THERMAL INSULATION
AND SUSTAINABILITY
Thermal insulation plays a crucial role in sustainability, addressing environmental, economic and social factors. Environmentally, it reduces energy consumption; economically, it lowers operating costs; and socially, it improves comfort and the overall healthiness of indoor spaces.
To implement policies that improve the environmental sustainability of buildings, it is essential to assess the contribution of thermal insulation, both during the construction and operational phases. The operational phase, in particular, has a significant impact on a building’s environmental footprint. Sustainable design must, therefore, focus on the careful selection of high-quality materials that can effectively reduce energy consumption during a building’s use.
NEW ISOTEC PACKAGING, 100% RECYCLABLE
As part of its commitment to continuous innovation aimed at improving performance and reducing environmental impact, Brianza Plastica has revolutionised the traditional packaging system for Isotec panels. At its main production site in Carate Brianza, the company has begun replacing heat-shrinkable film with a new, lighter and100% recyclable stretch film. This choice has led to a reduction in energy consumption from non-renewable sources, equivalent to 21 toe/year.
Most importantly, it has also led to a 25% reduction in the amount of plastic used per packaging unit (pack). The new packaging is also much simpler and easier to dispose of on-site.
CONFORMITÀ AI CRITERI AMBIENTALI MINIMI (C.A.M.)
Il decreto sui Criteri Ambientali Minimi (C.A.M. Edilizia), con le sue successive modifiche ed integrazioni, riporta le regole da seguire in tema di sostenibilità ambientale per l’affidamento del servizio di progettazione ed esecuzione di interventi edilizi in ambito pubblico.
I prodotti della gamma Isotec sono conformi ai C.A.M.; nello specifico rispondono a tutti i criteri presenti nel capitolo sugli isolanti termici e acustici, sono disassemblabili e concorrono al raggiungimento dell’obiettivo primario di efficienza energetica dell’edificio.
