FAQs

How can Schüco Value Up help to fulfil climate protection requirements and taxonomy specifications for existing buildings?

Schüco Value Up is specifically designed to support building operators in modernising their existing properties. The aim is to establish a balancing act between climate protection requirements, efficient operational procedures and value preservation. More than 85% of the buildings standing today will still be used for decades and Schüco Value Up helps to gradually bring these existing structures up-to-date. From energy-efficient façade solutions to digital monitoring tools, the concept offers all of the components required to make the operation of the building more sustainable and economical.

This can help building operators meet project-specific, climate policy requirements (such as CO₂ reduction targets or adhering to the EU taxonomy), without compromising the ongoing operation of the building. At the same time, the property becomes more attractive for users, as modernisation helps to increase comfort and safety. Schüco Value Up ensures the value of your building in the long run while supporting you in reducing your operating costs and optimising management of your building – for future-proof building operation.

In what ways can Schüco Value Up reduce the operating and energy costs in a renovated existing building?

Schüco Value Up makes it possible for building operators to achieve climate targets for their existing buildings. Even in existing buildings, reducing carbon emissions is a significant challenge – outdated façades and windows are often inefficient and lead to unnecessary emissions. With Schüco Value Up, these weak points can be targeted and resolved. Energy-efficient renovation measures, such as retrofitting highly insulated façade units or efficient ventilation solutions, can help to significantly reduce energy consumption. This also reduces the building's greenhouse gas emissions.

Schüco Value Up is geared towards current climate standards and helps you to meet climate protection law specifications or internal sustainability strategies. Every measure is planned according to the specific project, so that carbon emissions from your building can be reduced as much as possible. At the same time, economic efficiency remains a focus so that climate protection and cost efficiency can go hand in hand. Schüco Value Up helps you to align your existing properties with climate standards, without interfering with ongoing building operation.

Which digital tools and minimally invasive measures for more efficient building operation are included with Schüco Value Up?

A central component of Schüco Value Up is to increase the energy efficiency of existing buildings. By modernising the building envelope with highly insulated windows and façade systems, heat loss can be reduced and requirements for heating and cooling are lowered. Solutions like integrating sun shading systems or energy-efficient ventilation concepts also contribute to this, as less energy is required to maintain a comfortable indoor climate.

Schüco Value Up takes a holistic approach to buildings. Every renovation measure is designed to improve the balance between electricity and thermal energy. This pays off immediately in terms of building operation, whereby energy consumption is reduced and, in turn, so are operating costs. Operators can also benefit from improved user comfort, as energy-efficient building envelopes ensure consistent temperatures in both summer and winter. Not only can you achieve climate targets in the long run, but you can also ensure economical management of your building. Schüco Value Up transforms an energy efficient renovation backlog into an opportunity: more efficiency, less consumption.

How does Schüco Value Up contribute to the long-term value preservation and future reliability of my property?

Schüco Value Up helps you to sustainably reduce the operating costs of your property. New windows or façades with higher thermal insulation, for example, can lead to a significant reduction in heating and cooling costs, and improve energy efficiency. Additionally, a modernised building envelope increases the durability of the building components, which can reduce maintenance costs. Many Schüco systems are constructed to be low-maintenance and designed for continuous operation. Where desired, Schüco also offers regular maintenance and repair services, so that potential issues can be detected early and resolved before they result in expensive consequential damage.

User comfort also has an indirect impact on costs. A building with an optimised climate and easy operation results in fewer complaints and disruptions, which keeps the operation of the building efficient. As a whole, Schüco Value Up ensures that your building can be run economically, from energy costs and maintenance through to facility management. This helps you to keep your running costs under control and creates financial scope for further investment.

Does Schüco Value Up provide care and maintenance support after the renovation?

Schüco Value Up does not end with the renovation – the solutions also benefit the operator in the ongoing management of the building. Modern sensors and digital tools can be integrated in the new windows, doors and façade units to monitor the condition of the building in real time. For example, opening cycles, weathertightness and wear and tear are recorded digitally, so that any maintenance needs can be identified early on. Schüco is therefore offering a digital building management system that provides you with an overview of all relevant components. This means maintenance can be scheduled and adjusted as required, which minimises downtimes and increases reliability.

In addition, the intelligent systems enable efficient control of functions like ventilation or sun shading, which optimises operational energy consumption. With Schüco Value Up, your existing building will essentially become a “smart building”. All of the important data about the building envelope is available at a glance, meaning you can manage your project in a way that is significantly more focused and straight-forward. The result is the smooth and efficient operation of the building, with complete control over technology, user comfort and costs.
