Our contribution
To reach the level of requirement both in terms of comfort and sustainability, it is essential to work together from the very beginning of a project, including with the construction product manufacturers. Saint-Gobain has dedicated teams that can join a project from its very outset.
As the Saint-Gobain Group offers such a wide range of green building solutions allowing for limitless design possibilities, we have developed a great number of tools and mobile apps to help in finding the ideal glass for your project. Among these is the Calumen Live digital tool, the reference of calculation. It enables you to calculate either the light, energy, thermal or acoustic performance of your glazing, in order to find a suitable glazing for your project based on the performance values.
As part of our pledge to green building principles, Saint-Gobain has also developed a Building Information Modeling (BIM) library of Saint-Gobain integrated solutions. This new tool offers the possibility to design and operate a building in the most efficient way and give all stakeholders a clearer vision of the project.
