WE ARE YOUR PARTNER FOR GREEN BUILDINGS

Worldwide certification systems have been developed to facilitate the assessment and comparison of buildings’ sustainability and to promote climate-friendly construction.

The individual footprint of construction materials is an important factor in all of these systems. The Environmental Product Declarations (EPD) we provide for our basic glass types form the basis for how ecological sustainability is calculated.

Building certification systems From the Minergie standard in Switzerland and the German Sustainable Building Council’s quality seal (Gütesiegel der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Nachhaltiges Bauen) to the LEED standard in the USA and the UK’s BREEAM certificate (the oldest and most widely used certification), each system has its own set of criteria including environmental, economic and social considerations, which are weighted differently and based on national regulations. We support architects, planners and building owners in achieving the best possible result for their preferred certification system with our glass solutions.
