Energy-efficient construction - fashion or necessity?



For several years in Poland, more and more attention has been devoted to the use of energy-saving solutions in construction projects. Buildings, constructed using environmentally friendly materials, mark a new, environment-friendly trend in modern construction. Low operating costs, noticeable reduction of environmental pollution and health values ​​are arguments that convince an increasing number of investors to innovative solutions and technologies. Arguments for whether the phenomenon of this phenomenon is just a temporary fashion, or perhaps the requirement of the times in which we live, is presented by Anna Deneka, an expert from Knauf Insulation.

More and more construction companies are trying to disseminate the idea that energy-saving construction solutions are a future investment, generating tangible benefits for the investor. One of the more active promoters of this view is undoubtedly Knauf Insulation, which based on over 30 years of experience in the insulation industry, created a natural new generation of mineral wool in ECOSE® Technology.

"It gradually departs from traditional building materials in favor of innovative solutions and technologies that make the use of ready objects is friendly, both for users and the environment. Innovation combined with pro-ecological attitude translates into very interesting and profitable for the investor proposals for construction projects. The future-oriented insulating solutions implemented by our company make dreams about harmonious coexistence between human and nature "- says Anna Deneka from Knauf Insulation.

"Raising the energy efficiency of buildings is the result of EU directives. These regulations include both the implementation of newly designed facilities and the improvement of energy efficiency of existing buildings. The priority here is to reduce energy consumption. Designed and patented by Knauf Insulation mineral wool in ECOSE® Technology makes insulation of the building significantly reduces heat loss through the basement, floors, walls and roof, thereby improving the comfort of living, felt every day by all household members. For several years we have been working on the preparation of a product made of naturally occurring or secondary raw materials. We have successfully used advanced fiber biotechnology based on natural components. This revolutionary scientific discovery eliminates formaldehyde and phenols contained in traditional binders currently used in various industrial processes. The use of such improved new mineral wool during the construction or renovation of a home brings many benefits. These include improvement of the indoor air quality and, due to the lower level of cumulated energy, a positive impact on the natural environment. Low emission of the production process and the fact that the environmental characteristics of the facilities in which the product was applied is also of great importance "- indicates the expert from the company Knauf Insulation.

The best way to introduce significant, positive changes in modern construction is to promote solutions among private investors that the global construction industry has been talking about for several years. "I believe that innovative materials, based on natural and renewable resources, favoring the environment are a solution that permanently fits into the idea of ​​energy-saving construction. This is certainly not a one-season trend, but a permanent change in existing standards. Investors around the world are already aware of the benefits that go with it today, "adds an expert from Knauf Insulation.

In Poland, interest in environmental construction is gradually increasing. Dissemination of its assumptions among private investors, architects and construction companies will enable responsible and consistent architecture of the 21st century architecture. The discussion about the phenomenon of energy-saving construction has therefore only one right thesis - it is not a short-lived fashion, but a requirement of the present and future.
