SITECH:UA

Sustainable development is a fundamental principle of all UA2GETHER construction and industrial technologies. This is what prompted the development of the SITECH:UA system.

For UA2GETHER, the principles of sustainable development are not purely declarative, but are implemented as follows:

1. 1. Reducing the carbon footprint of buildings during the production of materials and construction:

   • SITECH:UA buildings have significantly reduced consumption ratios of concrete/cement and reinforcing steel compared to "classical" industrial buildings. Reducing the consumption of energy-intensive cement and steel will also significantly reduce the carbon footprint at all stages of production and construction of buildings.
   • Replacing traditional basalt insulation with Si-X THERM boards significantly reduces the carbon footprint. A house-building plant with a capacity of 100 thousand m² of apartments per year will consume about 30 thousand m³ of insulation per year. Replacing 30 thousand m³ of traditional basalt insulation with Si-X THERM boards reduces the carbon footprint of insulation production by 25 thousand tons of eCO₂. The reduction of the Carbon Footprint for the entire UA2GETHER network for the year will be about 250 thousand tons of eCO₂.
   • A significant reduction in the self-weight of buildings will also reduce emissions from engines and carbon footprint during the transportation of building materials and structures, construction and installation works.
   • The increased thermal resistance (up to R=5 m² °K/W) of the exterior walls will also significantly reduce energy consumption for heating and air conditioning, which will significantly reduce the carbon footprint of the buildings throughout the entire life cycle of the building.

2. 2. 100% recycling

   The SITECH:UA system does not use materials that are not subject to recycling and are considered "hazardous waste" according to the European definition. The buildings of the SITECH:UA system can be almost completely recycled after the end of their life cycle.

3. 3. Eco-friendly housing

   SITECH:UA buildings are completely free of emissions of harmful materials (formaldehyde, styrene, etc.). This creates a healthy microclimate in the living area. The outer walls of our buildings "breathe freely", and together with the alkaline nature of the glue for Si-X THERM insulation boards, this eliminates the formation of mold and fungus during the operation of the house.
