en.Wedoany.com Reported - Saint-Gobain Glass and VEKA have announced the deepening of their technical cooperation in promoting energy-efficient window systems with verifiable environmental data, holding a technical seminar at VEKA Ibérica's factory in Burgos, Spain. This collaboration aims to provide designers, manufacturers, and tenderers with window configuration options that offer superior performance in energy efficiency, comfort, durability, and sustainability.
The meeting brought together the technical, product development, and tender teams from both companies to advance the performance integration of window frame systems and glass solutions. This seminar is part of the cooperation framework signed by the two companies, aimed at providing the market with solutions that meet current new construction and renovation needs as well as evolving regulations. As energy efficiency, indoor comfort, durability, and reduced environmental impact increasingly become key decision-making criteria in project phases, collaboration among manufacturers helps architects, engineers, developers, manufacturers, and tenderers select more efficient window configurations with lower environmental impact.
During the meeting, participants visited the VEKA Ibérica factory and took part in a technical workshop aimed at optimizing the performance of profile-glass combinations. The training emphasized that a consistent selection between the window frame system and glass can improve the performance of the final component, optimize user comfort, and provide long-term reliable solutions in both residential and commercial projects. Both companies agreed that windows should be understood as a complete system, whose performance depends on the correct integration of profiles, glass, design, manufacturing, and installation.
The collaboration between Saint-Gobain Glass and VEKA also includes a work line aimed at measuring environmental impact and providing verifiable information. European and Spanish national regulations are driving the industry to pay more attention to the building lifecycle and Global Warming Potential (GWP) as key indicators for assessing environmental footprint. The two parties have made progress in harmonizing methodologies and data sources to enable designers and tenderers to use consistent data. The goal is to provide greater transparency regarding the environmental performance of building solutions and anticipate scenarios where technical and environmental information will become increasingly important in material and system selection.
As part of the cooperation framework, the two parties will carry out multiple action lines, including: performance characterization and verification of window configurations using Saint-Gobain Glass solutions; coordination of environmental data (including footprint and lifecycle indicators) to provide consistent information during the tender phase; technical training for teams from product development to tendering to accelerate knowledge exchange and provide more professional responses to customers and professionals; and promotion of case studies of existing building renovations and new construction projects developed using combined solutions, focusing on energy efficiency, circular economy, decarbonization, and responsible use of resources.
Luis del Fraile, General Manager of VEKA Ibérica, stated that this collaboration represents a commitment to a more sustainable building model that meets current environmental challenges, aiming to provide designers, manufacturers, and tenderers with window frame solutions with a low carbon footprint. Esther Soriano, General Manager of Saint-Gobain Solutions Spain, emphasized that the value of this agreement lies in the continuous integration of technical training, environmental information, and practical application cases, enabling professionals to recommend glass solutions based on unified standards. Through this collaboration, VEKA and Saint-Gobain Glass reaffirm their commitment to the industry, driving the transformation of buildings towards a lower carbon footprint and higher performance quality.
