Sustainable aspects include the environment, corporate governance and social issues

Why sustainable sun protection is so important

The construction industry is one of the world's largest consumers of resources. Buildings have a significant influence on energy requirements, the indoor climate and the environmental balance. External solar shading plays a central role in this: it reduces energy consumption for cooling in summer and lowers heating costs in winter - thanks to the additional insulating effect on the building envelope. This improves energy efficiency all year round and contributes to a pleasant, sustainable living environment.

ROMA products offer sustainable solutions for new builds and renovations - energy-efficient, durable and low-maintenance.

EPD Environmental Product Declaration from ROMA for maximum transparency

Sustainability needs facts. That's why ROMA has created comprehensive environmental product declarations (EPD) for its Roller Shutters, external venetian blinds and vertical awnings systems. These have been tested and certified by the renowned Institut Bauen und Umwelt e. V. (IBU). ROMA was the first manufacturer in the world to receive EPDs for complete sun shading systems - a milestone in terms of product transparency.

The advantages of ROMA EPDs at a glance

  • The environmental impact of our products is clearly documented

  • Basis for sustainable building planning and certifications (e.g. DGNB, LEED)

  • Ideal for architects, planners and building owners with the highest standards

Systematic summer heat insulation - without air conditioning

Well-planned external solar shading significantly reduces heat absorption via window surfaces - and ensures that rooms remain pleasantly cool even on hot days. With ROMA products , the heat input can be stopped at the façade - without the need for energy-intensive air conditioning units.

Cooling rooms without air conditioning

A solar drive for Roller Shutters is particularly environmentally friendly: It uses sunlight to control the sun shading and works independently of the power grid. This is sustainable sun shading as ROMA understands it - energy-efficient, convenient and future-proof.

Keeping the heat in: Increasing energy efficiency in winter

Sustainable solar shading not only protects against summer heat, but also against heat loss in winter. ROMA sun shading acts like an additional layer of insulation in front of the window - especially at night when temperatures drop.

The layer of air between the blind and the window pane noticeably reduces heat exchange and helps to save heating energy. In this way, external sun shading improves the thermal envelope of the building.

Certified passive house components

A sustainable building starts with the envelope - and therefore with the sun shading. ROMA offers tested solutions for particularly energy-efficient construction: Since 2013, selected ROMA systems have been certified as passive house components. These include:

These systems meet the highest standards of thermal insulation, tightness and energy efficiency. They are ideal for forward-looking building projects that combine environmental awareness, comfort and modern design.
