Lumon's green alternative: sustainable facades

Lumon's green alternative: sustainable facades

In a context where the concern for environmental impact is continuously growing, with the aim of reducing the carbon footprint and preserving the environment, Lumon introduces sustainable facades.

Lumon balcony glazing systems have proven to be effective in reducing carbon emissions and obtaining LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certifications, an internationally recognized standard.

Environmental benefits of Lumon systems

Studies have revealed that the carbon footprint of Lumon glazing systems ranges from 170 to 260 kg of CO2, depending on the level of recycling achieved. In addition, the emissions generated during the product's life cycle can be offset within 1 to 2 years, thanks to the energy savings offered by these systems.

Glazed terraces contribute significantly to improving the energy efficiency of buildings, allowing savings in air conditioning throughout the year. These advantages have been recognized in projects with LEED certifications, standing out for:

Protect terrace structures from climatic factors such as wind, rain and snow, reducing future maintenance costs.

·       Reduce air conditioning costs, with estimated energy savings of between 3.4% and 12%.

·       Increase the number of days of effective use of the terraces.

·       Improve acoustic insulation by up to 27 dB, reducing noise by 50%.

·       Facilitate the passive use of solar energy to optimize air conditioning.

·       Be fully recyclable at the end of their useful life and manufactured with recycled materials.

·       Improve air quality inside the terraces.

·       Minimize waste generated thanks to factory coating of products under strict management standards.

·       Manually adjustable, allowing adequate ventilation according to needs.

·       Integrate without significantly altering the original design of the building, thanks to the use of transparent glazing.

·       Lumon glazing systems have environmental certifications such as ISO 14001 and the CE mark, in addition to other international approvals.
