SOLUTIONS FOR SUSTAINABLE BUILDINGS - THE GUIDE TO BREEAM - 2

Reynaers develops innovative and sustainable aluminium solutions, for windows, doors, curtain walls and sun screening that increase the architectural value of buildings and enhance people’s living and working environment. By the integration of these solutions in buildings, Reynaers’ products can contribute to the overall sustainability level of the building, thus achieving credits for building certificates such as BREEAM. BREEAM (British Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method) is a certification system for comparing sustainable buildings that exceed national standards. As a...

REYNAERS SOLUTIONS Good access to daylight is one of the major benefits of completely glazed curtain walls or roofs (CW series) and sliding doors (CP series). This credit can therefore be readily achieved by integrating these solutions into the building. The correct integration of windows can also provide building users with uniform daylight illuminance exactly where needed. Selecting the correct glazing with high light transmittance or solar control will, in the light simulation study, prove that the required daylight factor can be achieved, resulting in the BREEAM credit for this issue....

REYNAERS SOLUTIONS Although almost everyone appreciates sunlight, it is important to control glare, for instance on computer screens. With our sun shading systems (BS 40 and BS 100), Reynaers offers excellent control of shading and glare. The ability to rotate BS 100 louvres allows the best balance between daylight, view outside and shading. By moving the BS 40 screens horizontally, glare can be controlled, either manually or by a motor. With the integration of these solutions one BREEAM credit can be obtained. REYNAERS SOLUTIONS The best way to get natural fresh air into a building is by...

REYNAERS SOLUTIONS A comfortable temperature will greatly improve people’s feelings of well-being and their productivity. Reynaers solutions, in combination with the suitable glazing, provide the required insulation to achieve the right level of thermal comfort. Reducing draughts and improving thermal comfort also depends on the correct installation of airtight elements. A high quality production system and the use of Reynaconnect will therefore guarantee air tightness of the total solution. Beside the thermal insulation aspect, an effective shading system will also greatly improve thermal...

Architect: Webb Gray Architects ENE1 – Energy Efficiency More than 40% of the energy used within the European Union goes towards heating, cooling, lighting and managing the buildings in which we live and work. This figure must be reduced by at least 60% before 2050 in order to meet current global climate change targets. Reynaers is uniquely positioned to help reducing the environmental impact of new and existing buildings. Our declared intent and philosophy is to continue innovating towards a greener planet and the objective of zero-energy building across Europe by 2020. ASSESSMENT CRITERIA...
