Kaldewei sets the trend in Green Design
Ahlen, 2009. Kaldewei, Europe’s No. 1 for baths, is the first manufacturer of baths to be certified under the German Quality Seal for ‘Sustainable Building,’ a governmental certification. The new program is bringing about a change of paradigm in the German construction and property industry by looking at sustainability according to ecological, economic and socio-cultural aspects, for the whole construction and property industry as well as in the public consciousness. The new certificate opens up the possibility of the holistic balancing of construction projects from the sustainability point of view, in contrast to the previously rather vague labeling of buildings as "low energy house” or "CO2 neutral.” It reviews not only the energy consumption which stems from the use of the building, but also the consumption of resources and energy that go into the production of the building materials. Materials must be certified in accordance with the IBU (German Institute Construction and Environment IBU e.V.) ISO 14025 Environmental Declaration, which looks at their durability, environmental and pollution effects, maintenance requirements, ability to be deconstructed, and recycling processes. ...more
