Energy efficiency and environmentally friendly construction: EnEV 2009 and the options for energy efficient refurbishment of residential and non-residential buildings with ALUTHERM® sandwich profiles.

We know from experience that energy efficient refurbishment of non-residential buildings has been largely neglected compared with residential construction. Until now, one reason for this was the long payback times for some measures.

The rise in energy costs and the stricter requirements of EnEV (energy saving regulations) changed the basis for the decisions. Therefore, responsible and circumspect action is required.

In general, planners are responsible for compliance with EnEV. However, the legislation holds all persons responsible for their own work. For example, that means that façade installers must also comply with the requirements of EnEV! And that is not enough – As entrepreneurs, they must provide their clients with corresponding declarations. This certifies that the works performed meet the requirements of EnEV. ALUFORM is your competent partner for this. We are perfectly positioned to provide energy efficiency consulting services on the use of ALUFORM products.

Energy prices are rising, legislation requires…
At first glance, this appears very unpleasant. However, we view this as a great opportunity for the construction industry. The investment required for energy efficiency refurbishment of industrial buildings is already very high, and will rise further. Our specialists are ideally equipped to inform you of the technical options for energy efficient refurbishment.

Why is compliance with EnEV 2009 so important?
EnEV requires that virtually everyone read up on it. That applies to all partners involved in the construction project. Failure to comply with EnEV can lead to serious consequences. Therefore, ALUFORM provides its customers with comprehensive consultancy on energy efficient refurbishment of residential and non-residential buildings.
