Territorial intelligence according to IRICE
It's the creation of a virtuous circle in which everyone involved benefits. For elected representatives and local authorities, it means designing truly ecological buildings, while preserving local heritage. For builders and operators, it means sustainable enhancement of their projects and real estate assets. And for users, it's a guarantee of immediate well-being, in an environment designed to harmonize nature and urban planning.
