ALEC de Paris Ouest La Défense

What ALEC de Paris Ouest La Défense does

ALEC de Paris Ouest La Défense (ALEC POLD) is a French non-profit association (loi 1901) operating since 2019 as the local energy and climate agency serving the Paris Ouest La Défense (POLD) territory. The organization acts as the designated local guichet (service point) of France Rénov', the national public home improvement service, providing free, neutral, and independent advisory services to three primary segments: citizens (homeowners, tenants, and coproperty residents), local authorities (the 11 communes of POLD including Courbevoie, Nanterre, Neuilly-sur-Seine, Puteaux, Rueil-Malmaison, Suresnes, and others), and professionals (social landlords, companies, and building-sector practitioners). Its territory covers 565,000 inhabitants and 73,000 businesses across the 11 communes.

ALEC POLD's offering combines a digital platform layer — CoachCopro (coproperty renovation), Pass'Réno Habitat (individual housing), and the Cadastre Solaire de Paris Ouest La Défense (rooftop solar simulation built with Archelios MAP) — with a physical animation layer including the Rénov' Expo mobile exhibition, the Fresque de la Rénovation card workshop, Balades Thermiques with infrared cameras, and the Maison Éco' Home escape game. It runs the annual Forum Habiter Durable (flagged 90 attendees in 2022, ~150 in 2024) and a recurring schedule of municipal presence, webinars, and school animations.

The organization has 11–12 employees based at its Suresnes headquarters and is funded by public partners including the Métropole du Grand Paris, Région Île-de-France, ADEME, Département des Hauts-de-Seine, the POLD territorial authority, and the 11 communes. No fees are charged to beneficiaries. Governance is exercised by a board including President Véronique Jacqueline (Mayor of Vaucresson and Vice-President of POLD) and Director Tony Ferreira, with leadership drawn from elected officials across the 11 communes. The entity generates no commercial revenue and operates purely as a publicly funded public-service mission.
