In order to help decarbonize the construction sector,
CalumenLive is a free professional tool (available in 13 languages) to configure a glazing solution while calculating its technical performance (luminosity, energy, transmission, acoustic protection).
In order to improve the advice about sustainable glazing solutions for customers, architects, consultants and partners,
The possibilities of Saint-Gobain glazing compositions are immense: coated glass, tempered or laminated glass, assembled in double- or triple-glazing. This is why detailed knowledge of all the characteristics of the glazing chosen is crucial to making the right choice. In addition to energy, light and acoustic performance, the tool also offers a new data point: The Global Warming Potential estimate (calculation of the warming linked to the various greenhouse gases expressed as the equivalent quantity of CO2 per m2 of glazing).
The data is available for European countries and covers the cradle-to-gate part of the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). These estimates are based on the latest Saint-Gobain Glass Environmental Statements[1].
