Despite

On

key
factor
in

CO

is
the
optimum
recyclability
of
installed
materials,
so
that
they
can
be

at
the
end
of
their
material
lifespan.
P
VC-U
as
a material has particular
ly high potential here.
This

As

This

Digitalisation of the building envelope with IoF (Internet of Façades)
In order
for
these
raw
materials
to
be
prepared
quickly
for
reuse,
it
is
vital
to
know
which
components
of
a
unit
can
be
recycled
and
to
what
extent.
This
information
must
therefore
be
documented
immediately
for
newly
installed
units,
be
available
to
simplify
the
execution
of
main
tenance
work
throughout
its
entire
useful
life
and
be
called
up
during
the
dismantling
process,
even
decades after the b
uilding was constructed.
Schüco
as
signs
a
unique
digital
identity
to
each
unit
with
th
e
Internet
of
Façades
(IoF)
ID
in
order
to
make
all
importan
t
d
ata
acce
ssible
quickly.
The
IoF
ID
is
a
small
tag
that
is
stuck
t
o
th
e
in
stalled
Schüco
windows
and
d
oors.
For
example,
you
can
use
the
IoF
ID
to
call
up
information
on
your
smart
-
phone
about
the
in
stalled
parts,
your
warranty
claims,
mainte
nance
history
or
recycling
options
for
the
m
aterials
and
components
in
use
.
The
IoF
ID
also
simpli
fi
es s
ervice requests for unit repair
s, m
aintenance and upgrades.
The
saved
information
he
lps
increase
the
service
life
of
the
units
mark
ed
with
an
IoF
ID,
facilitates
ongoing
sus
tainable
operation
and
makes
dis
mantling
easier
for
decades,
as
it
provides
exact
details
of
which
recyclable
materials
are installed in th
e b
uilding in what quantity.
The
GWP
value
–
global

indicates
the
contribution
that
a

makes

In

a

–

Would

Would

RESIDENTIAL
The

ole
when

comes
to
climate

decision
