1 GE Green Energi ApS Svendborgvej Ørbæk CVR-nr.: TLF: I - VINTER 2015 DET SKER KLIMASKÆRM TÆTHED 2020 KRAV OPFYLDT KUN 0,463 l/s/m2 Ejeren, tømmermester Kurt Christensen udtaler, at han er meget glad for resultatet og at det er opnået som følge af brug af et godt produkt kombineret med godt håndværk. Airflex er Kurts foretrukne produkt. Hans Dollerup der står bag firmaet TætHus, der udfører Be10-beregning, termografering, lufttæthedsmålinger med blowerdoor, rådgivning indenfor bæredygtigt byggeri har gennemført en test i bygningen til venstre der er isoleret med Airflex. Den certificerede test udviser, at kravet til år 2020 er opfyldt, idet resultatet viser 0,463 l/s/m2. Kravene til klimaskærmens tæthed i bygninger er beskrevet i Bygningsreglementet: Grundkravet er, jf. BR10 Kap stk. 4: 1,5 l. pr. sekund pr. m2 ved 50 pa Lavenergi 2015, jf. BR10 Kap , stk. 4: 1,0 l. pr. sekund pr. m2 ved 50 pa Lavenergi 2020, jf. BR10 Kap , stk 5: 0,5 l. pr. sekund pr. m2 ved 50 pa I denne test blev kravet til 2020 opfyldt, idet resultatet er: 0,463 l/s/m2 Firmaet Danpor A/S er en mindre dansk privat ejet virksomhed. Danpor A/S leverer primært EPS til det danske marked. Produkterne består af isoleringsmateriale til byggebranchen. En af firmaets haller er blevet isoleret med Duoreflex ca. 700m2, såvel i loft som vægge. Hans Pedersen, der selv er isolerings producent havde hørt om Duoreflex og da han stod og skulle isolere en af firmaets haller valgte han Duoreflex. Hans vil meget gerne anbefale andre at isolere deres hal med Duoreflex, og tømren der satte Duoreflex op var imponeret over hvor let det er at montere og at det ikke klør eller kradser. Udover isolerings effekten har firmaet opnået besparelser på el-regningen, idet Duoreflex afgiver så meget genskin at antalet af lyskilder har kunnet reduceres uden at gå på kompromis med kravet til at overholde lux i forhold til medarbejdernes arbejdskomfort. Hans Pedersen giver gerne et råd med på vejen til aktører der overvejer isolering af en hal. Østerbro tømmerhandel har isoleret en koldhal med Duoreflex og er daglig forhandler af GE GREENS PRODUKTER herunder den meget populære CE mærkede Airflex. Vores medlemskab i Vores team i GE GREEN ENERGI er parate til at drøfte dine behov og assistere med gode råd.

