of greenhouse gases in France. The emissions produced during construction and renovation alone add up to 30 million tons of CO2 each year, which represent 7% of national emissions.

Cyme minimizes its environmental impact during the construction process and throughout the lifetime of its products. The company supports the ecological transition of territories by building ever-evolving living spaces - housing, shops, shared spaces, micro-care centers or training places - from locally manufactured recyclable wood-frame modules. These modules do not require heavy foundations and thus preserve the soil on which they are placed. They are movable and can therefore have several uses. Thanks to the prefabrication and by being part of a reasoned craft, this construction method reduces transport and waste while improving energy performance.
