Building energy efficiency has gained popularity all around the world as a means of conserving energy. The following are the four major components of a building's energy efficiency:
1. First and foremost, the design of a nearly zero-energy passive building prior to construction.
2. Second, during construction, usage of low-energy building materials.
3. Third, employing energy-efficient equipment for minimal running energy requirements.
4. Finally, the use of renewable energy technologies for a variety of applications.
The first section deals with the pre-construction design of a solar passive building technology, which has been widely embraced not only for passive heating and cooling but also for daylighting. The second phase is to design structures made of low-embodied energy materials. The third aspect is operational or functional energy conservation in the building, which is accomplished through the use of energy-efficient equipment. Finally, the building must include integrated renewable energy systems for hot water heating, solar photovoltaic electricity, and other uses.
Aludecor aluminium composite panels provide a variety of possibilities for developing passive solar protection systems, which is one of the most important aspects of today's sustainable architectural trends. When sunlight is appropriately regulated, energy is reflected and dispersed outside the living space, reducing energy use.
Excellent thermal and acoustic insulation, as well as suitable weather protection, are provided by the ventilated facade system. Energy savings are a significant advantage of vented facades, which are made possible by the chamber between the building's outside wall and the ACP sheets or composite panels, which minimises heat transmittance and saves energy.
Aludecor aluminium composite panels can be installed and separated by a layer of thermal insulation with the help of a supporting framework of the ventilated facade. The internal air warms up due to this separation distance and sunlight; a flow is created between the panel and the façade.
Slat System
Exterior slat systems, whether vertical or horizontal, are particularly effective as solar radiation barriers when correctly constructed and managed. These systems are most suited to orientations where solar radiation strikes at a lower angle, such as east and west, because they are often positioned vertically. Because the sun is low and hits the facade and windows, horizontal solar protection systems are useless. While they block direct solar radiation, they have the advantage of letting indirect sunlight to flow through, which allows for enough interior illumination.
The mechanical properties of Aludecor composite sheets make them an excellent choice for slat systems, allowing a wide selection of shades and textures to be coordinated with the rest of the building's exterior.
Cantilevers
Cantilevers are horizontal solar protection devices that cast shadows on a building's facade and openings in the summer while allowing solar radiation to pass through in the winter. Cantilevers typically extend one metre from the building's face; however, the size of the cantilever should be determined by the building's orientation. Because they limit the influence of solar radiation by up to 40%, they are a particularly effective technique to keep buildings from overheating in the summer. This method is ideal for single-family homes, where we have greater freedom in terms of outside renovations.
The use of Aludecor composite panels in these systems offers several benefits, including simplicity of installation, decreased substructure and material weight, and an exclusive collection of shades, textures, and more.

Lattices
Perforation offers a wide choice of beautiful alternatives for filtering sunlight on facades, among the numerous transformation possibilities, perforation allows for the use of a wide range of shapes and sizes, as well as regular and non-regular patterns, making it an excellent choice for modifying buildings while also significantly enhancing their energy efficiency.
Solar passive techniques are used in building design to reduce the strain on traditional systems such as heating, cooling, ventilation, and lighting. Passive techniques use natural energy sources and sinks to promote thermal and visual comfort. In a composite environment, for example, solar radiation, outdoor air, moist surfaces, vegetation, and so on, an architect's goal would be to design a building such that solar gains are maximised in the winter and reduced in the summer when the ventilation is maximised.
Aludecor ACP sheets or composite panels offer the perforation possibilities using CNC (Computer Numerical Control) technology.