13 Refleksiv isolerings sag: Saint-Gobain Isover, CSTB og Filmm i konkurrencesag Ifølge et dokument fra DGCCRF (red: franske Generaldirektorat for konkurrence, forbrug og svig) har Saint- Gobain Isover, CSTB (red: franske teknologiske institut) og FILMM (red: Brancheorganisation for mineraluldsproducenter) udvekslet fortrolige og strategiske oplysninger mellem 2002 og 2007 på bekostning af Actis, en producent af refleksiv isolering. Konkurrenceforvridning, som sigter mod at bremse udviklingen af disse produkter, som er konkurrenter til mineraluldsisolering. Allerede i juli 2014 peger en rapport fra OPECST (red:, det parlamentariske Kontor for Vurdering af Videnskabelige og teknologiske valg) på CSTB s dubiøse rolle i denne sag. Men DGCCRF går endnu videre: I et dokument afsløret Torsdag den 4. september 2014 af det finansielle dagblad Les Echos, ser det ud til, at den offentlige institution CSTB ville udvekslede fortrolige oplysninger med mineraluldsfabrikanter, især Saint-Gobain Isover med henblik på at bremse en konkurrerende isoleringsløsning indtræden på markedet, nemlig refleksiv isolering. Fra marts 2002 og marts 2007 har de medskyldige således reduceret " den nødvendige sikkerhed for den frie konkurrence, uden at øge gennemsigtigheden i markedet, "bemærker Konkurrencestyrelsen og fortsætter " CSTB, FILMM og Saint-Gobain Isover udvekslede oplysninger med hinanden ", mens " CSTB samtidigt var hovedredaktør af CUAP (Common Understanding of Assessment Procedure) som udsteder ETA (European Technical Approvals) for produkter. Firmaet Actis, som havde indgivet en ansøgning om en ETA ville have været et offer for disse lækager. " I september 2006 understregede Saint-Gobain Isover, at der var behov for at iværksætte foranstaltninger til bekæmpelse af refleksive isoleringer og stoppe deres progression '"siger DGCCRF endvidere. I december 2007 og april 2010, fordømte SME (red: small and medium entreprises) disse manøvrer, der forvrider den frie konkurrence og derfor var i strid med artikel L Commercial Code og 101 i traktaten om Den Europæiske Unions funktionsmåde. En fejl som kan give store bøder og som også kan betyde en reorganisering af CSTB. Denne sidste foranstaltning blev anbefalet af medlemmer af OPECST, som vil separere de særskilte forskningsaktiviteter på den ene side og den tekniske vurdering og ekspertise og produktoplysninger til byggeriet på den anden. CSTB afviser at kommentere en verserende sag: Konkurrencestyrelsen vil træffe en beslutning i de kommende måneder. Hvad siger OPECST: I juli 2014 under præsentationen af en rapport, som er resultatet af et års arbejde på undersøgelse af barrierer for innovation inden for varmeregulering fremhævede d et Parlamentariske Kontor for Evalueringen CSTB s rolle i sagen, hvor ordføreren og vicepræ sidenten for OPECST sagde: " Det er kampen mellem den teoretiske beregning og måling in situ eller den franske kultur s favorisering af beregninger. ". Et medlem af Meurthe-et-Moselle departementet beklagede, at der ikke var opnået mægling i denne sag mellem Actis og CSTB, hvilket resulterer i gentagne forsøg over 10 år. OPECST viste sig særlig kritisk overfor CSTB s tekniske vurderinger af produkter (European Technical Assessment), som ikke er obligatoriske, men ikke desto mindre er nødvendige for at skaffe forsikring og finansiel støtte. I rapporten hed det, at godkendelsesprocedurerne var for dyre og for lange sagsbehandlingstider. Det vigtigste kritikpunkt er, at CSTB var både ordinerende læge og ud byder, to uforenelige roller. En situation som Yves Farge, tidligere formand for den videnskabelige komité, sammenfattede som følger: " CSTB er kernen af sagen med en vis skizofreni, da de hjælper med at udvikle standarder og samtidig lever af at verificere de selv samme standarder. " Actis reagerer: I en erklæring udsendt torsdag aften er de refleksive isolerings producenter glade for at meddelelsen af klagepunkter fra Konkurrencestyrelsen bekræfter mistanken om CSTB, Saint Gobain Isover og Filmm s konkurrencebegrænsende adfærd i sagen, som vejede i flere år på markedet. Actis mener at disse spillere har hæmmet standardiseringsorganisationernes procedurer for at finde en in situ testmetode på europæisk niveau, at gøre enhver indsats for at miskreditere og devaluere refleksive isoleringer, men også for at skjule det faktum, at de faktiske resultater af test af mineraluld er meget lavere end hævdet og fastholde disse til gavn for økonomisk støtte. Actis beklager også at CSTB ikke har haft en neutral og objektiv holdning overfor IMR (refleksive isolerings producenter) gennem mange år, hvilket har medført en uretfærdig og urimelig behandling. Selskabets administrerende direktør, Thierry Laurent konkluderede: Det er uheldigt at store franske virksomheder tager skridt til at dæmme op for innovative SMV er. Vi er lange fra den tyske model, hvor store grupper ledsager små virksomheder.

14 BETTER UNDERSTAND THE HEQ HIGH ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY PROCESS AIRFLEX ALUFLEX product Reflective Thermal Barriers The environmental declaration for the AIRFLEX and ALUFLEX products complies with standard NF - P (2004 version). It is not easy to understand all these notions that become essential from the moment a customer wishes to construct a building that is in harmony with the environment whilst optimizing the user s comfort and health. Now, the technical data concerning the AIRFLEX and ALUFLEX products must be backedup by powerful arguments. People also expect transparency concerning environmental and hygiene characteristics. That is why KdB isolation is naturally committed to such transparency in order to help you meet these new environmental requirements and better measure the contribution that AIRFLEX and ALUFLEX products are able to make to HEQ projects. The HEQ process is relatively complex and concerns, in particular, local authorities wishing to construct HEQ buildings (hospitals, schools, administrative buildings, factories, laboratories, military establishments etc.) KdB is providing information concerning this process. For what reason? 1) To promote the AIRFLEX product 2) To stand out from the competition 3) To highlight the AIRFLEX product s true value 4) To use our AIRFLEX product in HEQ constructions 5) To instil customer confidence 6) To give the certainty of having a quality product 7) To have a product with long-term durability 8) To have an economical, healthy product 9) To have a product that meets the environmental standard 10) AIRFLEX and ALUFLEX are the only two IMR products (thin reflective insulation) that have the environmental and health declaration 1

