How Ytong supports Passivhaus projects in Spain

Xella Spain recently developed a new enclosure system for multi-family houses that achieved Passivhaus certification. Thanks to its properties, Ytong is ideal for low- or zero-energy projects, as demonstrated by multiple examples across the country.

High urgency but also great potential - as Energy Manager, Isabelle Scherle relies on technical expertise and interdisciplinary communication to achieve sustainable progress. In her free time, she finds balance in working with an animal welfare organization.

Sustainable and energy-autonomous: The future of housing is being created in Romania

This showcase project in Romania demonstrates just how serious we are when we say in our brand claim that we are building a sustainable world. Our products are part of a residential complex that demonstrates how to live in a sustainable and energy-autarc way.

Building in the energy crisis: certified and energy-efficient housing in Italy

In the Italian province of Turin, a new residential complex is being built that achieves Class A energy certification. This was achieved with the help of sustainable AAC systems.

Saving energy with autoclaved aerated concrete, calcium silicate blocks and insulating materials

The more heating costs rise, the more important good insulation becomes. That is why the EU is also increasing its pressure on owners of old and new buildings.

Higher energy efficiency in Deva, Romania

Reduction of CO2 emissions is high priority target for Xella within our sustainability strategy. By 2030, we want to reduce our CO2 emissions intensity by 30% vs 2019. As a significant measure, we want to increase our energy efficiency - for example, in the production of autoclaved aerated concrete,

Crisis-proof building solutions made of autoclaved aerated concrete

In times of rising energy, material and production costs, construction managers are looking more than ever for building solutions that are efficient, sustainable, and affordable. Solutions made of autoclaved aerated concrete are thereby obvious in this context, especially for reasons of sustainabili

Why efficient construction is not only sustainable but also a driver of the national economy

Energy efficiency makes the German economy more competitive internationally. Because companies that use fewer resources operate more sustainably and invest their capital in innovations.

Higher energy efficiency is the royal road to CO2 reduction

The construction industry is an important lever for more climate protection. What are policymakers planning? And what impact will this have on companies, customers and other stakeholders? We asked Christian Noll, Chairman of the German Corporate Energy Efficiency Initiative (DENEFF).

Sustainability of AAC: innovations and research are crucial

The construction industry is considered one of the biggest consumers of resources and energy. For this reason, it has a special role to play in climate protection. Our focus: offering solutions that are durable, ecological, and recyclable – and yet remain affordable. That's why we invest in resear

More energy efficiency with photovoltaic systems

In April 2021 the first photovoltaic system was commissioned on the roof of the Xella production plant in Atella, Italy and covers now 60 to 65 percent of the energy needs of the production plant. More systems are coming in 2022.
