In accordance with the conclusions of the "Grenelle de l'environnement", agricultural sector is due to reduce environmental impact of farms. Direct energy consumption reduction is one answer to this objective. However, the concept of barn positive energy is a possible way to significantly improve the energy balance of the farms. Thus, the objective of this study was threefold: (i) to provide a common definition of a building positive energy for the three main sectors of farming, (ii) to provide the technical elements for the construction of this type of buildings, (iii) to evaluate the economic interest of this concept. After defining the concept of the BEBC, three technical guides were published (one for each sector). They presented, in the form of sheets all technologies and breeding practices, to reduce energy consumption. In addition, these guides provided a description of the production of renewable energy solutions. Finally, each sector produced an economic synthesis on a virtual building positive energy to assess the economic impact of this concept.
