Latvia has strict energy efficiency regulations that align with EU energy directives, ensuring that new and renovated buildings are highly insulated and energy-efficient. LandVac vacuum glazing is a cutting-edge solution that meets and exceeds these standards in several key ways: 

1. Ultra-Low U-Values for High Thermal Performance

  • LBN 002-19 sets stringent requirements for heat transfer in building envelopes, with a focus on minimizing energy loss. 
  • LandVac vacuum glazing achieves a U-value as low as 0.4 W/m²K, outperforming double glazing and matching or exceeding triple glazing efficiency. 
  • This helps buildings retain heat in winter and stay cool in summer, reducing energy demand for heating and air conditioning. 

2. Compliance with Nearly Zero-Energy Building (NZEB) Requirements

  • Since 2021, Latvia has required all new buildings to comply with NZEB standards, meaning they must use very little energy and rely on renewable sources. 
  • LandVac vacuum glazing reduces heat loss and energy consumption, contributing to lower heating loads and helping buildings meet NZEB targets. 
  • Its thin profile (8.3mm – 25.1mm) allows architects and developers to create highly insulated yet lightweight energy-efficient structures. 

Enhancing Airtightness & Reducing Thermal Bridging

  • LBN 002-19 emphasizes airtightness to prevent heat leakage. 
  • LandVac’s hermetically sealed vacuum chamber eliminates convection and conduction heat loss, preventing drafts and cold spots near windows. 
  • Unlike traditional triple glazing, it doesn’t require thick frames, reducing thermal bridging and increasing overall energy efficiency. 

Optimized for Passive House & Green Building Certifications

  • LandVac vacuum glazing supports Passive House and Miljöbyggnad (Swedish Green Building Certification), which is recognized in Latvia. 
  • By minimizing heat loss and improving building insulation, LandVac helps properties achieve better energy ratings and qualify for green building incentives. 

Supports Government Incentives & Energy Grants

  • Latvia offers financial incentives for energy-efficient renovations and new constructions, particularly under EU-funded sustainability programs. 
  • LandVac vacuum glazing qualifies as a high-performance energy-saving technology, making it eligible for tax reductions and energy efficiency grants.
