Abstract: This article investigates the diffusion of the Hqe certification scheme among the large office spaces market. Since its launch in 2005, this voluntary sustainability credential has swiftly spread among the new and refurbished large office buildings in the Greater Paris Region. Using the literature on the diffusion of innovations and a unique transaction database, supply side factors (related to investors and developers) and occupiers side factors (related to companies occupying the premises) are successively examined to understand the underlying mechanisms explaining this swift market penetration. Then, spatial characteristics of this diffusion are investigated. Results suggest that a reorganization of market players on the supply explains the take-off of the certification in emerging business district. The systematization by large listed companies only played a later part in the diffusion among established business districts.
