Low energy consumption and reduced carbon emissions are generally good for the environment. Furthermore, an improved carbon footprint has a positive impact on the cost effectiveness of a building – which in turn benefits all operators. Schüco Carbon Control enables highly efficient, low-carbon operation and easy maintenance of buildings, for increased profitability, future-proofing in line with climate policy and ongoing value retention.

For an optimised energy balance
With the Schüco maintenance service
The holistic, combinable solutions from Schüco Carbon Control make decarbonisation of the building envelope possible throughout the entire lifecycle of a building. The range of services is structured along the four phases of a building's life – planning, construction, operation and dismantling – and offers a selection of tailored solutions for every stage, with products and services from the Schüco portfolio. The solutions can be used in all stages of the construction, dovetailing seamlessly and thereby ensuring continuous, effective CO₂ reduction. For operators, Schüco Carbon Control enables highly efficient, low-carbon operation and easy maintenance of buildings, for increased profitability, future-proofing in line with climate policy and ongoing value retention.

Carbon Control is the innovative answer from Schüco to the urgent need to reduce carbon emissions in the construction industry, and offers key benefits specifically for building operators. Operators are faced with the challenge of making their buildings as sustainable and efficient as possible. Carbon Control helps them to analyse and optimise the carbon footprint of a building throughout its entire lifecycle.
The modular principle from Schüco facilitates project-specific minimisation of CO₂ in all phases – from planning and construction through to operation and then recycling. For operators, this not only means improving the environmental impact, but also securing long-term savings while the building is in operation.
The aim is to design buildings in such a way that they are not just energy efficient while in operation, but they also produce significantly fewer carbon emissions over the long term. Carbon Control helps operators to meet the requirements of tomorrow and make their buildings climate neutral, thereby making a valuable contribution to the sustainable, future-oriented operation of buildings.
Improving the energy efficiency of buildings is a key step towards reducing energy consumption and with it the environmental impact. Optimisation of the building envelope is an important approach for operators. High-quality window and façade systems, such as those offered by Schüco, help to minimise heat loss and reduce energy consumption for heating and cooling. Good thermal insulation and tightly closing windows are key to this.
Other important approaches include the use of intelligent solutions for smart building control, which monitor and adapt energy consumption levels in real time. These include systems for automated night-time cooling, heat recovery that conserves resources, effective sun shading and efficient thermal insulation. This technology helps to reduce operational carbon while ensuring cost effectiveness. Schüco Carbon Control helps operators to integrate these measures by considering the full lifecycle of a building – from planning and construction through to operation and recycling. This enables operators to run energy-efficient buildings that not only protect the environment but are also cost effective over the long term.
The IoF (Internet of Façades) ID is a smart digital solution for managing building envelopes and has been specially developed for operators. A tag with a QR code or NFC chip can record and show all relevant information about the installed units in the building envelope. These include, for example, material data, the systems used and the maintenance history.
The IoF ID offers key benefits to operators: it facilitates resource-conserving operation through optimised maintenance cycles and product upgrades, which extends the life of the systems. Moreover, the IoF ID makes it easier to subsequently recycle the façade units. Through the stored data, each unit can be clearly documented, separated by type and fed back into the material cycle.
When used in combination with Schüco Carbon Control, the IoF ID helps operators to run their buildings efficiently and sustainably.It offers precise control over the entire lifecycle of the façade – from installation through to re-use.
For operators, the control of CO₂ emissions is key to making the long-term operation of buildings sustainable and efficient. CO₂ is one of the main greenhouse gases that contributes significantly to global warming and has far-reaching consequences for the environment, economy and society. As building operation produces a significant amount of global carbon emissions, it is essential for operators to take specific measures to reduce these emissions.
As part of its European Green Deal, the EU has set ambitious climate objectives: greenhouse gases must be reduced by 55% by 2030, and climate neutrality achieved by 2050. From 2028, stricter CO₂ regulations will apply to newbuilds with more than 1000 m² of usable space; this will be extended to all newbuilds from 2030.Schüco Carbon Control helps operators to achieve these objectives by considering the overall carbon footprint of a building – from material production and construction through to operation and recycling. By making use of Carbon Control, operators can not only ensure that their buildings comply with legal regulations, but also actively contribute towards achieving the global climate objectives. In this way, carbon emissions can be minimised in a targeted manner across a building's full lifecycle, while economically efficient operation can be ensured.
