Constructing a Sustainable Future #4

26 27 THE EDGE IN AMSTERDAM (NETHERLANDS) _ Each façade plays a different role according to its orientation. The atrium in the north maximizes natural light while the solar panels to the south protect against overheating, and an aquifer system stores summer heat at a depth of 130 meters for release in winter. It achieved a record BREEAM score of 98.4%. ALBLASSERDAM ELEMENTARY SCHOOL (NETHERLANDS) _ The combination of Isover and Gyproc insulation panels and Ecophon suspended ceilings reduced noise by up to 45 dB and significantly improved speech clarity. Comfort: recipes for success THE AMARYLLIS PHASE 2 IN NEW DELHI (INDIA) _ In this residential complex, Cool-Lite SKN 176 glazing lets through 70% of the natural light while blocking 63% of the solar heat gain. This allows occupants of this LEED Gold-certified complex to bathe in natural light without the risk of excessive energy consumption. COLORADO CONVENTION CENTER IN DENVER (UNITED STATES) _ During its expansion in 2024, high-performance filtration was combined with an ionization system capable of neutralizing viruses and bacteria. Particular attention was paid to the selection of materials: paints, adhesives, sealants, floor coverings, and the composite timber were chosen exclusively for their low emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), a heterogeneous group of gaseous substances that can be carcinogenic or toxic to human reproduction and development. Around the world, iconic projects demonstrate how design and material choices shape occupant comfort while optimizing environmental performance. Through acoustics, natural light, air quality, and thermal management, these projects offer concrete, measurable, and reproducible solutions that make buildings healthier, more energy-efficient, and better suited to today’s uses.
