THE IMPACT OF TECHNAL WINDOWS

L’IMPACT DES FENÊTRES TECHNAL SUR UN IMMEUBLE DE LOGEMENTS

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN OUR WINDOWS MADE OF ALUMINUM Hydro CIRCAL 75R AND WINDOWS MADE OF TRADITIONAL PRIMARY ALUMINUM?

On average, the carbon footprint of aluminum consumed in Europe is 8.6 kg of CO2 per kg of aluminum. With Hydro CIRCAL 75R, the impact goes down to 2.33 kg of CO2 per kg of aluminum, which is 6.27 kg of CO2 less. A standard window weighs about 20 kg of aluminum, which generates an average of 125.4 kg less CO2 per window.

WINDOWS

ALUMINIUM

CARBON FOOTPRINT

1 accomodation = 5 windows
1 building = 50 accomodations
50 accomodations = 250 windows

1 window= 20 kg of aluminium
250 windows = 5.000 kg of aluminium

5.000 kg of primary aluminium x 8.6 Kg of CO₂= 43.000 Kg of CO₂

5.000 kg of Hydro CIRCAL aluminium x 2.33 Kg of CO₂= 11.650 Kg of CO₂

The installation of TECHNAL windows made with Hydro CIRCAL 75R in this building represents a reduction of 31,350 kg of CO2.
