Emerging Technologies
Digital Twins & BIM
Digital Twins and Building Information Modelling (BIM) allow for virtual models of building projects, enabling precise design, material management, and performance simulation for fenestration products.
Advanced Robotics & Automation
Integration of advanced robotics and automation in manufacturing facilities for increased precision, efficiency, and speed in fabricating bespoke aluminium fenestration products.
Smart Glass & Dynamic Glazing
Development and adoption of smart glass technologies that can dynamically change their properties (e.g., tint, opacity) to control light, glare, and thermal comfort, enhancing energy efficiency and user experience.
Impactful Policy Frameworks
Future Homes Standard (2025)
The Future Homes Standard (2025) aims to ensure new homes built from 2025 will produce 75-80% less carbon emissions than homes built under current regulations, significantly impacting building fabric requirements.
This policy will drive demand for highly energy-efficient fenestration products, necessitating enhanced U-values and thermal performance from manufacturers like Total Aluminium Solutions.
Part L (Conservation of Fuel and Power) of Building Regulations (2021 update)
The 2021 update to Approved Document L of the Building Regulations sets out more stringent energy efficiency standards for new and existing buildings, including stricter U-value requirements for windows and doors.
Total Aluminium Solutions must ensure their products meet or exceed these updated thermal performance standards, impacting design, material selection, and manufacturing processes.
Building Safety Act (2022)
The Building Safety Act (2022) introduces a new regulatory regime for building safety, increasing accountability for duty holders and placing greater emphasis on product safety and performance, particularly for high-rise residential buildings.
This act necessitates increased scrutiny on product compliance, documentation, and traceability for Total Aluminium Solutions, ensuring their products contribute to overall building safety standards.
