Sustainable insulation
Sustainable insulation of buildings is a topical issue, partly due to the climate and energy crisis. At the same time, little attention is
being paid to insulating the climate systems in buildings. That’s a shame, because insulating HVAC pipes saves energy and reduces
CO2 emissions. But how do you choose and use the right insulation? This blog will help you choose and apply sustainable insulation.

Setting sustainability standards
Therma'ex provides transparency in all aspects of sustainability;
whether it concerns production, material choice or product
features. That is why we adopted EPD as an international
standard that independently veri?es and registers a transparent
and comparable life-cycle story about the environmental impact
of our components.
