Benefits for the environment, the economy and the people
Good for our environment
Being responsible for 40% of total energy consumption and 36% of its CO2 emissions, Europe’s building stock offers a huge leverage to fight against the climate change.
Minimizing the energy demand of the building stock eases the shift to renewable sources. This saves renewable energy potential needed for other sectors to make the energy transition happen.
ETICS protect external walls from the elements, supporting the durability of the building structure. ETICS have proven in practice their durability and long-term performance.
The ETICS sector takes responsibility for the sustainability and the circularity of systems.
Good for our economies
Upgrading buildings’ envelopes with ETICS contributes to the recovery of national, regional and local economies. Projects are Trowel Ready. Small and mid-sized enterprises will benefit.
We will have a strong economy whilst tackling climate change. Energy efficiency renovation is an investment for our society, not a cost.
Energy-efficient buildings with ETICS create added value. Living space of the property is maintained. Rentability and property values are improved.
ETICS support the energy transition, making Europe’s economy less dependent on energy imports. This strengthens Europe’s competitiveness.
Good for the people
We spend over 90% of our lives inside buildings. Thermal comfort and indoor air quality have impact on our health. ETICS create a cosy indoor atmosphere in winter and cool temperatures in summer.
ETICS contribute to a people-centric, friendly living environment. Children learn much better in healthier schools.
Energy-efficient buildings help to fight energy poverty. Millions of European citizens cannot afford keeping their homes adequately warm. Thermal insulation relieves them from operating costs.
No disruption to occupants while ETICS are applied.
Good for the building design
Designing facades with ETICS upgrades the appearance of buildings and districts thanks to the huge variety of system configurations, colors, facing structures and detailing.
ETICS are applicable in new build and renovation.
ETICS-on-ETICS application is possible to upgrade previously insulated facades.
