The environmentally friendly construction method
Climate protection also applies to buildings. The "Green Building Labels" represent guidelines for environmentally-friendly construction. These certification systems offer worldwide benchmarks for the development and planning of ecologically efficient buildings. Labels such as LEED and DGNB not only offer tailor-made certificates for various project requirements and building uses but also record the minimum requirements for environmental compatibility of construction products in a checklist system. Coating systems from IGP Pulvertechnik AG make their contribution to this concept of sustainability at many different levelsà
- Exclusion of toxic or environmentally harmful substances
- Complete exclusion of solvent-based dispersing agents
- Coating systems with efficient curing properties
- Quality monitoring based on lifetimes of the buildings
- Preference of regional suppliers to reduce grey energy
- Exclusion as far as possible of scarce raw and basic materials
