The
Sustainable Construction concept aims at the creation
and responsible management of a healthy environment based
on resource efficient and ecological principles. It takes
account of environmental and life quality issues, social
equity and cultural issues, and economic constraints.
Polyurethane Insulation helps the home or building owner,
architect or specifier construct more sustainable buildings
through:
- significantly reducing energy consumption
for heating or cooling, guaranteeing a high level of
well being and helping eradicate fuel poverty
- improving air tightness which helps
making the indoor environment healthier through greater
control of the interior ventilation
- using technologies such a sandwich
panels with inherent lightweight structural strength
contributing to an efficient use of natural
resources
- providing
efficient solutions with energy “pay back” times
of less than one heating period
The Polyurethane Industry also contributes
significantly to economic growth since it is a major employer
of people, the vast majority of whom work in SMEs (small
and medium size enterprises), and these create a significant
amount of value.
