An important factor in the design of new buildings is energy efficiency, which has become one of the most decisive aspects in the choice of the type of construction, materials and systems to be installed.
Energy efficiency connects the needs in the home or building, such as lighting, air conditioning or ventilation with energy consumption.
When it comes to ventilation and energy savings, seals play a key role.
Choosing a good ventilation system translates into better economic indicators, since a low investment can result in high energy savings. Including a good seal represents only 1 to 2.5% of the total cost of a system.
At thermal levels, the energy demand is determined by the energy required to air condition the indoor air and maintain it at the desired temperature and humidity conditions.
The energy is used to compensate for heat losses or gains through the building envelope, but also to acclimatize incoming outside air that is not in the right condition. A quality seal can achieve a 50% reduction in energy consumption in air conditioners.
