Climate change is the most important global challenge of our times. Even now we can clearly see the consequences of global warming. Heat waves, droughts, hurricanes, tornados and floods are on the increase, causing huge amounts of damage and cost running into billions. Only if we continue to promote climate protection and the Kyoto Protocol can we keep climate change down to an acceptable level.
Building insulation saves money and reduces greenhouse gas emissions.
Turned into insulation, 1 kg EPS saves around 3.7 l heating oil, the user about € 185 (based on 1 €/l) over a period of 50 years and the environment approx. 582 kg CO2.
You need about 770 kg EPS for a 130 sq m single-family house (old building) to achieve a low energy house standard.
Heating oil savings/year: ~ € 2,850
Saving over 50 years = ~ € 142,500
2,850 l heating oil x 3.15 kg CO2 x 50 years =
450 tonnes CO2 saved
