When it comes to building materials that offer superior performance, durability, and environmental efficiency, LandVac’s Performance VIG Units stands out. Backed by extensive testing and an over 25-year lifespan with no drop in performance, LandVac VIG units not only promise long-term reliability but also demonstrate a strong commitment to environmental sustainability. Let’s dive into the details of what makes LandVac VIG an exceptional choice for modern buildings.
Innovative Design for Maximum Efficiency Performance VIG Units
LandVac VIG units consist of two pieces of flat tempered glass separated by micro support pillars, forming a vacuum chamber between them. This design is crucial for achieving outstanding thermal insulation. The absence of air or gas within the vacuum chamber virtually eliminates heat transfer through conduction and convection. This results in significantly better insulation compared to conventional double glazing. The use of tempered glass, which is stronger and more durable than annealed glass, further enhances the overall performance and safety of the units.
Comprehensive Environmental Product Declaration
LandVac’s commitment to environmental sustainability is evident from their Environmental Product Declaration (EPD). Based on ISO 14025:2010 and EN 15804+A2:2019 standards, the EPD provides a detailed analysis of the environmental impacts of LandVac high performance VIG units throughout its life cycle – from production to disposal.
Climate Change Impact
The EPD reveals the total climate change impact of LandVac VIG in terms of CO2 equivalents. Here’s a breakdown:
- Production Stage (A1-A3): 38.8 kg CO2 eq.
- Transport (A4): 6.36 kg CO2 eq.
- Installation (A5): 0.8 kg CO2 eq.
- Usage (B1-B7): 0.151 kg CO2 eq. Minimal impact, indicating high durability and low maintenance requirements.
- End of Life (C1-C4): 0.68 kg CO2 eq.
- Total Life Cycle (A1-C4): 46.4 kg CO2 eq.
- Benefits and loads beyond system boundaries (D): -11.37 kg CO2 eq.
The total life cycle impact, without considering benefits and loads beyond the system boundaries, is approximately 46.4 kg CO2 eq. However, when accounting for benefits such as energy savings, reduced operational emissions and benefits beyond system boundaries, the net impact significantly decreases.
Proven Long-Term Durability
LandVac high performance VIG Units have undergone rigorous testing to ensure they can withstand various environmental conditions over extended periods. Three key tests highlight the durability and reliability of these units:
- Monitoring Aging Test under Sunlight: Conducted over eight years, this test showed that the internal vacuum pressure remained steady, indicating long-term stability under natural sunlight exposure.
- Aging-Simulation Test under Xenon Lamp: This accelerated aging test simulated 25 years of exposure to sunlight. This demonstrates that the VIG units can maintain their performance over decades.
- Alternate Temperature Test: Subjected to over 10,000 cycles of temperature changes between 25°C and 75°C, the VIG units retained their thermal transmittance (U-value), proving their resilience to temperature fluctuations.
Energy Efficient Performance VIG Units and Cost Savings
The superior insulation properties of LandVac VIG units translate to significant energy savings. Buildings equipped with these units require less energy for heating and cooling, reducing operational costs and greenhouse gas emissions. This not only benefits the environment but also results in substantial cost savings for property owners over the lifespan of the building.
Conclusion
LandVac’s high performance VIG Units exemplify the perfect blend of advanced technology, environmental responsibility, and long-term reliability. The extensive testing and comprehensive Environmental Product Declaration provide a robust foundation for their 25-year minimum anticipated lifespan, ensuring that customers can trust in the enduring performance and sustainability of these high-quality building materials.
Whether you are an architect, builder, or homeowner, choosing LandVac VIG units means investing in a future of energy efficiency, environmental stewardship, and unparalleled durability.
