[GUIDE] Sustainable Solutions

As a manufacturer of building products, it is essential for SOPREMA to act by promoting sustainable development and to contribute to the future of the current and successive generations.

With that in mind, we have developed our first Canadian guide to sustainable solutions. This tool gathers together all our products and systems that can help promote eco-friendly construction.

This guide is intended for construction professionals concerned with improving the way of designing, constructing, transforming, and renovating buildings and infrastructure.

Sustainable solutions are initiatives based on the will to resolve several environmental, social, and economic challenges in a durable and systematic manner. As part of the use or operation of a building, sustainable solutions must contribute to the following:

• Extending the building’s useful life
• Improving the building’s overall performance
• Increasing the building’s resilience
• Ensuring the health and comfort of the occupants

• Nature Materials: Ecosourced materials, biodiversity, biophilia
• Environmental Quality: Energy efficiency, water management, air pollution, urban heat islands
• Quality of Life: Thermal and acoustic comfort, indoor air quality, space optimization
• Durability Certification: Resilience, repairability, green certifications, built heritage, transparency (EPDs, HPDs)
