Going green and meeting regs
Approximately 40% of all energy consumption in OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development) countries is from buildings; however, huge improvements can be made to the energy efficiency of buildings by ensuring that the optimum level of insulation is installed. EcoTherm insulation products very often provide the best insulation performance achievable in many new build and retrofit building applications.
Energy efficiency is integral to reducing our CO2 emissions, which are widely accepted to be the main cause of climate change-the biggest environmental challenge facing mankind today.
A large part of the cut in carbon dioxide emissions can be delivered through improving the energy efficiency of buildings. PUR/PIR products play a crucial role as they offer excellent insulation performance.
1m3 of PIR saves 40kg3
of CO2; that’s 60kg of CO2
over 75yrs – 50% more than
traditional insulation.
As well as the environmental benefits of improving the energy efficiency of buildings, there are also significant financial benefits. For the domestic energy consumer, heating costs are dramatically reduced when the home is insulated using the best insulation products. And for the industrial user, better energy efficiency of buildings not only means lower energy bills but also reduces the impact of the Climate Change Levy.
