Bridging the gap between aesthetics and sustainability
A dilemma faced by architects is whether to sacrifice sustainability in favour of creating dynamic-looking, frame-structured buildings. Such structures invariably lack natural thermal mass, and this is usually overcome by installing heavy-duty air conditioning units and central heating systems to regulate the temperature. Thermal regulation on such a scale means high energy costs and a sizeable environmental footprint.
With DuPont™ Energain® architects can design the buildings they want and keep energy costs to a minimum, by reducing the need for air conditioning and heating systems. Sustainable architecture is now more possible than ever before with DuPont™ Energain®, providing architects with the means to design stunning-looking, responsible buildings that are energy-smart and cost-effective.
