The advantages of green building

Among the advantages of using the materials made by our company Calchèra San Giorgio is green building.
Green building or green architecture indicate the methods of designing, constructing and managing a building with the aim of being in line with the principles of environmental sustainability, thus reducing negative environmental impacts.

To implement this method of design and construction, some renewable energy sources are used, such as solar energy, photovoltaic… or sustainable materials are produced. They have generally been used since ancient times, like wood, straw…

The creation of a product compliant with green building

One of the materials produced within our laboratory is mortar. It is possible to obtain a result against humidity and CO2.
When we produce this material, we do so because our customers, in many cases, complain about high humidity inside the building.

It is a type of microporous mortar that is highly breathable and resistant to chemical aggression, suitable for dehumidification. As previously mentioned, using mortar another of the advantages is the reduction of CO2 in the environment, unlike the production of cement which releases an enormous quantity of carbon dioxide.

What are the purposes?

Using these complex substances there are several positive purposes. Green building, especially in this historical moment, has a significant importance for the environment.
More and more often in Italy, especially in the north, there are many substances produced by industries that have a highly negative impact on the environment. This type of restoration and construction, designed by our company, manages, unlike the largest percentage of industrial productions, to create products that are also useful for the environment.
All this derives from refined research within our laboratory, in which the materials are directly produced. For the restoration, colors and quantities of your choice can be requested based on your needs.
