Designing a simple shape for a building, minimising the use of ornaments and observing the principles of symmetry – these are just some of the features of minimalist architecture that is gaining popularity in the global construction market. However, minimalism is not only about simplifying the design of the building, but also about reducing its energy consumption. Both objectives can be met by using the right combination of solutions and materials.

The contemporary construction landscape, increasingly oriented towards energy efficiency and sustainability, demands innovative design solutions. These solutions must deliver not only superior technical and insulating properties but also the flexibility to shape structural models that fully meet the project’s needs and style. Aluminium windows and doors are among those special task solutions that cater to even the most demanding of projects.

Modern production technologies have enabled the use of aluminum and glass in sustainable ways. This means that their production and application in construction do not carry negative environmental consequences. Simultaneously, glass and aluminum facades, interior systems, and fire protection solutions offer significant benefits to investors and end-users by enhancing thermal and acoustic insulation while improving user safety. What should one know about their application in contemporary construction?

Modern architecture demonstrates that the beauty of a building can blend seamlessly with functionality. Moreover, such structures can also be remarkably eco-friendly. This is not solely due to energy-efficient technologies but increasingly because of the sustainable use and recycling of construction materials.

Sun protection in building design goes beyond ensuring comfort – it plays a vital role in energy efficiency. By incorporating innovative solutions, it's possible to significantly reduce the energy required for cooling buildings during the summer months. Solutions like external and internal blinds, facade shutters, and windows and doors with enhanced thermal insulation systems stand out as effective tools to achieve this goal.

Sustainable activities in the construction industry stem not only from existing legal regulations but primarily from the growing environmental consciousness of architects, investors and users. One such action involves optimising the use of solar energy as a renewable source, along with the use of various glazing products in buildings. High-quality aluminium windows ensure an appealing building, robust window systems with excellent insulation.

The contemporary home is expected to be environmentally friendly, budget-conscious, and equipped with all modern comforts. Energy efficiency is now the paramount feature demanded by both investors and final users in modern constructions. But what trends are leading the way?

Climate change presents one of the most pressing challenges of our time, largely driven by excessive carbon dioxide emissions. This underscores the importance of integrating eco-friendly solutions in modern construction. Sustainable building, which leverages renewable energy and reduces CO2 emissions, addresses the needs of both our environment and future generations.

Although terraces are not officially included in the usable floor area of a building, they are an integral part not only of private homes but also of hotels, eating places and an increasing number of office buildings. Thanks to modern architectural solutions and building systems, a terrace may not only be decorative, but also practical – it can provide convenient use regardless of the weather.

Plus-energy construction is a concept gaining increasing popularity worldwide. Just like passive and net-zero energy buildings, plus-energy buildings are energy-efficient and environmentally friendly. Their trump card lies in the fact that they produce more energy than they consume, allowing the surplus to be fed back into the power grid.

Energy costs are rising. This means that the owners or tenants of commercial properties must start paying more attention to the operating costs of the buildings they use. Energy savings should be considered during the design stage of the building. It will be more than worth it.

We care about the environment in many different ways. Not only by sorting waste and using public transport instead of a car. The changes occurring in the construction industry, including the trend for the architecture of care, also have a significant impact on ecology.

Renovating existing buildings is not just a way to restore their current functionality and visual appeal, it is an important route to enhancing their energy efficiency. Discover specific examples of renovations that realistically increase a building's energy efficiency and reduce the operating costs.

Destruction of the natural environment, climate change, air pollution, and emissions are what has been challenging the construction industry for some time. Added to this is a new challenge, the sharp hikes in energy prices.

Nature is within reach, and at the same time, an energy-efficient building that is not only environmentally friendly but also easy on the user's wallet? With windows, doors, and glazed facades in modern systems, it’s possible to build in a way that is contemporary, warm, and eco-friendly all at once.
