Saint-Gobain has created the first positive energy primary school in Europe

Saint-Gobain has inaugurated in Stuttgart (Germany), the first positive-energy primary school. Built in 1954, the Plusenergie Uhlandschule is now renowned for the fact that it produces more energy than it consumes. For this project, an extensive renovation program was undertaken starting in 2013 by Saint-Gobain Weber, Saint-Gobain Glass and Saint-Gobain ISOVER, including the complete insulation of the building’s envelope and the installation of triple-glazing. For the interior finish, Saint-Gobain Rigips installed solutions including the Activ’Air technology that ensures healthy indoor air. The Saint-Gobain Recherche teams were also tasked with monitoring the project from the scientific angle.

This achievement is part of the Group’s Multi-Comfort program.
