Sto thermal insulation solutions from the outside at the heart of the construction process

Faced with the emergency, France has decided to be the spearhead of the fight against global warming.
For this purpose, the government defends an ambitious climate policy with:

• An objective of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 55% by 2030 at European level
• A goal of carbon neutrality by 2050 enshrined in the 2019 energy-climate law

Sto, the leader in exterior thermal insulation, supports these goals and wants the building sector to play a key role in a national decarbonisation strategy.
It is important to remember that this represents 44% of energy consumption and 27% of greenhouse gas emissions at the national level.
In addition, in 2018, the sector's emissions exceeded the trajectory assigned by the National Low Carbon Strategy by more than 14%.
As such, the 2020 Environmental Regulation (RE2020) is the last opportunity for the construction sector to contribute to the 2030 and 2050 objectives.

Another observation: nearly 90% of the energy used comes from fossil fuels and 40% of this energy is used to heat buildings.
Energy is not unlimited and it is even less free! A realization that comes back every winter, when heating bills soar once again.

The occupants of passive or positive energy buildings no longer have this type of concern, this type of construction requires low heating consumption. Among the main reasons: a perfectly insulated outer envelope which plays a central role in achieving these ambitious thermal performances.

Julien Velar, ITE product manager: "Thanks to its know-how acquired over more than 50 years in thermal insulation systems from the outside and over ten years in the passive, Sto is able to make an important contribution in order to support the development of these constructive modes of the future. The best energy, both in economic and environmental terms, is the energy that we do not consume! ".
