The need to contain the overall energy balance of a building construction together with an increasing awareness of people about environmental issues are very serious to us.
In fact the Solaio Compound® has the following charateristics:
• Because of its weight it can reduce the size of vertical structures (in comparison with traditional decks) allowing a less and better use of constructions materials and consequently less working hours.
• The volum for storage is reduce by about one-fifth the normal volume space with significant advantages in terms of logistics.
• Facilitates and speeds up the assembly as it is a prefinished product.
• Uses PEFC certified wood in order to promote the forests, as it is an environmental and social need. The mark PEFC also provides independent evidence of sustainable forest management.
• 1 mc of red srpuce wood, due to the process of photosynthesis, absorb approximately 255 kg. carbon corresponding to 0.93 Tonn of CO2 equivalent. This means that 1 sqm the Solaio Compound®, as it uses glulam beams, helps to absorb 3 Kg. carbon, so that the overall energy consumption of the final construction is reduced significantly through the use of this technology.
Considering that the national consumption pro capite of energy equals to 10 tonnes of CO2 (per year), we can say that it would be enough to replace (in designing and construction) 900 sqm of traditional concrete decks with the Solaio Compound® to save sensible portions of CO2 emissions.
In fact the consumption of energy due to the production of the elements of traditional concrete decks si about 90,000 Kcal per sqm, so reducing these factors helps the energy consumption reduction (the so called Emission Trading).
The Kyoto Protocol (1997) provides for the Joint Implementation that allows you to obtain emission credits through projects to reduce or absorb emissions of gases.
Italy belongs to the group of nations included in the Annex B with the goal of reducing greenhouse gas to the 8%. During June 1998 the European Community fixed the goals of each nation and Italy's goal was fixed at 6,5% of emission reduction.
Together with the will to renew the electricity network, sensible energy reductions are planned in industry, residential, commercial and transport sectors, and specific actions are programmed to achieve the emission of CO2 absorption with actual or new forests (see CIPE resolution No. 137/98 OJ No. 33, 10/02/99).
