Helping to meet building regulation requirements and offering energy savings of up to 15%

The buildings sector accounts for an incredible 40% of the EU’s energy consumption.¹ It offers the largest single potential for energy efficiency. Driven by the Kyoto agreement and the need to secure energy supply the EU introduced the EPBD ² (2002/91/EC) to increase the energy efficiency of newly constructed homes by over 20% by 2010.

In response to this need for better, smarter building materials, DuPont has created DuPont™ Climate Systems: a unique energy saving solution for the whole building. This holistic solution with/composed of the metallised membranes Tyvek® Enercor® and DuPont™ AirGuard® enables architects, builders and roofers to take a giant leap towards meeting the demands for energy efficient construction - with a saving of up to 15%.
