Technically speaking, Arbor’s façade has been extremely successful and delivers exceptional performance.
When it comes to embodied carbon and a CO2-neutral building we have to ensure that all materials used in the project have the smallest possible carbon footprint. The Low-Carbon Glass resulting from recycling the old facade has a positive impact on ensuring the future building’s carbon neutrality.
At Cromwell we’re always looking to implement circular practices and reduce our carbon emissions. Materials such as concrete, steel and glass are the most carbon-intensive and also represent the biggest opportunity for reducing our carbon footprint. That’s what makes AGC Low-Carbon Glass a perfect fit for us and our strategy and that’s why we wanted it for Nervesa 21.
Increasingly stringent energy efficiency standards for buildings call for smart solutions that deliver innovation in terms of sustainability, technology and design.
Another important use of glass in the building was as decoration in the elevators, where we used three different colours of AGC Matelac. Matelac glass has a matt finish, but it's still glass in terms of maintenance, durability and appearance. It’s exactly what we were looking for.
