20 Acoustic insulation Law 447/95 foresees the protection against noise transmission in buildings, which can be done in particular through acoustic floor insulation. This can be implemented by creating horizontal structures of a suitable mass, placing layers of material between the fl oor and the screed that dampens the vibrations due to impact noise. Depending on the building's use, the law specifi es the different phono insulation parameters. With the help of Iglù® H 4-8-12 cm, which is placed between the screed and the slab structure, a noise control mechanism is implemented that makes it possible to increase the level of comfort in homes, with the additional benefi t of a cavity that is created through which cables and piping can be passed and is also a less heavy solution than the classical screed. In combination with specifi c phono insulating packages Iglù® helps reach the values specifi ed by regulations in terms of noise. REINFORCED CONCRETE SLAB SEPARATOR SHEET INSULATING LIGHTENED CONCRETE FLOOR WITH FOUNDATION IGLU’® H=8-12 cm REINFORCED CONCRETE FLOOR The framework law on acoustic pollution no.447 dated 26/10/95 establishes the fundamental principles on protecting the outdoor environment and the residential environment from acoustic pollution. The topic of energy savings and environmental protection has become very important today; Trentino Alto Adige, with the CasaClima Agency and its energy certifi cation has created a virtuous circle of sustainable architecture on a national level. A building's energy certificate can help evaluate its energy efficiency and estimate consumption, furthermore it is mandatory to display it when selling the property. Daliform Group, which is ahead of its time, has carried out studies and tests for a heat recovery system using an under-fl oor cavity with Iglù® H. 12 cm, together with the University of Brno (Czech Republic), which led to interesting results thanks to which buildings can be built with a high energy efficiency class (Class A, A+ and passive house) making it possible to save energy for air conditioning, which is economic with an initial investment (see page 18). Iglu® also contributes toward additional energy savings through the use of ventilated cavities on all fl at roofs (see "ventilated roof"). Daliform Group Srl has again demonstrated its particular attention to sustainable building and respect for the environment by becoming an ordinary member of the Green Building Council Italia. Today, on an international level, one of the new challenges for our industry is represented by LEED certifi cation (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design), one of the building certification systems that is currently most widespread in the construction industry. The goal of GBC Italia is the transformation of the market so that the “green buildings” - buildings with a low environmental impact - become commonplace and are accepted as a deep-rooted factor in society. These are the values that drive the Daliform Group to work on developing and offering innovative products for effi cient constructions, guaranteeing wellbeing and a healthy environment. Energy savings and respect for the environment From the onset, Daliform Group srl has been committed to environmental sustainability, a field in which it has obtained impressive results. www.baygar.com
