low-carbon construction - EcoCocon
"Biogenic materials can turn new buildings into CO2 storage, and can store the same amount of carbon each year as is currently emitted by the annual consumption of concrete."
EcoCocon manufactures a wall system with highly insulating panels made of 98% natural and renewable materials. 1 m2 of EcoCoon straw wall panel weighs only 55 kg and stores twice as much CO2. Although EcoCocon walls store a lot of carbon, we do not consider them carbon negative, but rather carbon neutral.
A building built according to the passive house standard emits only about 1 ton of CO2 per year due to heating and cooling (6 to 10 times less than a standard building). So it would take 65 years for an EcoCocon facility to emit the same amount of CO2 as a conventional building before it was even used.
In addition to storing a huge amount of CO2, the EcoCocon wall system has a very low carbon footprint of the production process. The environmental statement on the product shows that only 2.48 kg of CO2 is emitted when producing 1 m2 of EcoCocon panel. Compared to other common types of walls, the difference is striking. Calculations are made in the BauBook system, so the values are comparable. In addition to other advantages, EcoCocon panels do not contain VOCs - volatile organic compounds.
The design with natural materials offers a healthy environment for growth and living, provides excellent indoor air quality, and high acoustic comfort.
The EcoCocon construction system is an example of good, eco-friendly, green construction in the field of sustainable development, circular economy, low-carbon and clean energy.
Installation is easy: up to 6 floors in height with an average speed of 22 minutes/m2/person or 60m2/day with 3 installers. It is suitable for the construction of both private and public buildings.
The company EcoCocon has obtained many certificates, tests and awards:
- of the German Institute for Passive Construction,
- EPD (Environmental Product Declaration),
- NTA (National Technical Assessment),
- C2C of the Innovation Institute (imitates the regenerative cycle of nature, in which waste becomes a resource and is reused),
- Kiwa - Ministry of the Environment,
- FSC certificate for wood,
- Cradle to Cradle certificate - a globally recognized measure for safer and more sustainable products made for a circular economy,
- Eco Bau Swiss label,
- CE marks for wooden construction,
- Certificate of completed fire resistance tests,
- Certified Declaration of Properties,
- more can be seen from the attachments and also from their website www.ecococon.eu/si
It markets its products in 27 countries in the world with proven quality. They meet the highest quality requirements. They received the Innovation Award 2019 for "regionally accessible and renewable materials". He is a pioneer in building with biogenic materials.
The EcoCocon construction system saves carbon by:
97.60 kg of CO2 is captured in the panels per m2
in production, the energy used per m2 is only 2.48 kg of CO2
embodied energy in materials per m2 is only 6.40 kg CO2
so that the Balance is: - 88.7 kg CO2 per m2
This minus is very important, it is a big difference between existing materials such as plastic, iron, aluminum, concrete and some other materials, which are the biggest polluters of the environment and release tons of CO2 into the atmosphere, in addition to industry, traffic and other pollutants
