A series of measures that reduce energy consumption while raising comfort — one of the most current topics in architecture and construction, both globally and locally.
Energy efficiency means a series of measures taken to reduce energy consumption that, in doing so, do not impair work or living conditions but instead raise comfort and ease.
It has lately been one of the most current topics in architecture and construction, both globally and at home. The focus is increasingly on new construction, but also on renovating existing buildings through facade insulation, the roof and — of course — joinery.
In an average building the window is responsible for 25–35% of heat loss, making it one of the most important elements of an energy retrofit. Replacing 25-year-old wooden or PVC joinery with modern systems can cut heating energy by 40% or more.
The VEKA Softline 82 and Schüco AWS systems we work with meet class A per DIN EN 12608 and carry CE certification — meaning measurable, documented performance. With appropriate triple glazing and RAL installation, hitting the passive-house or nZEB (near-zero energy) standard is a realistic goal.
