Renson, a European leader in ventilation and sun protection, has received a RIBA accreditation for its CPD about the Healthy Building Concept (HBC). This concept is a combination of background ventilation, night cooling and solar shading. Renson’s headquarters are situated in Waregem, Belgium and are built according to this concept. The building itself is a true working model of how to overcome the sick building syndrome, CO2 poisoning but also overheating, all realised without the use of air-conditioning. It is essential that both practical and aesthetical needs are combined in order to provide a
healthy atmosphere to work in. The Healthy Building Concept also cuts in energy costs and is environmentally friendly. To learn more about HBC, please do not hesitate to contact our Maidstone office to request a CPD.
