Ruukki ventilated facades now have a Global Warming Potential (GWP) rating, allowing architects and customers to monitor the environmental performance of materials and improve the sustainability of construction projects, according to Rauta.
GWP, expressed in kilograms of CO₂ equivalent per square meter, makes it possible to compare the environmental performance of different building materials and assess their impact on climate change within the life cycle assessment of a building.
“The availability of GWP allows customers to make informed choices in favor of the most environmentally friendly materials and earn additional points in certification according to international environmental standards LEED and BREEAM,” said Rauta Director Andriy Ozeychuk.
GWP data is available on the pages of the corresponding Ruukki ventilated facade products.
