Sustainability of different finishings of facades

hi all,

I came across this info from l’ibge about the different finishings of facades. The documentation dates from 2009, but i guess most info still stands.

FYI: after the presentation I asked why the architects hadn’t considered a finishing in wood (which has the best NIBE value in the table), Serge said that since a few years - for reasons of risks of fire - the fire brigade imposes the wood is treated with an anti-fire product, which needs to be reapplied every x years.

In the documentation, they compare different finishings (bricks, metal,…) on different aspects, not only sustainability.

Diving deeper in it, the NIBE values in the above documents are not correct any more. Better to consult the NIBE website: https://www.nibe.info/nl/members
