Through its participation in DGNB projects, aluplast plans to develop new products, adapting them to sustainable building standards. The company aims to advance green technologies for an environmentally conscious construction industry.
DGNB (German Sustainable Building Council) provides a system for assessing the environmental and energy sustainability of buildings. The main criteria include:
- Environmental impact: lifecycle, local environmental impact, sustainable resource use, drinking water consumption, and wastewater volume.
- Economic aspects: operating costs, investment attractiveness.
- Functionality and comfort: thermal and acoustic comfort, microclimate.
- Technical criteria: ease of sorting and recycling building materials.
- Process management: design, construction, operation, and decommissioning.
- Site and location evaluation.
The rating system consists of four levels: certified, silver, gold, and platinum.
In Ukraine, work is underway to implement the standard of the environmental certification system for public buildings. The provisions of the standard also take into account the international standards of green and sustainable construction DGNB, BREEAM, LEED, Nordic Swan and the principles of the New European Bauhaus.
