VST Details

Developed as part of an internal R & D project was an approval catalogue for the VST permanent formwork system. This approval catalogue includes a detailed database of proven and tested design details to achieve the passive house standard. Implementation of a sustainable VST system can contribute significantly to reducing CO2 emissions. Future standards and regulations are strongly oriented in this direction (reduction of environmental footprint). The VST component system is compatible with passive houses and certified by the Passive House Institute in Darmstadt (Dr. Wolfgang Feist).

The details listed below are examined exhaustively in the authorization document:
