The Belgian sustainability tool is clear, broadly applicable and user-friendly to define and track sustainability ambitions. Ingenium helps you do just that.
The first joint version of GRO for Flanders, Wallonia and Brussels is online!
GRO is the Belgian sustainability tool for future-oriented buildings. This tool helps to integrate sustainability into building projects, from concept to realization. Ingenium can guide you through the entire GRO process.
GRO helps actors in the construction industry to integrate sustainability throughout the life cycle of buildings. Whether it is a school, apartment building, office or cultural institution, new construction or renovation - GRO is widely applicable and supports projects in all phases.
As a communication, monitoring and evaluation tool, GRO makes it possible to record and measure sustainability ambitions.
The construction sector is one of the most important economic sectors in Belgium. However, this sector accounts for 40% of energy consumption, is one of the largest producers of waste and one of the largest consumers of raw materials.
GRO puts sustainability at the center of any construction or renovation project. The tool is:
* clear: GRO offers a modular approach that integrates sustainability throughout the project life cycle, from concept to realization.
* broad applicability: GRO is a tool for all scales and functions, from large new construction projects to targeted renovations, and whether residential, commercial or public.
* user-friendly: GRO provides clear guidelines and spreadsheets that make it easy to define and track sustainability ambitions.
GRO supports architects, engineers, clients and policy makers with:
✅ clear and measurable sustainability criteria,
✅a flexible, project-specific approach,
✅ Usage guidelines in public procurement,
✅a handhold throughout the entire study and construction process,
✅handy tools to translate ambitions into concrete results.
This publication marks a milestone in the cooperation between the three regions. It accelerates the transition to a sustainable built environment that is resilient, circular and future-oriented.
This tool can be used by both clients and design teams during the various phases of a private and/or public project. GRO can be used for new construction and renovation projects as well as redevelopment projects of existing buildings.
Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
