36. Multi Comfort
Titre présentation

37. Multi comfort buildings
Feel good, live well
At Saint-Gobain, our mission is about creating great places to live and improving peoples’ daily life. This led us to develop the MULTI COMFORT building concept.
FOR HOMEOWNERS:
The Multi Comfort concept allows you to create a home that works for you and the way you live. A healthy Multi Comfort home will improve your family’s wellbeing and daily life, need little maintenance and have exceptionally low running costs.
FOR BUSINESSES:
Businesses can use the multi comfort concept to gain a competitive advantage. Staff costs typically account for 90% of a business’s operating costs so even small improvements in the indoor environment can improve employees’ productivity and bring significant benefits to the business. Multi comfort helps you to reduce your environmental footprint and reduce consumption and maintenance bills. .

38. Multi comfort buildings
Feel good, live well
THERMAL COMFORT
A MULTICOMFORT building has temperatures of relative stability, neither too hot nor too cold, so
we can function comfortably, whatever we’re doing.
VISUAL COMFORT
MULTICOMFORT buildings have the right
type and right amount of light, neither too much nor too little, for specific tasks – whether
it’s bedtime reading, performing surgery or completing work
ACOUSTIC COMFORT
MULTICOMFORT buildings have
well-balanced acoustic environments to block out unwanted, harmful noise and enhance
those sounds that we want, and need, to hear.
INDOOR AIR COMFORT
In MULTICOMFORT buildings, indoor air is
kept fresh and clean – while harmful pollutants, whatever the source, are reduced
