Energy efficiency
Optimised thermal insulation with Styrodur® makes an important contribution to reducing carbon dioxide emissions (CO2), which are considered the main cause of the greenhouse effect. There is also the positive effect that investments in comprehensive thermal insulation measures pay off for the building owner in the short term thanks to significantly lower energy consumption. Styrodur® therefore makes a decisive contribution to the eco-efficiency of your building project. In addition, thermal insulation with Styrodur® stands for thermal comfort, which contributes significantly to a healthy living environment.
Air as cell gas – a concrete contribution to environmental protection
For this, Styrodur® was honoured with the Environmental Award of the Federation of German Industries (BDI) in 2000.
The CO2 balance of Styrodur®
The production of one square metre of Styrodur® emits 1 to 15 kg of CO2, depending on the board thickness and bulk density. In various applications, Styrodur® prevents CO2 emissions of 6 to 7 tonnes per square metre of insulated surface over the course of 50 years. Conclusion: a positive ecological balance.
