Arnaud Duvielguerbigny has become the new secretary general of PU Europe (Brussels / Belgium; www.pu-europe.eu), the European association representing the PU/PIR insulation industry. He succeeds Oliver Loebel, who held the post for the past eight years.
PU Europe represents insulation producers, raw material suppliers and component manufacturers from 11 European countries. The association aims to showcase the benefits and support the introduction of low-energy building solutions for new construction projects and renovation works, while also developing sustainable and cost-efficient solutions using PU/PIR high performance insulation.
A Bout PU-Europe :
Innovative building products and design solutions supported by ambitious policy frameworks and well-thought financing solutions transform Europe’s building stock into energy savers. About 3 % of buildings undergo (staged) deep renovation every year reducing the energy demand of our buildings by an average of 80 % by 2050. PUR/PIR high performance insulation plays a key role in this transition process.Our mission
PU Europe’s mission is to demonstrate the benefits and support the introduction of low energy building solutions for new constructions and renovation projects across Europe, and develop sustainable and cost efficient solutions using PUR/PIR high performance insulation to support the societal shift towards the 2050 goal.
To this end, the association proactively contributes to the European political and technical decision making process in areas such as energy efficiency, sustainable construction and health & environment. Messages are underpinned by independent research to which PU Europe dedicates a substantial part of its overall budget.
