Innosuisse supports smartwindows
Innosuisse fördert den Fensterbauer smartwindows finanziell. Gewürdigt wird vor allem ein im vergangenen Jahr mit dem Zertifikat eco1 ausgezeichnetes Kunststofffenster des Unternehmens.
Innosuisse, the Swiss Agency for Innovation Promotion, is supporting smartwindows, a window construction company based in the St.GallenBodenseeArea. According to a press release, the development of the classico vinyl window, which was the first window in Switzerland to be awarded the eco1 certificate and was developed as part of an Innovation Booster, was recognised in particular.
smartwindows intends to use the new investment to implement its Window 4 Zero Emission programme. If the proportion of recycled window profiles can be increased to 80 percent, CO2 emissions from residential buildings can be reduced by 10,000 tonnes per year. 60,000 tonnes of so-called grey emissions will be prevented and the circular economy established in the Swiss window market, according to the company’s press release.
The advantages of the certified smartwindows-classico include its high proportion of 70 per cent recycled materials. Furthermore, the raw material is reused up to eight times. The window fulfils the high requirements of ecobau and Minergie-Eco and meets the first priority of ecoBKP and ecoDevis.
