Description
Schneider Electric’s renovated head office in Stezzano, Italy, marks a milestone in the company’s sustainable efforts. One of the highlights of this project is the use of ORAÉ® low-carbon glass, a world first. With an exceptionally low carbon footprint of 6.64 kg CO₂ eq./m² for 4 mm glass, achieved thanks to 64% of recycled content, ORAÉ® represents a significant leap in sustainable construction.
Paired with the COOL-LITE® SKN 176 coating, this solution combines excellent solar control and high light transmission, dramatically reducing both embodied and operational carbon, while supporting Schneider Electric’s sustainability goals.
Additional enhancements include Saint-Gobain’s webertherm plus ultra thermal insulation system, which uses phenolic resin panels for effective thermal protection in a compact format, and a lightweight roof insulation package featuring Isover PIR Black panels and Bituver Bitumastic mastic for superior weather resistance and energy efficiency.
This renovation not only reinforces Schneider Electric’s commitment to sustainability but also enhances employee comfort and well-being, setting a new standard for modern, more sustainable office spaces.
