Dulux has been granted Declare Red List Free certification across its envirO2 range. Issued by the International Living Future Institute, Declare is a transparency label that screens product ingredients against the Living Building Challenge (LBC) Red List to help specifiers find sustainable and health-risk-free products.

The Thermomass insulation system creates a structurally composite, fully insulated concrete sandwich wall when used for plant precast and site-cast tilt-up applications. Concrete sandwich panels utilizing this system comply with section J of the Building Code of Australia (BCA). As a system, Thermomass is both fully integrated and highly energy-efficient. It is unique because it uses composite fibre connectors that are chemically and thermally compatible with concrete in order to prevent cracking, spalling and delamination. The Thermomass system insulates buildings from the outside, which allows the mass of the internal layer of concrete to be used as a heat sink. This arrangement passively regulates building temperature, potentially reducing the energy consumed for climate control. compositeglobal.com Item 41 Enquire at productnews.com.au…