15 LCA LIFE CYCLE ANALYSIS Reflective Thermal Barriers AIRFLEX and ALUFLEX products have a life cycle. A product s life is divided into 5 successive phases from the acquisition of the raw materials to its final disposal or potential recycling. The life cycle approach makes it possible to assess a product s environmental quality through its entire life cycle. Phase 1: Raw materials The AIRFLEX and ALUFLEX products consist of bubble films and foams extruded from PE granules and pure aluminium Phase 2: Product manufacture The AIRFLEX and ALUFLEX are factory-made using a process that allows PE films, foam and aluminium to be assembled. Phase 3: Delivery and application This phase concerns the transportation of the products and their integration into the parent structure, the number and distribution of the manufacturing sites, storage, delivery and, thus, the management of the distances over which the products are transported. The product delivered to the site is a finished industrial product, ready for use and simple and quick to use. Phase 4: Service life The quality of the AIRFLEX and ALUFLEX products is beyond question and their resistance to deterioration means that they have a service life within the structure that we estimate to be at least 50 years under normal conditions of use. Phase 5: End of life This phase is generally linked to the demolition of the parent structure. 2

16 The AIRFLEX and ALUFLEX products form inert waste, i.e. they are not liable to create any water or ground pollution and can be fully recycled into raw materials for future products or put to some other use depending on the available procedures. The life cycle analysis (LCA) of a product consists of quantifying the levels of environmental impact generated during each phase and establishing an overall breakdown of the facts and figures. 3

17 TARGET PRIORITIZATION It would appear difficult to attempt to achieve all targets simultaneously and efficiently. It is therefore recommended that they be prioritized according to the field, the use, the structure and the customer s wishes. For example, according to the certification plan in the tertiary sector, a building must achieve one of the following levels: VERY HIGH PERFORMANCE for at least 3 targets HIGH PERFORMANCE for at least 4 targets BASIC PERFORMANCE for the remaining targets (7 or more) Very high Performance level High performance level Basic performance level 1 2 At least 3 targets At least 4 targets targets targets The very high performance level refers to the best performance levels achieved recently in HEQ operations. The High performance level corresponds to performance levels above those of current practices, called the basic level. 4

18 DESCRIPTION OF THE 14 TARGETS Eco-construction Eco-management Target 1 - Target 2 - Target 3 - Target 4 - Target 5 - Target 6 - Target 7 - Harmonious relation between buildings and their immediate environment Integrated choice of products, systems and construction processes Low-nuisance site Energy management Water management Management of waste caused by activities Management of servicing and maintenance Comfort Health Target 8 - Hygrothermic comfort Target 9 - Acoustic comfort Target 10 - Visual comfort Target 11 - Olfactory comfort Target 12 - Sanitary conditions of areas Target 13 - Sanitary indoor air quality Target 14 - Sanitary water quality Only targets 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10 and 14 apply to the AIRFLEX and ALUFLEX products. 5

19 TARGET 4: ENERGY MANAGEMENT Inside a building, the items that consume the most energy are heating, hot water production and air conditioning. There is no lack of technical and behavioural energy-saving levers. Even if the contribution made by AIRFLEX to thermal performance remains average, its ability to be combined with all other types of thermal insulation within the overall insulation enables particularly high performance insulation levels to be achieved and, therefore, major savings on heating bills. Moreover, in the summer, the combination of AIRFLEX and a conventional form of insulation makes it possible to reduce the internal temperature of roof spaces by 5 to 8 degrees on the hottest days. Currently, the solar factor of the Reflective Thermal Barrier plays a considerable part and it is therefore possible to count on a reduction in the requirement for air conditioning. 6

20 TARGET 7: SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE As far as through-life costs are concerned, durability means that the structure and its equipment are maintained in an operational condition. Under normal conditions of use, the AIRFLEX Reflective Thermal Barrier, when laid on rafters in a screening position under the roof in accordance with standard NF EN , requires no maintenance: chapter 4 of the technical specifications specification CSTB Throughout the life of the building, the quality and functions of the AIRFLEX Reflective Thermal Barrier remain unchanged. AIRFLEX therefore has a life cycle tha t does not include any maintenance or servicing stage. 7

21 TARGET 8: HYGROTHERMIC COMFORT The impression of comfort within a structure depends on several parameters, one of which is hygrothermics. The AIRFLEX Reflective Thermal Barrier contrib utes to hygrothermic comfort. In fact, providing hygrothermic comfort means, in particular, a constant temperature year-round. The optimum comfort conditions are an average temperature of 18 to 20 C, a relative humidity of 40 to 60% and a difference in temperature between the inside air and the walls of less than 3 C. Buildings with roofs and walls equipped with the AIRFLEX Reflective Thermal Barrier are airtight and minimize leakage due to the heat loss factor. The way that the AIRFLEX Reflectiv e Thermal Barrier works being based on reflection, there is no denying that the lower the surface conductivity the better the product. 8

