Sustainable Development

The Sustainable Development Goals, when applied to architecture and construction, promote the responsible use of essential resources.

Environmental Advantages of Ventilated Wooden Cladding Facades: Energy Efficiency and Thermal Comfort

Ventilated facades with natural wood cladding represent an architectural solution that simultaneously optimizes a building’s energy efficiency and the environmental performance of the material. This construction configuration leverages the inherent thermal properties of wood while enhancing the benefits of natural ventilation, creating high-performance energy systems with reduced environmental impact.

FSC and PEFC Certifications in Wood Cladding: A Guide for Specifiers

FSC and PEFC certifications are the most widely recognized international standards for ensuring the sustainable origin of wood used in architectural cladding. For architects and specifiers, these certifications not only reflect an environmental commitment but also serve as a critical technical tool to meet the regulatory and sustainability requirements of contemporary projects.

Environmental Impact of Natural Wood Planks Compared to Other Materials

The environmental impact of natural wood planks has become a decisive factor in architectural specifications amid growing ecological awareness. A comparative lifecycle assessment of these claddings against alternatives such as ceramics, synthetic composites, or metals reveals significant advantages that go beyond mere perceptions of sustainability. Plank systems like NATURSIDING-W represent a technical evolution that maximizes these environmental benefits without compromising structural performance.

Ventilated Wooden Facade: Operation and Bioclimatic Advantages for Sustainable Architecture

The ventilated wooden facade is one of the most effective construction solutions for achieving energy-efficient and sustainable buildings. This system combines the natural properties of wood with the physical principles of natural ventilation, creating an optimized thermal envelope that meets both indoor comfort and energy efficiency criteria.
