BLAXAND: the name was inspired by the use of black sand
from basaltic rock used in Mauritian construction to protect
the sea beds by avoiding the extraction of white sand.

Environment
Green Building
Objective: Optimise the ecological aspect of the building during and after the design... ...these efforts allow the reduction of the consumption of energy resources and operating costs and therefore decrease the structure's environmental impact.
Space optimisation allows the increase of
employee productivity and makes them sensitive
to environmental problems while favouring the
development of a sustainable community.
All buildings built by BLAXAND are LEED “By Design” and our teams are already working towards LEED certification.
LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) is a North American system of standardisation for high-quality environmental buildings, created by the US Green Building Council in 1998, similar to the HQE (Haute Qualité Environnementale) in France.

Technology
Smart Building
Amid Industr y 4.0, BLAXAND ensures that the IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things) is integrated into all its buildings from their conception and gives the possibility of a roadmap allowing evolution into smart buildings:
Phase 1 - Connected building: smart parkings, water
management, waste, electricity, thermal cameras, etc.;
all connected to one centralised platform accessible
to each occupant via an IT portal.
Phase 2 - Interactive building: occupants can
interact with the different interfaces of the
building and control the building remotely.
Phase 3 - Smart building: through data mining, the platform allows predictive analysis and offers real-time pro-active management.
