. For instance in office buildings, Peikko’s Deltabeam can
save 30 cm on each floor since it is a slim-floor system into which wiring and
installations easily fit instead of having concrete beams hanging down. By saving
space, less heating and cooling is necessary which lowers costs. Moreover, if a
customer wants to have a LEED certificate for their building, they are interested
in whether or not they can get points with Peikko’s products or not. In this case,
for instance, it has to be taken into account that steel material cannot be
transported more than 700 km, which requires a lot of planning. Then it is
important to bring out that Peikko operates sustainably. Otherwise with the
Deltabeam sustainability aspects are stressed, which is positioned as sustainable,
whereas other products of the company have lesser impact on making a building
sustainable.
