Madrid, March 22

In the current context, where concerns about climate change and sustainability are at the center of attention, companies such as Diaterm – a family business distributing insulation and dry construction materials in Barcelona – stand out for their proactive approach towards energy savings. and reducing the environmental footprint.

The role of companies and their facilities in energy savings and environmental impact is fundamental in the fight against climate change and environmental degradation. According to data from the International Energy Agency (IEA), commercial and industrial buildings are responsible for approximately 40% of total energy consumption globally, and represent a similar proportion of greenhouse gas emissions. This figure highlights the critical importance of improving energy efficiency in business facilities to reduce their environmental footprint.

Energy saving is one of the most effective strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate climate change. Buildings are responsible for a large portion of the world’s energy consumption and carbon emissions, so improving their energy efficiency is essential to achieving a transition to a more sustainable future.

In addition to energy savings, it is important to address the broader problem of environmental pollution, which ranges from air and water pollution to the accumulation of plastic waste in the oceans. The construction industry has an important role to play in this regard, whether by practicing more sustainable processes during construction, focusing on water consumption, local materials, recycling on site and waste minimization or even taking advantage of the maximum energy and natural light.

Beyond its role as a supplier of specialist construction materials, Diaterm stands as an inspiring example of how companies can take an active role in the fight against climate change. Below are some of the actions they have carried out in recent months and the achievements they are achieving.

The installation of a large photovoltaic roof at Diaterm’s facilities is not only an economically smart business decision, but also a tangible demonstration of its commitment to renewable energy. With the rapid advancement of solar technology and the decreasing costs of solar panels, more and more businesses are turning to this clean, sustainable energy source to meet their energy needs.

Diaterm’s photovoltaic roof has been able to take advantage of all the square meters of an industrial warehouse with good solar conditions to obtain great energy performance. This energy allows them to supply their entire warehouse with energy, including the charging points for electric forklifts, all office buildings during their 11 hours of daily service, even three charging points for electric vehicles!

The adoption of drinking water fountains is also a significant step towards reducing plastic consumption, a major environmental problem affecting the planet. Plastic pollution is one of the major threats to the health of the oceans and marine life, and reducing the use of plastic bottles is an effective way to address this problem.

Diaterm has also installed two refrigerated drinking water fountains to supply both its staff and its clients. This measure has already allowed them to save an average of 270Kg of plastic in its first 10 months of operation!

By opting for sustainable building materials and efficient insulation solutions, you can not only reduce carbon emissions and energy consumption, but also improve people’s quality of life and protect the planet for future generations.

In line with its commitment to energy savings, Diaterm offers a wide range of products designed to improve the thermal efficiency of buildings and reduce their energy consumption. Some of the most notable product ranges are:

Passive House Materials: Designed to meet the most demanding energy efficiency standards, these materials help minimize heat losses and reduce the need for heating and cooling.

Materials for Ventilated Facades: Ideal for improving thermal comfort and reducing the energy demand of buildings, these materials allow adequate air circulation, avoiding overheating in summer and excessive cooling in winter.

SATE Exterior Insulation Materials: The SATE system is due to its excellent thermal insulation capacity. These materials are applied to the exterior of buildings to reduce heat losses and improve their energy efficiency.

High-Efficiency Roof Insulators: Designed to minimize heat loss through the roof, these insulators help maintain a comfortable interior temperature year-round, thereby reducing the need for heating and cooling.

Inflated Insulators: Ideal for improving the energy efficiency of existing buildings, these insulators are installed by blowing into cavities and gaps, providing an effective barrier against heat transfer.

Passive Fire Protection Solutions: Essential to ensure safety in the event of fire, these solutions include materials and systems that slow the spread of fire and protect the building structure.

Highly Insulated Sandwich Panels: With their innovative design, these panels offer excellent thermal and acoustic performance as well as a very quick and simple installation that results in very fast assembly times, helping to reduce energy consumption and improve comfort inside.

These types of actions to improve the efficiency of companies demonstrate every day that it is possible to combine business success with environmental responsibility. By taking concrete steps to reduce their energy consumption, minimize their environmental impact and promote sustainable practices throughout their supply chain, they are laying the foundation for a more sustainable and prosperous future for all. The materials used in buildings and homes also play a great role in minimizing the energy impact of buildings, which is why it is important to be aware of the great energy demand that a poorly insulated building requires and always opt for efficient buildings and constructions.
