Energy-efficient construction and renovation for more climate protection
The demands that the German Buildings Energy Act (GEG) places on residential companies in Germany are growing all the time, creating significant challenges for construction projects.
Achieving climate goals means taking action quickly. In order to meet minimum standards, which themselves are constantly increasing, the energy efficiency of products has to be one of the key factors considered in planning and decision-making processes in the housing sector. While it is important to acknowledge the pressure to renovate existing buildings using fast, eco-friendly methods, the challenge for the property sector lies in maintaining a sense of proportion and foresightedness when evaluating the right efficiency measures for the project in question. There is a balance to be struck between using methods that prioritise climate protection and creating affordable places to live.

The revolutionary worksurface, ECO by Cosentino is composed of 75% recycled raw materials, including salvaged mirrors, glass from windows and bottles as well as porcelain from china, tiles and sinks. Achieved through state-of-the-art technology, the worktops are extremely durable with a high stain, scratch and scorch resistance.

The recycled content is mixed with other materials including stone waste and is bonded together with a part eco-resin, which contains 22% corn oil. This pioneering resin is the result of a major research and development initiative, and is unmatched in the market today.
By reusing recycled materials, Cosentino is “upcycling” products that have reached the end of their lifecycle – meaning that they cannot be incorporated in to any other industrial product and would otherwise collect in landfill sites. Re-using this huge amount of material prevents it from building up at landfills year after year, and reduces the need to mine for new resources.

A second life for recycled PET bottles
The felt-like material of MUSE is made from 50% recycled PET. The material is precision formed and combines three key advantages: inherent stability, high acoustic effectiveness and a high surface quality that is pleasant to see and touch. As a result, MUSE both generates a beneficial level of well-being while combining a high degree of environmental responsibility. Discreet classic or modern look. Available with two neutral and two accent colours, MUSE can integrate into any office design concept.
