Designing sustainable buildings with HVAC insulation solutions

As the world’s population continues to grow and natural resources become scarce, climate change has become a daily reality and an unprecedented challenge. Buildings account for 33% of global energy consumption and 39% of greenhouse gas emissions. Hence the importance of energy efficiency and carbon neutrality for sustainable buildings today. What few of us have in mind is that HVAC can represent up to 80% of the total energy consumption of buildings.

It makes perfect sense that sustainable HVAC systems help minimise the environmental impact of buildings. Our insulation solutions help reduce energy consumption and energy-related emissions over the life of your building projects, while having minimal (ideally zero) environmental footprint during manufacturing and all their life cycle. People spend 90% of their time inside buildings. That’s why buildings, whether residential or commercial, are so important for our health and wellbeing: they must be as comfortable as possible and offer a safe indoor environment for their occupants. Focusing on thermal, acoustic or other aspects of comfort in building design means focusing on people, on their quality of life and their ability to work and learn. Our HVAC insulation solutions provide both thermal and acoustic comfort by helping maintain a comfortable temperature all around the building and by reducing noise from the system.