22 TARGET 9: ACOUSTIC COMFORT Noise is felt by the population to be the prime nuisance. It is the most important factor when choosing a home. In addition to being an annoyance, it also has an adverse affect on our mental and physical health. Its intensity is measured in decibels. The risk threshold is considered to be reached at 85 db, the danger threshold at 95 db and the pain threshold at 120 db. Thanks to the mass formed by the overall insulation, the Reflective Thermal Barrier contributes to acoustic comfort and is the only one that complies with the standard under the conditions of tests conducted by the CSTB in accordance with report N AC of January 2000 concerning a roof and N AC03-006/1 dated April 2003 concerning rural masonry walls. 9

23 TARGET 11: OLFACTORY COMFORT In a home, the feeling of well-being is transmitted by all your senses. In the same way as sight and hearing, the sense of smell is called into play. The reduction of unpleasant smells by ventilation allowing them to be extracted provides olfactory comfort. The AIRFLEX Reflective Thermal Barrier has no eff ect on olfactory comfort as it consists essentially of components that do not encourage the development of micro-organisms that are often the cause of unpleasant smells. Internal ventilation systems such as Continuous/Intermittent Mechanical Ventilation or dual flow systems are very strongly recommended if not mandatory. 10

24 TARGET 12: SANITARY CONDITIONS OF AREAS The term sanitary conditions covers all the elements that enable a healthy environment to be created for the building s users. The AIRFLEX Reflective Thermal Barrier provides sanitary conditions of exceptional quality. The study conducted by the CSTB as part of the sanitary section shows that AIRFLEX does not give off any harmful particles, does not create any mould or fungi and is classified as inert. The components of AIRFLEX meet the requirements of safety directive N 91/155 EEC 11

25 TARGET 13: SANITARY INDOOR AIR QUALITY Air quality undoubtedly has a major influence on our health. In order to meet this target, it is necessary to control the sources of indoor air pollution and limit their effects on health. Every day we breathe in approximately 15 m 3 of air which, regrettably is ever more polluted. Our way of life is changing. We now spend almost 80 to 90 % of our time indoors in our homes, schools and offices. Contrary to what you may think, the air inside a building may be more polluted than that outside it. The Reflective Thermal Barrier allows you to prevent thermal bridges, the growth of mould and fungi and condensation. For your health and the long-term sustainability of your home, it is essential that current standards and regulations concerning internal ventilation are met. 12

31 MEASUREMENTS AND SERVICE LIFE Each of these indicators has a value expressed in (MEGA-JOULES) (KG) (LITRES) (CUBIC METRES) per functional unit (square metre) of wall or roof for an AIRFLEX and ALUFLEX product service life of 50 years. The 50-year service life does not mean that the products can no longer be used after 50 years or that they will no longer be efficient, it is simply a basis for calculations for the Life Cycle Analysis. HEQ is neither a standard, a label or a regulation. HEQ is the result of a study approved by an environmental declaration sheet. Even though objectives are set, there is no instrument for checking them. The CSTB (Building Scientific and Technology Centre) and AFNOR are currently conducting a certification project concerning the HEQ approach in the tertiary building sector. The HEQ approach 18

32 AIRFLEX Sanitary study Conducted by the C.S.T.B. CSTB test report N SB dated 22 March Behaviour of a Reflective Thermal Barrier (AIRFLEX ) in the presence of fungal contamination. This test was conducted in accordance with the following standards: NF EN ISO 846: Assessment of the action of micro-organisms (AFNOR, August 1997, classification index TSI 022) NF V : determination of the ergosterol content (AFNOR, August 1991) The fungal biomass (ergosterol) measurements made at the end of the test on the clean and fouled test pieces class the AIRFLEX product as INERT (F) with respect to fungal growth. (fungal growth: development of fungi and mould) 19

33 CSTB TEST REPORT N SB , DATED 12 APRIL Sanitary assessment of emissions of volatile compounds by an AIRFLEX Reflective Thermal Barrier. The aim of this test is to characterize the emissions of volatile compounds (VOCs and aldehydes) by an AIRFLEX Reflective Thermal Barrier and assess its impact on health, in accordance with a European protocol (ECA/IAQ 1997). Reference standards: PR EN PR EN NF ISO ISO/FDIS ECA/IAQ 1997 The results of the assessment of the Reflective Thermal Barrier (AIRFLEX ) are summarized in table 9 (page 9 of the report). The product tested (AIRFLEX ) obtained the classification C+ (very low chemical emissions). CONCLUSION The classification assigned to the AIRFLEX product on completion of the designated tests is sanitary quality (fungal + VOC contamination). NOTE: This test report certifies the characteristics of the object subjected to the tests but does not prejudge the characteristics of similar products. It does not therefore constitute certification within the meaning of Article L of the consumer code and of the law dated 3 June
