TECHNAL explains how architects, specifiers and project teams can make more informed choices when replacing façades, windows and doors within existing buildings. 

Drawing on TECHNAL’s expertise as part of the Hydro group, the session will examine the full material journey—from provenance and recycled content to traceability, performance and end-of-life recovery. It will also explore how low-carbon aluminium systems can be integrated into refurbishment projects while responding to compliance requirements and the complexities of existing buildings. 

Through practical guidance and industry insight, attendees will learn how to: 
 Assess embodied carbon and material provenance when specifying aluminium systems 
 Understand the role of recycling, traceability and closed-loop processes 
 Navigate key performance, compliance and integration considerations 
 Apply circular principles to the specification of replacement façades, windows and doors.
