CETHIL has developed privileged partnerships for a number of years, particularly in the context of joint research programs:
- EDF-CETHIL Joint Laboratory "Buildings with high-efficiency energetics" (BHEE) , since 15 years
- LabCom (joint program between an academic laboratory and an SME): "Research and Innovation for Verneuil growth burners" (RAINBOV) with company LE RUBIS SA
- LabCom (joint program between an academic laboratory and a different structure) "Laboratoire Thermique et Energétique du Bâtiment" (TEBLab), with the CSTB (Scientific and Technical Centre for Building), since 2024
The laboratory is a pioneer in the development of research in partnership with the industry, and was in particular the support of a research chair with EDF on behalf of INSA on the theme of "Innovations in Housing and Energy" from 2010 to 2015.
