Executive summary

The collaboration initiated last January between Banque des Territoires (part of the Caisse des Dépôts et Consignations group), Polyconseil, and Hugging Face illustrates the possibility of merging the potential of generative AI with the pressing demands of data sovereignty.

As the project's first phase has just finished, the tool developed is ultimately intended to support the national strategy for schools' environmental renovation. Specifically, the solution aims to optimize the support framework of Banque des Territoires’ EduRénov program, which is dedicated to the ecological renovation of 10,000 public school facilities (nurseries, grade/middle/high schools, and universities).

This article shares some key insights from a successful co-development between:

• A data science team from Banque des Territoires’ Loan Department, along with EduRénov’ Director ;
• A multidisciplinary team from Polyconseil, including developers, DevOps, and Product Managers ;
• A Hugging Face expert in Machine Learning and AI solutions deployment.
