BREEAM Standards
Subscription to the BREEAM Points System, as a framework for analysis and scoring, allows easy comparisons to be made between the relative merits of differing construction types as well as comparisons within construction product groups.
The system promotes the use of materials with a proven sustainable message and allows the designer to differentiate between those products with true ecological credentials and those not achieving the benchmark.
Indicative ratings for building materials given in the BRE Green Guide to Specification also allows designers to choose those products or construction methods that will be most beneficial in contributing to a high BREEAM points score.
Swisslab insulated render system is one of a range of high scoring Alumasc solutions. Promotion of these ‘A’ rated systems brings clarity to the specification process thus achieving the desired effect of minimising the environmental impact of the construction process.
Alumasc Facades external wall insulation systems utilise ‘A’ rated, Zero ODP (ozone depletion potential) insulations as standard. Not only do these systems minimise a building’s energy requirement, reducing its carbon footprint, their installation can help make efficient use of housing stock by extending the life of existing dwellings.
The BREEAM system also credits highly those products contributing to the wider sustainability of a project in areas such as energy conservation, water reuse and increased biodiversity.
