Building a Healthy Environment

Life Cycle Analysis

"Integral chain management" means researching, drawing conclusions and taking measures to place as little pressure as possible on the environment during the entire life-cycle of a product. Not only is the product involved here, but also product-related matters such as maintenance, transport or demolition. 

Trespa was one of the first manufacturers of construction products to map for specific product types its products effects by means of a life-cycle analysis (LCA), right from the source of the raw materials to the end of the life-cycle.

Designing for the Future

• Optimum sizes of panel to reduce waste
• Sawing programes designed to reduce waste 
• Preferred panel thicknesses to reduce sub-frames
• Optimum cavity depth and insulation to reduce energy loss
• Methods to reduce cleaning and maintenance        

The important environmental characteristics of Trespa’s products are:

• Trespa’s facade system allows for expanded insulation and therefore lower energy costs.
• Meteon is durable and long lasting, allowing the need for fewer products over the life of the building.
• Meteon can be affixed on existing walls, allowing the builder the freedom to redesign the building without demolition.
• Waste of Trespa material can be removed easily: it can be recycled, thermally recycled in a common industrial incinerator. All in accordance with national or local disposal regulations.
• Meteon can contribute to US Green Building Council LEED^®  credits.
