Today, as the climate crisis and rapidly increasing energy costs deeply transform the construction sector, building "nature-compatible buildings" is an environmental necessity, not a luxury. New generation architectural projects aim both to reduce the carbon footprint and to provide high energy savings to building residents. The eco-friendly construction brand of the Ertaş Group, Blok Bims, is the strongest supporter of sustainable architecture and low energy consumption (passive house) projects with its building elements produced from 100% natural volcanic pumice.
Maximum Thermal Insulation and Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) Advantage
A huge part of the energy a building consumes throughout its life cycle is spent on heating in winter and cooling (HVAC) systems in summer. Blok Bims has extraordinary thermal resistance (low thermal conductivity coefficient) thanks to the natural microscopic air voids within it. Using insulated pumice blocks on exterior and interior partition walls reduces the need for jacketing of buildings and prevents thermal bridges. This superior insulation capacity directly upgrades the "Energy Performance Certificate" (EPC) class of your buildings, increasing the value of your project and offering users massive energy savings that will last a lifetime.
Contribution to LEED and BREEAM Green Building Certification Processes
"Green Building" certificates such as LEED and BREEAM, which determine the prestige of projects in the international real estate market, strictly audit the ecological origin of the materials used in construction. Requiring no chemical baking or toxic gas emission during the production process, natural pumice stone is mechanically shaped just as it comes from nature. Thanks to its low carbon footprint, fully recyclable structure, and use of local resources (Ertaş Group reserves), Blok Bims earns you extra points in the process of your eco-friendly projects obtaining international green certificates.
Why Blok Bims in Eco-Friendly and Energy-Efficient Projects?
- Low Carbon Footprint: An ecological material that does not release harmful emissions into the atmosphere during the production phase thanks to its naturally occurring volcanic structure.
- Natural Climate Control Effect: A thermal barrier that keeps scorching heat outside in the summer and traps indoor heat in the winter, complying with "Passive House" standards.
- 100% Recyclability: A zero-waste philosophy that can be completely recycled without harming the soil or nature when the building completes its lifespan or undergoes urban renewal.
Raise your walls with Blok Bims to reduce carbon emissions, minimize energy bills, and design sustainable living spaces that breathe with nature. Build the future today with the assurance of the Ertaş Group.
